Do you want to develop an engaged audience for your writing and creative work?
The most effective way to do this has nothing to do with begging for followers, gaming algorithms, or learning the latest marketing trend.
It is about connecting in meaningful ways with real people, while leveraging tools new and old to do so.
If you are looking to develop your author platform, effectively market your writing, launch your book, or establish creative habits, you are in the right place.
I’m Dan Blank, and human-centered marketing is what I am here to help you accomplish. I offer the following programs to help you at every stage of developing and engaging your audience. In each of these programs, you get direct one-on-one feedback and assistance from me. I answer your questions directly, I brainstorm ideas with you, and I ensure you have a clear strategy to reach your goals.

Human-Centered Marketing
Create an outreach plan to find and engage your ideal audience. You will develop a Reader Connection Plan, and use my outreach scripts to get it done.

Create an email newsletter people actually look forward to receiving, a blog that reflects who you are as a writer, and a simple process to manage it all.
