There’s such a wonderful comment on yesterday’s post that I wanted to bring attention
to it (slightly modified to apply to all genres). Thank you, Banana the Poet (aka
Michele Breton)! Follow her on Twitter or visit
her site.





Simple Checklist for Getting Known, Getting Readers, Building Platform

• Blog your work and gather readers (Michele blogged for three years)
  
  

• Join Twitter (and/or Facebook)
  and make friends with like minded people

• Contribute comment regularly on blogs and sites (like Writer’s
  Digest Poetic Asides prompt challenges)

• Start publishing company (optional, but great route for poets)
  
  

• Release poetry book (possible to accomplish for free and with little or no technical
  expertise, through services like Smashwords, Lulu, Scribd)
  
  

• Format for Kindle and release

• Get onto the Barnes Noble Nook
  system

• Ask hubby to turn my book into an iPhone
  application

What other steps would you add, or have you found to be critical?
