Third Writers' Platform-Building Campaign

There are so many of us out there. Aspiring authors, bloggers (whether established or beginning), industry peeps, even published authors, all of whom want to build their online platforms. We write insightful posts and articles, actively blog within the blogosphere, take part in challenges, competitions, and contests galore.

We have the passion and the drive to make it, but…we could all do with a bit of support.

So I started thinking. What if we link all these people together? What if we create a way to meet people in a similar position, people who genuinely want to help build our online platform while at the same time building theirs? People who want to pay it forward in the spirit of writerly writerness and blogging beautificity (and see it come back to them in turn).

And so, my Writers’ Platform-Building Campaign was born.

What is the Campaign?

Basically, the Campaign is a way to link those of us in the writing community together with the aim of helping to build our online platforms. The Campaigners are all bloggers in a similar position, who genuinely want to pay it forward, make connections and friends within the writing community, and help build each others' online platforms while at the same time building theirs.

I originally referred to my Writers' Platform-Building Campaigns as "Crusades", but I've recently changed that name for reasons including this one. So we'll be referring to ourselves as Campaigners rather than Crusaders from now on (and I hope you can all get behind the new name as strongly as you did behind the original one).

In 2010 we had 55 people take part, many of whom have become great blogging friends. We saw our followers skyrocket and the comments on our posts increase, and had fun taking part in the Challenges as well (kartofflepuffer anyone???).

In February 2011, we had 217 people take part before I closed the List, and many more who wanted to join. I made so many wonderful friends, and heard of some awesome connections and friendships being made between other writers. The new Group concept worked very well, and we saw Group interviews, get-to-know-you sessions, a Choose Your Own Adventure bloghop, among other things. The Challenges were again heaps of fun - I think we'll all remember the goldfish bowl flash fiction for a long time! And the Show Not Tell Challenge in April (linked with Arlee Bird's A-Z Challenge) was a ball of fun too!

I can't wait to see what fun comes out of this Third Campaign!

As the Campaign kicks off, you'll have the names and blog addresses of the Campaigners on my List of Campaigners page (above), so you can keep in touch with the other Campaigners. That way you’ll have a list of bloggers in the same position as you, who genuinely want to help you succeed. And you'll be able to meet those who have the most in common with you. You can visit their blogs and other places they haunt, follow along, leave comments galore, and share your highs and lows as you journey through the blogosphere and build your online platform. And they'll be doing the same for you.

Length of the Campaign

This Campaign will run from August 22nd to October 31st. I'll be closing the List of Campaigners on August 31st, so join up before then if you want to come on board!

Organized Campaign Events

During the Campaign, I'll be running Campaigner Challenges and the Campaigner Notice-Board. Other than that, go for your life! I've set up a Campaigner Yahoo Group here, for you to chat among yourselves, and there'll be lots of Twitter-talk at #writecampaign.

Mark these dates in your diary now:
  1. First Campaigner Challenge - Monday, September 5
  2. Second Campaigner Challenge - Thursday, September 22
  3. Third Campaigner Challenge - Monday, October 17
Each Friday I'll be running a Campaigner Notice-Board, where you can announce blogfests, book launches, things you'd like to share with your other Campaigners, etc etc. You'll need to send me the information in advance, and I've made up a form to make things easier. If you want me to include your details in this Friday's post (August 26), please fill out this form.

How to join?

If you’d like to join the Third Campaign, here’s what you’ll need to do:
  1. follow me if you haven't already, so you can check out the Campaigner Notice-Board on Fridays and take part in Campaigner Challenges 
  2. comment on this post, to let the other Campaigners know you’ll be coming on board
  3. blog about the Campaign to help spread the word (include a link to this post and encourage your followers to join)
  4. tweet about the Campaign if you're on Twitter, and include a link to this post. Follow me here if you wish
  5. pop a link to this post on Facebook (if you’re a Facebook fan) and/or on Google Plus if that's your favorite haunt. Or anywhere else you hang out, it's up to you. My links to Facebook, Google Plus, and LinkedIn are on my sidebar if you want to find me there
  6. and fill out this form.
Thanks to JYS at A Writerly Pensheep
for designing this - you're awesome!
Once you’ve joined the Campaign:
  1. Go to my List of Campaigners page and put your name down for a Campaigner Group (or more than one if you want to get to know more people)  
  2. pop round and introduce yourself to all the Campaigners in your Campaigner Group. If you wish, pop round to some or all of the other Campaigners and introduce yourself as well
  3. follow the Campaigners in your Campaigner Group(s) (and others if you wish). Due to the size of the Campaign, there's no need to follow all Campaigners!!!
  4. put this Campaign badge on your sidebar and link it back to my Writers' Platform-Building Campaign page. Don't forget to take down the old "I'm a Crusader" Badge
  5. keep an eye out for posts/comments/tweets by other Campaigners (and particularly those in your Campaigner Group) and do your best to comment on as many as you can, as often as you can. Also consider following your fellow Campaigners on Twitter and liking them on Facebook, mentioning their blog posts and re-tweeting their tweets, and otherwise supporting them
  6. get to know your fellow Campaigners at #writecampaign and/or at the Campaigner Yahoo Group
  7. see what fun you can come up with in your Campaigner Groups
  8. join in my Campaigner Challenges if you wish. They're a great way to get to know the other Campaigners and have fun at the same time.
I can't wait to have you on board!

I would like to join in this round...I'm writing a YA fantasy at the moment.

Simon Kewin said...

I'm in. Really looking forward to it. Oh, and I'm delighted the name has changed : I must admit, calling it a "crusade" put me off in the past.

J.C. Martin said...

I was really looking forward to this, but after coming back from two weeks off, I've got a huge backlog of work, writing and otherwise, plus I'm helping run the Rule of 3 Blogfest, and I'm sprucing up my manuscript to submit to an agent who's interested in seeing it. So, *le sigh* I'll have to give this a miss. :'( Looking forward to the next one, though.

If you need help in any way, feel free to let me know!

T.B. McKenzie said...

this looks great. i've had a blog for a year now but i seem to have stagnated my follower pickup. hopefully this will help.

Rachael Harrie said...

Wow, look at you all go!!! Welcome on board everyone :)

A couple of answers for you:

@RacersMommy - there isn't a special needs' group, unfortunately. But if anyone else would like to be in one, please email me and I'll create it.

@Julie - the first two Groups were supposed to be for picture books (and there's still room in the second group). I suspect non-PB writers have signed up in them though, so I'll create a PB only genre Group for PB writers to use.

The List of Campaigners lasts until August 31st, so heaps of time to join yet :D

Hugs,

Rach

Does anyone know if you're supposed to get a confirmation email after you sign up? I'm a bit worried that I might have done something wrong. Thanks!

carrieannebrownian...I've written a couple of historical books, one set in the early 1860s (pre-Civil War), and another in the early 1900s. The series I'm currently working on will have flashbacks to the 1920's.

Kate said...

What a wonderful idea, especially for those of us new to blogging. I'm sure I'm not the only one hungry for some community, and for some blog traffic - not for the "fame" but to have like-minded, interested people to share ideas with. Thanks, Rachael! You are now a link on my blog!

Rachael Harrie said...

@Kristy K James - no confirmation sorry (I'm doing this all manually). But email me if you want anything changed.

Hugs,

Rach

Kristy K. James said...

Rachael...that's okay. I don't want anything changed. It's just that having never done this before, I wasn't sure I got everything right. Now I'll breathe a sigh of relief, and look forward to working with you. :)

This is our first campaign, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

@carrieannebrownian I guess it depends on what you consider historical. I'm working on a retelling of the Medusa myth, so if you consider that historical fiction then yes, but if you don't then no.

I'm in. I'm in the process of setting up a new blog that I was hoping to turn into my author platform and just found this today. So thank you, you totally rock for organizing this.

I write SFF and other spec fic sort of stuff.

I'm curious about this and wonder if there are more people out there who have trouble finishing their stories and start a new one with every NaNo :)
