Niche Blogs | Postcard Designs | @taintedlove, @mortgagedland

Last month, I wrote about a niche blog, @over60health, talking about SEO planning for the blog and ideas about how I would use postcards for outreach. This month I am back talking about two other niche blogs and the postcard ideas I have for them.

I want to use the postcards as business cards and flyers as I go about my every day, attend events, leave in coffee shops, libraries etc. As a postcard, they have a blank side for messages, and can be sent through the post. It's a technique I've used previously for small scale local promotion. Each one will have a QR code with the url for the blog, as well as the url itself, on the reverse.

@taintedlove

This blog is writing focused, and I'm already facing a dilemma: Should the descriptors be:

  • Spontaneous prose
  • Prose poetry
  • Creative non-fiction or
  • Spontaneous prose
  • Prose poetry
  • Lyric fieldwork

Creative non-fiction is more easily recognised as an encompassing genre, lyric fieldwork is closer to the types of things I tend to write. I guess it depends how niche I want to be. Feedback welcome.

I chose @taintedlove (you might know this version of the song), not to write about romantic love and heartbreak, but as an idea about our relationship with the world.

Here's the ideas for the postcards, let me know what you think:

    What a wonderful concept, and I like the idea of making post cards and such to leave around for super niche marketing.

    I think the best idea is to stick to what you write more of.

    I'd love to hear more about this project.

    Those are some interesting designs but I wonder, does business cards still a thing these days over there?

  • Update: @shanibeer, I paid out 23.964 HIVE and 0.000 HBD to reward 2 comments in this discussion thread.

    This one looks very interesting, it looks enigmatic and it sparks curiosity
