T is for Thesaurus

You thought I was going to say Twitter, didn't you? Yes, Twitter is a very good marketing tool for authors and you should certainly look into using it. But there are a lot of posts about Twitter and not so many about a marketer's best friend: a Thesaurus.

A lot of marketing is about having a clever, catchy phrase or keyword. If people can remember you/your book/your event/your whatever, then you have accomplished half your marketing goal.  I'm sure most of you writer types are used to using a thesaurus for your writing, but have you considered it for your marketing?

Do you use a Thesaurus? I have it on a quick link.

Haven't thought about using it for marketing but I do use one when I'm writing.

I LOVE using the thesaurus when writing. I have never thought of using it for marketing, though!

I've been trying to use my thesaurus more often. It is a useful tool. Great choice for the day.

Bonnie Gwyn said...

The thesaurus is my best friend - all of the time. :) Thanks for dropping by my blog!

Joy Fanning said...

Great point! Every writer should own a thesaurus and using it with marking just makes sense.

Daisy Carter said...

I use a thesaurus CONSTANTLY when I'm writing - have never thought to otherwise. Great tip, as always!

I certainly use the Thesaurus for multiple writing tasks--makes me look smart every time.

I use mine from word.

By the way, I talked up your blog makeover recommendations to several bloggers at a conference this weekend. Maybe you'll get an email or two.
