Marketing Monday - Pinterest Inspired

When I first started writing I would share some of my work on the blog. I'd have Tuesday teasers and from there would feel out what others thought about my writing.

Was it exciting?

Did they like the characters?

Overall it was a fabulous experience until I became superstitious.

I still wanted to keep my readers interested. Keep my writing fresh and new and letting bloggers know my new ideas.

How could I do that without sharing words?

Well there is this fabulous world online that has several other options and I found the perfect one.

Pinterest.

Just recently I started a new board. It was super simple, I titled Recreation Story. Not only was this a way for me to get some visuals for my story but it also allowed those who keep up to date to avidly watch and read about what I was working on.

I have over 38 pins and several people already lined up to beta read by the time it's needed. Not only have I began marketing a story that's not even completely written, but I've gotten people truly excited about it.

So, how does one get started?

1. Log on to Pinterest.
2. Create a new board. Use your title, if it's Unknown label it as such.
3. Start Pinning.

You're excited about the new story let others be too! This is such a fresh new way to capture new readers just based on visuals. After all the world has become more and more attentive in the online world. We need to make sure as writers that we're keeping up with the times!

Here's a few pics to share about my story! Feel free to stop by my Recreation Story board for more goodies!

This is the promise ring Hutch gives her providing she stays smart when she finds herself around liars in the Society.

Attire: When first entering Society she wore this Lacey piece to represent who and where she was from. White to explain purity, lace to explain wealth, and the length of the gown to show she has yet to be recreated (easily show lack of shimmer).

Inside Society walls. Where Birdy will live for at least Book one.

When are you going to start your next board? Have you already hopped on the story pic train? Send link! I'd love to see!
