Branding, blogging, and social media is a vital part of today’s writer’s career. Acquiring the techniques to grow our platforms can be daunting. We long to form a solid relationship with our readers, but where do we find them? How do we communicate our desire for a trusting relationship?

That’s why Edie Melson and DiAnn Mills established Mountainside Marketing Conference to train writers how to navigate social media through hands-on exercises.

Mountainside Marketing Conference is January 18-22, 2019 and will be here soon. 

The small group environment is designed to equip the writer with the platforms needed for their success.

Need more information? Monday night, at 7:00 EST, Edie Melson and DiAnn Mills will host a Facebook Live

Edie Melson is offering every writer who registers a 30-minute evaluation of their website, brand, and social media presence before the conference. Email Edie –  Edie@ediemelson.com. She will send you a questionnaire and schedule an online meeting

Take a look at what attendees said about last year’s conference experience:

Wanna write? Gotta market! It’s our industry’s present culture. As one who wants to be a savvy present-day writer/marketer, it only made sense to study that culture. Mountainside Marketing Conference not only gave me a better understanding, but helped me with practical and effective application. Plus, we had fun! Who knew? – Rhonda Rhea, Author | Speaker | TV Host  

My technology skills peaked at programming the VCR! Social media did not come naturally to me, but the experts at Mountainside Marketing Conference provided ample space to try new things, practice, and ask questions. This conference isn’t just about the skills of marketing, it’s also about the heart of marketing. I walked away empowered and encouraged! – Deborah Clack, Award-Winning Author 

Mountainside Marketing Conference was amazingly professional, comprehensive, and … even fun, so inept with technology. However, I mentally balked at the idea of Launch a Book! After all, I’ve had 59 novels and 10 non-fiction books published—so do I really have to “launch” a book? Publishers always did that for me. Now, I’m told I have to do this myself, or at least cooperate with the publishing company. So, besides the great overview of social media, the book launching session taught me what, why, where, when, and how to successfully launch a book. My book is a ship. I’ve christened it at the Mountainside Marketing Conference. Now I’m ready to launch — not expecting all smooth sailing (after all, I wrote a Titanic novel!) — but I do expect to arrive at my destination: God’s port. – Yvonne Lehman, Best-selling Author

The inaugural Mountainside Marketing Conference 2018 not only “showed” me how to get my words out there, but also provided me the tools, the experience, the accountability and the strong group of supporters to carry out the journey of successfully getting my words out there. It was inspirational, educational, emotional, with life lessons thrown in! – Bobbie Frazier, Author
