I’ve been thinking about doing this! I’ve been doing marketing for my work and we send out monthly newsletters, and I think it’s such a smart idea. I’ve been thinking about emailing newsletters, or maybe treat my Ko-Fi as a blog style platform?
Yes it may be a lot, but if you plan it out for each month, and dedicate time to the newsletter, nothings impossible! Could start through Wordpress, or have folks add their emails on a spreadsheet and send out updates/ page snippets. Gotta start somewhere!
You've got a lot of inside knowledge on publishing. If you don't mind me asking, how does the future of social media for bookish people look? What's the vibe in marketing rn?
Oh that could be a whole newsletter. It’s obvious and reasonable that marginalized creators are very anxious about SM platforms increasingly suppressing and endangering us while publishers increasingly foist promotional responsibilities onto creators. BUT…
I was on a marketing call today with an amazing (unannounced) debut author, and they not only acknowledged the reality of the situation, but proposed alternatives on their end. So: hope!
