| Indie Author Guide: Marketing as Connection
March 8, 2020
So,
the first thing to know about running a blog as an indie author? Don't
abandon it. I'm actually resurrecting this blog after an unplanned
18-month hiatus.
As
an indie author, I know writing the books has to be my first priority.
But, I'm having to rethink making marketing my last priority because
even though I'm thoroughly enjoying the writing the books and even the
recording and producing the audiobooks (!), it would be nice to have
some other folks, like you, enjoy the books, too.
And,
I'm coming to recognize, however reluctantly, that marketing is how I
get connected to all of you, readers who might really have fun finding
out about all people who live in my head. And especially about Casper,
the Midwestern college town that also serves as a cosmic crossroads and
the primary setting for the Mystic Match Mysteries.
If you're actually here because you've already read or listened to the book...even reviewed it, you have my eternal thanks!!
I've
spent this weekend doing some of the business parts of the indie author
gig: prepping my business taxes, reading another book on book
marketing, fixing up a refresh for this blog, and starting a YouTube
channel.
Wish me luck! I promise it won't be 18 months between now and my next update.
