I’m excited about the upcoming American Society of Journalists & Authors (ASJA) 43rd Annual Conference. My panel will be on Thursday, April 24, 2014 with my guest panelists Kirsten Koza and Katie Davis.
“Be Seen! Stand Out Online in the Most Time-Efficient & Cost-Effective Way”
If you’re feeling there’s never enough time to update your website and keep up with social media, blogging and marketing, this panel is for you. In this session Dorri Olds and panelists will teach you how to use your time efficiently to get the best results. You will be given tips and tricks based on hard-won experience including the best tools to use for your specific goals and how to get noticed online amidst worldwide competition. Learn to improve your website, blogs, and social media accounts. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube all have their own language and audiences. The model for journalists has changed. Everything we learned about not repeating words and using creative ways to say things doesn’t apply to blogging and social media and website content. Not if you want to be found. You need to blog with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind and make the most of using tags. Everything you write should be in your voice, but with a focus on keywords.
“Join 650 writers, editors, publishers and agents at North America’s premier conference for freelance writers and book authors! This year’s focus is the most important item in your writer’s toolkit: YOU. You’re the key to your success as an independent writer, and we’re here to help you boost your strengths, publicize your talents and turn your own personal stories into gold. You’ll hobnob with agents who are looking for the next bestseller and editors who are eager to buy stories. You’ll hear from the best in the business on topics like storytelling, custom content, self-publishing and negotiating. And you’ll learn the latest about protecting yourself from invasions of your privacy and your rights.”
