In today’s gadget oriented world,
where people are more fond of online videos and TV programs, reading is still
sustaining its big share of audiences. The books now have a brand new platform
for display and that is the internet. Studies have shown that now mostly the
books are purchased through online stores. Some books are also available in the
form of ebooks, which you can download on your computer and read at your
leisure.
So now writers have a huge market to
get their books published. But it has increased the competition for publishing as
well. Today, the brand publishers take the books through literary agents only. Even
the literary agents are busy stabilizing their existing clients. They do not
have any time to even look at your work.
The internet gives you numerous
opportunities, but there are equal number of frauds taking place online. Therefore,
whether you are submitting a story, poetry, prose, etc., you must be very
careful. Writers must know the tricks to successfully submit their work on
genuine websites. There is an online submission form available. If you want to
submit your poetry or story, you can fill the form with details, attach it with
your manuscript copy and sent it to an editor directly. If you are submitting a
novel, you can also attach a query letter along with your e-mail. Knowing the
technology and using it, is a wise thing, but writers must avoid mistakes which
can harm their reputation.
Mistakes
happen when people, without any experience, think that they know everything. Online
video marketing is very useful, but you should do it in the correct manner. Online
marketing will help you establish yourself in the midst of other competitors
and change the way of your career, but you must be sure about the methods you
are following.
Do
not make haste: Take some time to go through the
guidelines before submitting to an editor online. You must make sure that you
have understood the process. You must know how much line count is required, and
how to save your file, and what is the file format. Sending a wrong kind of
file or manuscript, which is longer than expected can damage your image as a
writer. All the options should be filled in correctly and checked before
sending.
Uploading
your work: The common mistake that people make more regularly is uploading the
video in one place only. Uploading your video on a single website will help you
get success. In order to attract many viewers and generate money out of it, you
require strong marketing techniques. Just putting your work on one url is not
enough.
Remember
this: You must be careful while submitting your work. Many people go through
the process very carefully, but make haste while submitting. You must verify that
all the steps are followed properly. You must receive a completion message or
receive a confirmation message about your submission.
Do
it yourself: Most people opt for doing all the marketing procedures themselves.
As a writer, you are expert in writing, but presenting oneself with good
staging is very important. You do not want amateur presentations to be sent to
your clients. Therefore, you must hire a professional to make the work
impressive for clients. You can learn the tricks in the process.
Proofreading:
You must go through the formatting and text and grammar, before submitting. It
should match the standards that are required and expected from you.
Promoting
: When you put the video online, you think your task is over. Now, the people
will come in flocks to visit your website. How will they know about your work?
This requires promotion of your work. You will have to create a promotional
video. You can use social media and other forms of marketing. This will make
your work known to people and they will visit your website. People generally
forget to promote their work and wait for the viewers to visit their website. Proper
promotion is equally important.
