Self Published Author with a few tips

-
hello guys I wanted to talk about my book Bloopy. It is so hard to sell books let alone have people come to your site. I have tried many things, most have failed. I decided to tell future authors what I am doing and what I am not. I have no degree in writing, this is just a dream. Can I make this dream come true? I am giving myself one year, I am also a store manager, but writing is my dream. I dream of young children reading my books all around the world.

  Let me  say Agents are hard to find. No luck there. I am my own agent. I have learned that when you are self published the big publishing houses want you to sell about 10,000 copies, that is a lot when you are new and your name is just regular.

 Some of the first things I learned was to find your target audience, only you know the group you are trying to appeal to. my group happens to be children and mothers.

I also found a lot of reasonable sights that help you promote your book for under 100

the first company is whiz buzz books.

Another problem I am having is librarians calling me back. ummm I have decided to show up in person and see how that go. I went to Camden library no word yet I will keep you guys posted.

You guys will need some kind of marketing.. Facebook, Instagram YouTube and more. I am going to try Instagram and see what exposure I get, I will tell you guys in two weeks

I decided to come back on blogger and tell my followers about this journey. I have been really busy. Running a business is stressful, but it’s invigorating at the same time.  I work about 60 or 70 hours a week and love it. I am the boss, I decide the goals and I go get ‘em. Sometimes I fail sometimes I don’t.  I don’t stop.    Sometimes I have no customers. Other times wish I had help. This is the entrepreneur journey, no fluff straight with no chaser.     No money no credit, no help. We still opened. What do I mean by de-clutter? Let the past go. If you had parents who have failed you, forgive and let go. If people in your circle said you would be nothing, use that take all your anger all your fear and use it for your dreams. If you feel alone, remember God is with you.     Get serious about you and your l

 I was the only one who had some, Faith that is. I had no mother to get wisdom from, I had no friends to depend on never knew my father till I was thirty so I took my chances. Writing was hard, I had no writing degree what was I thinking? their must be thousands of talented writers waiting for the shot I  needed.    I didn't come from a family of means, Quite the opposite. In my pain I found peace writing was my only escape. I started writing to live the life I couldn't. I was jealous of anyone who had family. Don't get me wrong I had my Grandma, but she was not my mother. There isn't a substitute. I was jealous of anyone who  lived  better than me. One day I picked up a pen I had an overwhelming urge that I could be a writer,     We work hard at jobs we hate, We Gossip about people who have more, one year later where are you? still  complaining about the boss you hate. Still in that relationship that's going nowhere.      This is just a few tips that I have lea
