If being a writer only meant writing books I would be fine. Sadly, being a writer also means marketing your books and marketing is my kryptonite. I'm shy so the whole "Look at me!" aspect of marketing goes against everything in me. It was also ingrained in me from birth that life is never about me and if by some chance it ever becomes about me, I must change that instantly; calling attention to oneself is prideful and that's wrong. So, I guess you could say I have issues, LOL.
However, I've hidden behind my shyness long enough so I'm dipping my toes into the pool of marketing. I have taken a class on Amazon ads which I think will be useful once I get to play around with them a little more. (Facebook ads have always been a complete bust for me.) Now that I have survived that class I need to learn how to use my Bookbub "partner" account. *sigh*
As a part of my efforts I'm also "rebranding" my self-published books with new and improved covers. I'm really pleased with the new look of my Nerd series short stories. I'm still playing with the "purrfect" redesign for my Paws and Effect series and the clock is ticking since the next entry will release in October.
So, y'all pray for me please. And, if you have any marketing tips to pass on, I'm all ears!
