Q: How do I market myself?
My talks at Bitmaker tend to generate some amazing follow up emails on how someone could market themselves.
Hereās a recap of the latest email Iāve received on the subject:
Writer on social justice issues.
Trying to grow a new Facebook page
Bulk of time spent writing and book talks
Trying to find someone who wants to work on getting writing / first book out into the world.
Any advice as to best ways to try finding a person who might be interested in this kind of job?
If youāre interested, DM me and Iāll provide more information and an introduction.
The larger question is how can someone be more visible on the internet and the short answer is to make sure youāre making the best content on the internet and that content is being seen by the relevant community.
Build a Blog and connect a Domain and Google Analytics to it.
There are a myriad of choices out there for a blog engine and theyāre all pretty good. I personally use Tumblr because itās free, simple and reliable. Medium is also a solid choice but since you canāt own the traffic, I wouldnāt send any additional users to it.
The time it takes to learn Wordpress tends to distract owners from producing actual value.
Plugins are usually poorly written and have no clear feedback loop when something goes wrong for someone.
Make sure you include the cost of hosting your Wordpress site into the mix.
Pipe the blog posts to marketing / communication channels that your community lives on like Medium, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.
There are many tools thatāll help you do this like Zapier and IFTTT
This is important as people tend to treat things as Facebook OR Twitter, X OR Y, rather than, Facebook AND twitter. When youāre doing paid marketing, then the game changes because tracking headaches outweighs many of the benefits from multi-channel marketing.
