We’ve quoted Blerdgurl (formerly Derpygurl) before on promoting at cons, and she has a new post out called 10 Ways to Promote Your Project for Free With Bloggers, Journalists and Podcasters with the subtext of not being annoying. It’s a pretty clear step by step examination of how to get known in the social media […]
As the author of a long running and popular art blog the features comics among other topics, I heartily second your amendments to Blerdgurl’s suggestions. I can’t count the number of times I’ve come across an interesting piece by a young comics or webcomics artist (or even a professional) and looked them up, only to find their website impenetrable, and the task of extracting information about their background for a post so potentially time consuming that I simply pass them by.
100% agree about the name thing.
I cannot tell you how many times this irks me, and it goes beyond just finding information, it’s also about giving credit. Bloggers / reviewers… do yourself a favor and post YOUR NAME. This week I had to find pull quotes for one of my trades at Image. Printing a pull quote on the cover of MY book by “Iron Squid”, or “Geekery Greg” doesn’t help me or YOU. It made me go look for another site. That’s too bad, because I’m sure those bloggers would like to get *in print* as many times as possible (especially nowadays when getting a press pass at conventions)
As for promoting… yeah, that’s a tough one. I like the Press Kit idea and doing it both in print and digital is sound advice.
This totally reminded me to update my own about page. Thanks, Heidi!!!
