You may already have some pages on the web, but now you need to harness the internet as the global ambassador for your work. At Writers Direct we're here to help you achieve exactly that. Our online marketing services apply equally to existing websites or to new sites you commission from us.
Full Marketing Campaign
from $850 a month
This is a six month campaign, and it turns the internet on its head for you. Instead of waiting for readers to stumble across your website, we put you in front of them and demand their attention. We start with a full health-check of all your internet assets, including your website, search engine profile, links, user feedback, blogs, plus your presence on third-party resources such as FaceBook, YouTube, Wikipedia, index sites, directories and discussion boards. We leave no stone unturned, including any malicious, threatening or otherwise harmful material. We then analyze your global marketplace and your current place in it. We identify the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats you face. Then, based on our findings, we present you with a battleplan for harnessing the internet to your best advantage.
Once we have agreed the battleplan, ideally two or three months prior to the launch of a new title, we start hitting the search engines. Then you'll need to work hard with us. We'll want material for your blog, proative newsletters, and our viral marketing campaign via RSS, social network sites and online reader groups. As soon as you give us details of your book cover, we'll prepare downloadable publicity material including themed bookmarks, book-signing slips, visitor cards, letterheads, in fact everything you need to help your book launch and media campaign.
Personal Marketing Consultancy
$1,200 a day + expenses
This is a unique service. You'll need a major publishing deal, a dedicated budget, and the willingness to meet us face to face - even if it's via a video-conferencing service like Skype. This is also a very personal service, from the people who have been harnessing computers for writers and entertainers since the 1970s. We invented online viral marketing in the 1980s. We pioneered writers' websites in the 1990s. And we have tamed the likes of Google for our clients since it was launched. You'll brief us before we meet, and we'll prepare everything relevant to you and your book. Then on the day we'll spotlight every internet opportunity available to you, your agent and your publisher, and show you how to achieve the best possible marketing success.
