Friday is here and a good thing too. I am heading to Galveston to participate in the Galveston Book Fair. The fair is from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM tomorrow. I am driving, and it is a 41/2 hour trip by car, so I need to go up the night before. I have been anticipating this festival in that I have decided to take a local approach to helping spread the word on my books. I plan on two others for this year, and then I will make a decision if I need to continue or go in a different direction.
Like you, marketing my books has been one of the hardest things about being an Indie author. Intellectually I know they won’t sell themselves so outreach tactics are necessary. I still haven’t found the magic bullet for success but will keep trying.
Today’s JohnKu talks about finding the formula for success. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Success by John W. Howell © 2018
We all want success,
Although the way may be hard . . .
Quitting’s no option.
Your JohnKu made me think of The Grateful Dead, “Keep truckin’, like the do-dah man…” Wishing safe travels and lots of laughter. 🙂
