Domo Arigato, E-Mail Roboto
We’ve been talking about building your platform. This week, we are discussing e-mail automations, and how they can make your platform-building life oh so much easier!
Tune in this week to find out how you can set your e-mail service provider up to automatically welcome your readers, distribute your reader magnet, and follow up with potential readers to make sure they are satisfied with the experience.
See you there,
Jamie
What is my platform you ask? The question sends my mind into a tailspin. Being an introvert, a platform is the very last thing I am looking for. As a writer, though, if anyone besides my mother and her friends are going to see my book, I do need a platform for it.
Today’s podcast is the introduction to our series Building Your Platform. Sit in with us as we discuss each step toward builing a great one.
Today the ladies and I discuss our Camp Nano goals and success and decide if we will do it again next spring.
There were several title suggestions for today’s episode: Rhonda’s Inquisition, Three Tarts on the Spot, Convince Me…I could go on. The fitting title was “Convince Me” because I put them to the task today and they did convince me I should participate in Camp Nano for the first time.
If you’re on the fence about committing your valuable time to Nano for the second time in the last five months, watch our discussion and see if it will help you decide.
During our podcast meetings, we have thrown around the idea of posting an out-takes video. Well, your wait is over because today we filmed a whole hour’s worth! Of course, this wasn’t intentional but we’re hoping that all of our goofs and silly mistakes are a good omen concerning Jen’s own online book launch party tonight; you know, similar to the old ‘break a leg’ adage.
Ecclesiastes 7:14a (NIV) reminds us of this:
“When times are good, be happy but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other.”
There was an important lesson in today’s crazy podcast. It showed me how nice it is to have a group of women whom I can be comfortable enough with to flub in front of them without too much embarrassment. I believe that this group is the type of the thing God blesses His children with when we trust Him during the good times and the bad. And I felt like it was a good bonding experience for our writing group. I hope they did too…because these women are my valentines 🙂
While I am praying for only the best for Jen tonight, if the avalanche of oopsies continues throughout the night, I know she will be thanking God for the results He has in mind for her. Regardless of our (my) performance today, we gave much valuable advice and plenty of tips to get you thinking about how to launch your own book.
Hop on the roller coaster that is this episode, the final wrap up for our 2018 NaNoWriMo.
