One of the tools I've long used to promote is the AuthorsDen.com community of writers. I use their gold membership to send out my newsletters but they also have a truly FRUGAL membership level (-: and now they're adding something exciting and new. But I'll let my AuthorsDen friend, Matt Miller tell you about it:
In a matter of days AuthorsDen.com will be launching the AuthorsDen Marketplace.
The idea is for us to be a conduit to provide jobs to authors and community professionals and to offer fellow authors practical community support and help in needed areas.
Services will be provided by third parties, not authorsden directly
opening more doors of opportunity to members of AuthorsDen.
In the meantime, join. This Web site is a great beginners site for authors. Many authors use it throughout their writing careers. I have another site because I need to offer lots of Resources for Writers, but I continue to use AuthorsDen for all the other benefits it offers and as a backup when servers are down, etc. AuthorDen is a promotion workhouse and reliable!

I'm on Author's Den, but not with a paid membership. Too many other sites for me to maintain at the moment!
ReplyDeleteSaw your message on my blog - will get back to you later this week. Kinda crazy at the moment!
I'm a long-time Author's Den member and also used the paid service for my ezine emailing. For those of you who have to move from one list to another, Author's Den is a good place to do because they require all your readers to opt-in again. They take your word for it that you already got permission. Which is a nice thing! When I had to switch after making changes, I couldn't find anyone that would take my list without requiring everyone opt-in in again. :)
ReplyDeleteI will check out the new offerings. Although, like Diana...I do find it hard to keep up with it all.
Oops! I meant to say..."They don't require all your readers to opt-in again."
ReplyDeleteI'm also a member of Authorden, but not with a paid membership. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to visit often.
ReplyDeleteI am a paid member of AuthorsDen and check it almost daily. I am always excited to see how many visitors have dropped by and see the reviews etc, It is a great place to be a member, Can't wait to see the new programs they are offering. I think it is the best site offered to have folks see your work. Thousands have visited my site there.
