While MySpace is widely promoted for musicians, artists and designers, little do we know that MySpace has been a great promotional tool for writers too and it’s fast becoming a popular means of connecting to your favorite novelists and talented authors worldwide.
It’s a known fact that writing in itself is an art. It’s a talent best shared with other people. A good writing encourages imagination. It’s when our mind run wild and free without falling off the boundaries of life. A powerful story can influence the way we think and see ourselves and of course, who could forget the emotions we feel after reading a paperback? It’s priceless.
Granted, most writers prefer writing with a more stable and proper platform such as Wordpress and Typepad, even Blogger. It gives them the proper feel. But if you are planning to launch a book or promote your latest release, would you have the time to boost your page ranks, apply SEO tactics and whatnot to make your blog searchable? I guess not. What you need is a readily available audience with minimal effort from your part. That’s when MySpace becomes handy.
MySpace has a community consisting of thousands upon thousands of people. Everyday, they login, check their accounts and surf through the community. They read other members’ profile and even search for them to heart’s content. On the other hand, writers’ blogs are the most visited by member–and they get referrals too, by the way!
Lastly, a writer with a MySpace account benefits tremendously just by knowing their audience more. He or she has an access to their fans’ pages where they can gather ideas and feel their moods. In other words, interaction between the writer and his fans has become easier.
