Anytime, I hear people say writing is the easiest job in the world, I can not prevent myself from laughing out loud, because, apparently, they do not have a slightest idea of what they are talking about.
It is, indeed, a pity that most African countries do not value the craft, and often, talk people out of it, claiming it is a job for the lazy–which beats me, they do not know the benefits of being a creative!
It takes a whole lot of confidence to be in the writing field; a lot of discouragement abound in the world today, reason most young writers resort to shelving their works, afraid of what the world might think of them.
The earlier we begin awakening our minds on the various opportunities writing is capable of bringing to the universe, the better it will be for the evolving lot, who seek to make a living out of such a creative adventure.
Like any other career which involves reaching a target audience, the need for developing effective marketing strategies for business growth is very vital.
It is never enough to have interest in writing and just sit back, waiting for magic to happen, you need to devise a way out of stagnancy.
Here are the sure three(3) strategies to achieving that growth you have always wanted in your writing career :
1. Engage the services of a professional marketer with a fair knowledge of what writing entails, as they know, exactly, what to do to attract and engage an audience.
2. Learn from accomplished writers; their techniques of marketing, pick a lesson or two, add them to what you, already, know and brace yourself up for grace!
3. Get and keep a target audience; one which is in line with your capabilities, your writing style and aura.
Getting past your phobia, of how to achieve perfect sales and views, can not improve, until you change your approach towards the job you love the most.
