UP to the DL: Blog Tours & Marketing Services

UP to the DL: Blog Tours & Marketing Services | You Call It Obsession & Obscure; I Call It Research & Important | Scoop.it

U.P. to the D.L. is the dynamic duo of Deanna Dahlsad & Laura Brown, two wordy grrls who met 10 years ago as columnists at (the now defunct) Backwash.com.

Of course, both had been writing and promoting online (and off) long before that time, so the slow demise of one site didn’t keep them from continuing to do what they do — or being friends. *wink*

Our latest joint projects are Inherited Values and Ululating Undulating Ungulate. (If you visit the sites and are interested in joining us there, please check out the “about” pages!)

Because of our years of experience in the Internet trenches, we’ve long been individually helping other writers, bloggers, artists, sellers, and entrepreneurs start-up or increase their online presence; now we’ve joined forces, offering you our firsthand knowledge and experience.

We offer specialized services, such as:

Blog Tours
Marketing Consultation
Website Reviews
Individualized & Customized Services Upon Request
Bloggers, you have brands too, so any of these services can be tailored to suit you!

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

In this article I discuss the inaccuracies & misunderstandings in prematurley pronouncing blogs "dead". In fact, that claim is soooo 2004. Which alone proves it's not true ;)

Amen, Deanna!

The concept of individuals creating their own content will endure, platforms may come and go but the essence of origianal content is fundamental to the future of the internet and society as a whole.

Writer's Block Is More Than The Fear Of White Paper (Or Screen) - Word Grrls | You Call It Obsession & Obscure; I Call It Research & Important | Scoop.it

One of the things I now find myself doing in my consulting work is providing clients with a Writing Prompt Service. It was born, like any good service, from client needs. In working with my clients, it quickly became clear that whatever their reason for having a website or blog, writers, bloggers, marketers, etc. all struggle with coming up with fresh ideas to write about.
