“marketing” as a learned skillset is so intrinsically linked to capitalism that it’s basically impossible to separate.  the marketing industry is BUILT on convincing people they want/need things they don’t. i could rattle off about a dozen ways you’re casually manipulated constantly while just surfing the web, even if you’re not SHOPPING. (i will not rn because this is a quick explanation.)

however 

the idea that marketing is only useful for capitalistic greed is…. not correct. and shying from the entire concept Because Capitalism will do you a disservice, because it’s not just “manipulate a stranger into buying my stuff” - it’s ALSO “understand how to reach the audience who is already predisposed to liking my stuff”

like, you don’t have to Make anyone want your stuff! you just have to let the people who already DO want your stuff know it’s out there!

i wrote a post about how kudos on ao3 are a marketing game, because they are. but the marketing aspect is about how you PACKAGE the fic so that people who are interested will read it. on a lesser level, there’s also formatting the fic itself so it’s readable. and i wrote notes on how the group of People Who Like This will be larger if you follow certain fandom trends.

but like, my premise for ao3 marketing is NOT “trick people into thinking they’ll enjoy your fic when they actually wouldn’t.”  it’s literally just “be aware of what your audience looks for in tags/summaries/relationships, and tag your work with those things, so that when said audience sees your fic, they know it’s something they want to read.”

when you’re not doing the capitalist thing of Manipulating People Into Thinking They Need Things They Don’t, marketing at its core is just.  “hey, i have a thing i think you’ll be interested in. this is my pitch for why it’s interesting. i wrote it based on what i know about things you find interesting.”

it is!! an incredibly valuable skillset to have!! INCLUDING if you want NOTHING TO DO with all the data and analytics and marketing language nonsense that comes with Selling Stuff and Having A Marketing Career.

so this is like. a Deeply Sarcastic response to the idea that…. like…. marketing is an inherently malicious thing & that packaging your work based on your audience’s interests is a Horrible Flagrant Manipulation Because Capitalism.

the actual USEFUL thing i would like to say is that if you want to learn How To Make People Look At Stuff, the answer literally is just to learn about personal marketing.  i use the word marketing because that is where to start if you want to learn! that is where you’ll find all the relevant materials.
