A Writer's Brand ... Or Not

[ysabetwordsmith]

 This fascinating post talks about whether or not a writer is a brand, especially in terms of promotion on social networks.

I am not a brand.  I am ... a yardsale, a museum gift store, a giveaway, and occasionally a bottle shop.  I therefore tend to attract people who like those ways of acquiring goodies.  I'm probably not as appealing to people who like six-pack entertainment that offers the same thing over and over.  But I try to do a thorough job of telling you what kinds  of things you're likely to get from me, and keeping you amused when I'm not currently trying to sell you something, because yeah, buy-buy-buy is boring.

I am probably a yardsale, but am trying to give it a brand-y gloss. :)

Yeah, there's something to be said for the equivalent of stapling your flyers on lightposts and such.
