#AtoZChallenge - Website, Promotion, Marketing



Welcome to W-DAY of the Operation Awesome A-to-Z Blogging Challenge!  This month we're doing 26 posts on WRITING MOTIVATION

Are you burned out?  That's okay!  Taking a break from your WIP is sometimes what you need to recharge.  Or, are you letting your current WIP sit for the recommended 4+ weeks so you can go back to it with fresh eyes?

My part of our Writing Motivation theme is – Things to work on that still count as writing!
W – Website, Promotion, Marketing

At some point, you'll need an author website.  You'll also need to learn about promotion and marketing, because even if you're traditionally published, and especially if you're self-published, YOU will be primarily responsible for these activities.

Where are most of your readers?  Twitter?  Facebook?  Instagram?

Should you have a blog as well as a website?  What should you blog about?

Get a jump on your research in these areas to prepare for the time when YOU, yes YOU, are a published author!
