MILI FAY ART COLOURING BOOK 01/MAY 2014 NEWSLETTER

​

MILI FAY ART NEWSLETTER

"Together we support the world one artwork at a time."

I am devastated by the horror stories I keep hearing from my family and friends in Serbia and Bosnia.  The news channels are saying that the destruction caused by rains is worse than the one caused by 1990s war, or NATO bombing.  As far as people know, there has never been such flooding in the Balkans’ region, and the authorities are not prepared to deal with the aftermath.

For this reason, I have decided to donate 1$ from every item purchased at the Wychwood Barns and TIAM Markets this weekend (May 24th/25th).  I have further decided to create a PDF colouring book featuring Mili Fay Art Favourites artwork, and donate any proceeds (minus Gumroad’s fee).  You can purchase the colouring book here for $0+.  I just wish I could do more.

I will write my usual Newsletter in June.

Thank you for understanding.

MILI FAY'S ADVENTURES IN PUBLISHING: Marketing Challenge

Now that my book is published and looking perfect, my greatest struggle is getting it in front of my audience, a.k.a. MARKETING.

I'm all over the Internet, but though I connect with other authors and artists, I'm not reaching the people who want to buy my book.

How do I know who these people are?

I truly believe that everyone would love my book, but not everyone NEEDS my book. To find your audience you need to know who falls in the second category. By going to markets and fairs I have discovered that people who purchase my book have young children in their lives; they are parents, grandparents, teachers...

So, I should be targeting mommy blogs, baby and children's stores, schools... But how do I reach people without coming across as a self-serving creep?

I have no idea.

Thankfully, I have just discovered something called a Book Marketing Challenge. It begins this Monday, May 5th, so if you want to get the FREE Silver Pass and check it out: http://buildabusinesswithyourbook.com/access/aff/go/mili_fay

I have just signed up for Gold Membership so what you see above is my affiliate link.

I honestly hope it helps me out, because doing everything on my own is a tad overwhelming. ;-)

I'll blog about my experience, so if you have any questions let me know.

Cheers!
