Promoting your brand
Friday, May 4, 2012

This is an excellent article about how to promote your brand as a screenwriter.

As I read I kept thinking about what I've been doing and do to promote myself.

I've never been a friend of Twitter. My blog entries ends up there, but I can't say that I'm an active user. I guess in a way that I should be, but my password has been hacked so many times, spreading spam in my name, so I don't feel very comfortable with the media. And it is just overwhelmingly much in there.

Except for this blog, I don't have a website of my own. I've been thinking about it. And since my work with the Recreators, it does not seem like an impossible thing to do any longer. I just have to figure out what and why. And a website need to be maintained and updated too. I'll ponder this a bit more before doing something about it.

On the other hand, he encouraging writers to have a blog. And this I have and use regularly. Could use more though, it is just a matter of time.

Business card? Check. I'll got those. Maybe not his idea of simple and elegant, but they are certainly not clogged.

LinkedIn? Check. Member there as well.

Professional Facebook page? Check again. Should update it more frequently though.

Networking websites? Oh, yeah. Check, check and check. Stage32 seem to be one of the better of them. But there are more of them out there. Remember that you can't just sit and wait for things to happen on these sites. You are part of the community, and it is rarely active unless you are.

Not so bad. It's just to Google my name to see if it works. And the result is pretty good, I think.
