How are you today, my awesome readers?
It's been an exciting week for me and I've learned a lot –
about Patreon, about publishing. Patreon in different than other platforms I've
published on – it combines publishing with promoting which is demanding and fun
all at the same time.
Demanding in that you do all the work at once – writing,
posting, and then figuring out ways to catch the eyes of readers looking for
what I've got. I know you're out there! Pick
a tier and sign up! Put a little ooky on your lunch menu. Find a kid story to
read to your little. Read an essay about a topic we both have opinions about.
If you don't see anything that floats your boat, drop me a
comment and I'll see what I can do because Patreon is all about you and what
you want to read.
So far I have thirty pieces published on Patreon, and I'm
adding to them every day. I've been popping new stories/essays/poems up every
day since my launch trying to get cool stuff in front of your eyeballs.
I'm already tweaking the hell out of my Patreon Plans –
I was only going to have one tier with everything on it, but
I now have four – Kid's stuff ($3/month), horror stories ($3.25/month),
non-fiction & poetry ($3.75/month), and a combo that has everything
($10/month). I did that because I wanted
to create a tier that would separate my children's stories from everything else.
And I took into consideration that people looking for horror stories might not
care about my personal essays – thus, three separate tiers and one big ol' pile
of everything.
Another idea I tweaked was publishing on Fridays. I decided
to expand on that. I'm putting up stuff
every day. I planned to put a piece up
from each of my niches every week – and that's still my plan, but I'm going to
put one or two things up a day.
Then there is Freebie Friday when I put up a piece or two
for free.
Now I need to get some attention! So check out the stuff I
have up – some is for free just to give you samples of my work. Come on,
everybody! Broken Old Broad writing here!
Drop me a line! Eyeball my page and subscribe – it's like
watering a story tree. Come read under it!
For those of you who read this blog regularly, I'm changing its name from Pause for Thought to Broken Old Broad Blog to make it more easily found. I hope you like it!
Have a great week!
