How to Build an Internet Presence
Dates: April 1st-30th, 2008
Instructor: Kellie Finley
Cost: FREE to FTHRW
members; $20.00 for all others
Registration Deadline: March 27th, 2008
Course Description:
Every serious writer knows they need a presence on the Internet.
That's the easy part. Knowing where, how, and how much of
your time and money to spend in building and maintaining that
presence is the hard part. Every hour given to working with
your Internet presence is an hour taken away from your writing.
That fact alone should make you choose wisely where your time
(and money) will go. In this one month online workshop, we
will take a brief look at the various options for building
your internet presence, starting with your website, moving
on to individual and group blogs, MySpace pages, and online
newsletters (eBulletins).
By the end of this workshop you will have a high level understanding
of the difference between each of these Internet options (websites,
blogs, MySpace pages, newsletters) for communicating information
and communicating an image. You will know which is best suited
for your personality and your readers. You will know what
you want and don't want to include in building your Internet
presence – in other words you will have a plan that will
be a reflection of you and your writing.
This workshop is about communicating and building name recognition
using the Internet. It covers a lot of information, but for
the most part, it isn’t overly heavy or overwhelmingly
technical. It will cause you to think…to wonder…and
to have opinions. At the end of it, you will be ready to move
forward with your Internet presence and the many decisions
required by it.
