I have once again forgotten to write a weekly post for Saturday. Trying to keep on a schedule for this blog is something I must keep track of, make it into a habit. I have to be honest that I have been stressing quite a bit these last few weeks. Putting my book into copyright and researching my marketing plan. I’m scared of my marketing plan. Will it be good enough to gain enough peoples' attention to get them to want to read my book? Will people just ignore it? I’m scared. I can research all I want about marketing, but it is such a stressful subject for me that I’ve been kind of distancing myself from it. I’ve been lost in the world of Animal Crossing New Horizon. After work I shower and then go play for a few hours to unwind. Then I try to do some research on marketing and get stressed out, to a point that I move back to the game.
My problem with learning is I need someone to show me. I can research all I want but having a teacher here with me, showing me, teaching me is that way I learn best. And if I have questions, they can answer it.
I hope I can reach out to the writing community who have done this before and pick their brains but each time I think about doing this I get stressed and run to my game or do something else. Burdening them with questions is another thought that runs through my mind. I feel shame every time I run away from something I chose. I chose to be a self publisher. Which means I must do all I can to make the best plan I can.
I now ask if you guys have any tips and tricks on marketing that worked for you please leave them in the comments.
