Maybe a writing program wants creations. Well, maybe you have creations that are in the market place. You probably have not sold one thing. You feel that you need to write about your creation to get it known and to help it sell.
Maybe a writing program wants creations. Well, maybe you have creations that are in the market place. You probably have not sold one thing. You feel that you need to write about your creation to get it known and to help it sell. Some writing programs will not accept your articles if they feel that you are too marketing oriented. So we need writing programs for marketing and maybe even business opportunity.
Writing about your creation in the market place is something that you know best. Maybe you are bored to death with writing about celebrities, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and things that are in the news too much and all of the time. They have their fame and fortune. If we could spend more time writing about our creations and marketing, a new community of inventors might get somewhere. We need new things and new ideas. You feel there is no place for you. However, you know where you need to be. You need to be where there is promotion and advertisement. Yes, you need to make money, and you need a business too. You must think big. So how do you promote yourself? You can promote yourself through writing.
Some people make their own websites and blogs. Maybe there is not much traffic coming through. You really have to promote yourself with websites and blogs too. You want to be in a place where there is a tremendous amount of traffic for all eyes to see you. You need to be where the market oriented is accepted.

How one markets oneself is KEY. I have submitted concepts to several organizations and I either receive no response or I am advised that the company is under contract with an ad agency that does all of their “sparking”. I have pretty much resolved that my approach will get me less than “a penny for [my] thoughts”. A reality, however, is we are in a bad “idea” period because of the economy. Idea efforts/concepts also are endangered right now because there is an abundance of unscrupulousness in the marketplace as they all scrimmage to survive.

Thanks, Sandra, for your comments. I felt the way you do before the economy got bad. It seemed that I was getting nowhere.

Nice article! Even the most talented work will never see the light of day if people don’t know about it so you are very right that marketing is very important!
Blessings.

Very interesting article, Gail. I agree that you can be the best writer and it won’t matter without the right marketing.

Thanks for stopping by. Sometimes you can do something that will draw a lot of viewers and people will buy what you market. I guess it’s something that takes a while. Advertising and writing about it helps even more.
