Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday to you!
Today is all about Selling books to my local community. This is the first time I’ve exposed my books as a “bookseller” to the 1400 homes in the community I live in. Plus, I’ll have my new 6-foot tall banner up—will it grab shoppers’ attention? It’s the November Arts Faire.
This week, I kicked off my final Amazon Bestseller Campaign four-week workshop. Wow—did it move fast. I loved the smaller classes when I can truly dive into each participant’s needs with the topic we were working on—hashtags and keywords… and grabbing their ideal ones—emailing them to the next. Last night, my street (80 of us on it), gathered for a monthly potluck at my home. Always fun—food such a variety—and dishes—nominal. I likely.
It’s Caturday … Fall time is at the heart of bookselling. What’s on your calendar? I’ve got three more dates PLUS offering my newly revised How to Create Crowdfunding Success as a free eBook this month. It will be for a full five days beginning November 17. What are you doing to sell your books … to even pre-sell your book?
That’s me for this Saturday—it’s a book-selling day at the annual fall arts fair in my community. Fingers crossed—lots of books will be sold! … How about you?… What are you up to? …
Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM.
