The Write Life

APRIL 1, 2023

Or maybe you, like me, were forged in the unforgiving fires of 2012-era Tumblr and have seen loads of posts like this or this.

But first up— Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into writing and publishing. I had a bunch of publishing contracts, and they all went very badly. I don't know if I can release this book any better than these publishers, but I know for sure I can release them just as bad. Then I did another one, I think, in 2012.

I've been following the industry, more so on the music side than publishing, but also just always straddling that line and seeing what can I take from the music industry and bring it into publishing and vice versa. I mean, like you mentioned with the drum there, I think it's exactly the same with text. I've been purchasing NFTs.

What Happened to Me in 2012 Penguin Updates. My site, WebHostingSecretRevealed.com, was hit badly during the Google Penguin update in 2012. This concept is still valid two years after I first talked about it. Here’s an example: I published a guest post on Blogging Wizard in April two years ago. Tactic #1: Content Swap.

The idea was that every day of the 12 days before Christmas, I would publish a blog post, announcing that day’s deal. The concept today is very similar. We found that html emails didn’t really convert for our audience, and so we switched to sending very short sharp, plain text emails for these 12 deals. We still do daily deals.

You’ll get to see this topic through the lens of known bloggers and marketers, but I’ll also reveal my own use of each one of these strategies and concepts. If you send a text-only, more personal email…. During the fall 2012 launch of Fearless Launching, I wrote a series of emails for the launch in addition to blog content.

We’ve also got Kelly Exeter, who’s brilliant on writing, editing, also design, self-publishing. When I first published it, I didn’t look like this. I published my first post and then, my next feeling was, “How am I going to get people to read the post?” Nicole is there as well.
