Meet 94-year-old Betty Summer, a member of the Newberry Literary
Book Club. I spoke about publishing, writing, and mysteries at
a quaint event at her niece's home, Sue Summer, in Newberry, South
Carolina. Ms. Summer was quite the remarkable lady, graciously
telling me that I made her outing that day very enjoyable. She's
part of what this business is all about . . . and she made MY day.

EDITOR'S THOUGHTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THOSE FREE MAGS IN BARS

Every city has them . . . the free magazines you see in a wire
rack as you enter a bar or your favorite kick-back restaurant.
In my area, you may find them at Hooters, at my favorite
eatery Bogarts in West Columbia, or at Wigs on Main Street.

Most of them fall into the small town journalism category with
the journalists being purely freelancers who have other jobs.
Fertile ground for new writers. Just pitch a great topic or
a wonderful profile. Interviews are smart ways to get your
foot in the door. Such a journalist interviewed me several
months ago for The Columbia Star - that reaches the entire
city of Columbia, SC.

Others fall into the literary journal context, where they lean
a bit more to social and artistic issues. I'll be featured in
the November issue of The Blotter Magazine in the Raleigh/Durham,
North Carolina area in another week or so. Not only did they
interview me, but they published a huge excerpt of Lowcountry
Bribe. My mouth fell open at my advance copy. These small
periodicals have latitude, so don't be afraid to pitch the
unique ideas and the unusual presentations.

Then there are also the free family and parenting magazines
you'll find at the exits of grocery stores and family dining
establishments. You've seen them, but may not have picked one
up.

And then there's SKIRT! Magazine, free in stands all over the
South, but pays well for what we love to write and can't find
markets for . . . personal essays. Geared to women in their
20s to 40s, it's an exceptionally successful publication that
pays $150-$250 for essays. And they would love to hear from
you if you have a blog in mind.

http://skirt.com/contributor_guidelines
http://morris.com/divisions/magazines-lifestyle/skirt-magazine#magazine

I'm just beginning to understand the advantages of pitching,
writing, and spreading the word at home. A newspaper interview
in a small town nearby resulted in a radio appearance, a book
club afternoon and an invitation to be the featured speaker at
the county library's annual banquet in the spring.

Don't make it hard. Opportunity might be literally in your
daily path.

Six Ways to Warm up to Cold-calling!
By: Jennifer Brown Banks

Many writers construct online sites with all the bells and
whistles, expecting it to be the equivalent of a lottery ticket
to a better life. Though websites are great promotional tools,
today’s savvy writer recognizes that a website or blog should be
used in tandem with other marketing efforts for optimal results.
Simply put, an attractive site may get potential customers to
your virtual doorstep, but may not necessarily convert them into
paying clients.

This is where cold-calling can come in. This popular, age-old
technique that's been used effectively to enhance sales by other
industries for decades, can increase a writer’s client base,
confidence and bottom line. In fact, many will discover that in
this technological world, a small gesture like a phone call can
make a big difference. Why? It provides a personal touch, can
help establish immediate rapport,and increases efficiency.

For those who believe cold-calling puts them in the same category
as “pesky telemarketers, “it‘s time for a paradigm shift. In
today’s tough freelancing climate, one must employ every advantage
to stay in the game and stay in the black.

According to Peter Bowerman, author of the Well-fed Writer series,
“Assuming you’re a competent, reliable writer, if you pursue this
business, you’ll be a professional marketing a valuable and needed
professional service to other professionals.”

Note: This year alone, I landed several major clients by simply
dialing up businesses that had advertised in our local community
newspapers. And you can too.

Now that you know why, here are six savvy ways to warm up to
cold-calling:

1. Believe in what you’re selling.

Are you a killer copywriter? An expert in SEO? Have you written
an informative self-help book that you’re convinced bookstore
owners in your area should know about? Ask any veteran salesman
and he’ll tell you the better you feel about your product or
services, the easier it is to get “geeked” about it, and have
others feel good about it too.

2. Remember, practice makes perfect.

There’s no doubt about it: many writers are rather shy by nature.
But, don’t let that stop you from closing the deal. Write out a
script and rehearse it. However, don’t recite it word for word,
or it will sound “scripted” when you’re communicating with others.
The more you “pitch“, the easier it becomes to score.

3. Work smarter, not harder.

Do a little background research on the companies you target.
What are their strengths? Who is their customer base? Go even
further. Purchase “lead lists” that specifically identify your
ideal client . For example, a list can be bought according to a
preferred geographic area, income level or business type. Keep
in mind that a strategic approach increases your odds of success
and prevents potential burnout.

4. Understand that there’s a psychology to selling.

Whether you’re peddling widgets or words, it‘s crucial to get
into your potential customer‘s head. What specific needs does
your service or product address? How can you help others to
become more productive or profitable? Assess then deliver.

5. Recognize that timing is everything.

To optimize your efforts, call when it’s likely you won’t be
considered an intrusion or inconvenience. For example, don’t
make contact ten minutes before closing time, or five minutes
after the start of business hours. Always be polite to “gate keepers”.

6. Mentally “suit up”.

Boxer, Muhammad Ali, used to chant “I’m the greatest” before
entering the ring with his opponents. And a similar preparation
is needed before you do battle in business! Preparation might be
repeating positive affirmations, or listening to your favorite
motivational speaker on audio tape, or visualizing your success
first. Preparation helps to cushion the blows of rejection and
equips you to go the distance.

Observe these six timely tips and you’ll discover that cold-
calling can be another effective way to “connect” with customers
and build your business.
