Best of the Web 2008. Congratulations.
I downloaded this .pdf document from Penguin Group USA that tells poets how to do Internet marketing. Haven’t read it yet. I’ve skimmed it a little and from what I’ve seen there appears to be a basic understanding of the subject, but incomplete. It’s free and I do recommend it. I’ll try to read through it more in depthly and provide some insight into the accuracy of its contents.
Robert Lee Brewer asked whether there is a market for a book on critique groups. He’s asking for feedback. I gave mine along with several others. I encourage you to drop by his blog and leave your comments, or you can leave them here on the World Class Poetry Blog and I’ll pass them along.

Interesting that poets are now using blogs to communicate and share their work.
I love the format offered by a wiki – where a whole collection can be hosted, comments can be added to the page/poem and live collections are added to hot off the press if you like.
Sharing the collections involves online marketing I guess, but at least it means that the poets work is out there and available for people to read.
Here is one example of using the wiki format:

Poets defintely need to explore the social media realm. Writers, journalists, everyone. There is just so much exposure and so many different ways you can connect to your audience or potential audience. I agree with Andrew above.
