As the old saying goes… You can follow me too, all over the ding dang internet. And this isn’t everything. I’m trying to gather myself up and take inventory of what’s still out there. I was met with a surprise when “Amythyst Raine” brought up a lady offering readings on Facebook, not me, but I didn’t report the page. I also discovered a couple pirating websites where you could get “free” downloads of my books and a thousand more books, totally illegal. I use to report these to my publisher, but there’s just way too many out there, can’t keep up. I’ll probably be adding to this list as I find more pages and platforms that I’ve totally forgotten about. I should have done this a long time ago.
I’ve also deleted websites, blogs, or a promotional page from Bravenet (boy, was this old, back in the day); Typepad; Wix; two other sites at Yola; Simple Site; Webs (this is where the original Witch’s Corner was birthed); Website Builder; Spruz; Zazzle (where I created all kinds of products under The Witch’s Corner logo).
Do you have an online business? Are you trying to promote yourself online? This is such a tricky thing to do these days, so much has changed since the early internet days. Being a witchy pagan person trying to promote The Witch’s Corner, my tarot readings, and later on my books, I use to join every Ning network connected with paganism and tarot. Those were back in the days when Ning networks could be set up for free, and there was a plethora of sites to join with active people in those sites. All that has changed. So many of the pagan/tarot networks that are available out there now are really touchy about self-promotion, and they usually have all kinds of rules to read through before you join. In all honesty, what do they think a lot of pagans are joining those sites for, if not for a platform to promote themselves, their website, their services, and their merchandise? And unfortunately, I’ve recently ran into a number of social sites for pagans that were dead in the water with no activity at all.
My plan for shameless internet promotion, without spending any money mind you, is to set up as many pages about me, my websites, my books, and my tarot readings as I can through hosting companies that allow limited sized sites for FREE. (If you really like a web-host and would like to expand your site, you can always upgrade later). The following are links to “Landing Pages” that I’ve set up with the following companies, totally free:
I have to say, even though I created two landing pages with SimpleSite, it is my least favorite to work with. The tools are clumsy, and I don’t think I’d want to set up a full-blown website with this company.
I’m sure there must be more companies out there, but these are some that I’ve found and used to establish Landing Pages. If anyone reading this knows of other sites, please let us know and leave a link in the comments below.
I am so excited about this newsletter. I finally got my shyte together with this project and in the process even went back and updated January’s debut issue, adding several things that were left out and needed to be included, so you might want to revisit this page. I’ve also set it up visually, musically, color-wise, and with a decent almost magazine page feel about it for the format. I feel comfortable now with the background, the color scheme, the greenery and waterfalls, and smiling Buddha.
I’m pleased as punch to send off (early) February’s edition, and here’s an excerpt from the introduction:
This month let’s look at the energy for February and what we could be, should be, working on right now for manifestation that will enrich our lives. You’ll also find a spell for the Gray Witch dealing with removing hexes, cleansing afterwards, and making sure the perpetrator gets the message. You’ll find a video of ambient high-frequency music provided for your listening pleasure as you browse this newsletter. Also, I’m going to be taping a new monthly video created just for this newsletter that will be informal, informative, cover a multitude of goddess knows what topics, and sometimes it might even get personal. Of course, there will be lots of other gems and nuggets ~ Read on! And please feel free to pass this newsletter on to a friend.
I updated the “Links” page at my website “The Witch’s Corner”. I didn’t realize that I had so many links! These links are from websites, blogs, and a host of other sites on the internet. I’m trying to get them all posted in one spot for easy reference. I’m not sure I have them all yet, but I’ll keep looking. 🙂
The music on this page is Joanie Madden (“The Black Rose”), enjoy.
