Last week I tapped in to the fabulous, amazing, wonderful IndieReCon.
There was abundant information for authors in general, not just indie authors.
Like, how to start a mailing list and how to send out newsletters. Over on the top right, you'll see a new box. All you have to do is pop your email address in and you'll receive all the new and up to date information about my novels.I will only be sending out newsletters once a month, unless I have some ridiculously exciting news to share with you. The newsletter will also include a health and happiness section where I share on a more personal level. And I'll include my favourite reads each month.
I'm using a free service that was recommended during IndieReCon - MailChimp . I'm not going to explain how to use it or give you a step by step, because I'm technically clueless. But I worked it out... So, if I can work it out, it must be extremely user friendly.
The other exciting thing I've done since IndieRecCon is start to post poetry from my (to be published) novel Stephanie. If you'd like to read parts of that story, they're up now on Wattpad. I plan to add a new piece each week. Wattpad is a user friendly site with loads of encouraging readers willing to read, comment and vote for your story.
And the best thing about IndieReCon... All the info is still up on their site for anyone to read!

Thanks for sharing this information. It's always nice when someone mentions things that work for them.

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome they have a conference for indie authors, since they tend to have to do so much on their own when it comes to marketing books. Thanks for the info! :)
