pretty good KDP reads. never been that high. but it's also funny because people have said they don't follow indi authors because it's all we do because who else is going to?

I’ve found July to generally be one of the most difficult months, too, historically.

I think most writers tend to be introverted, and marketing is definitely more for the extroverts... I don't want to sell anything I just want to write stuff 😅

Marketing is my weakest point, and I always worry that I’m going to annoy those that do choose to follow me or like my content, with how many similar edits I make of my books, But beyond that, this. We have no choice but to do this stuff, and hope we don’t lose followers or likes because of that. Word of mouth, even if it’s the author’s, is still the best form of marketing. 😅

we just don't have a choice. it's the flip side of the coin of being an author

This! 100% this!
Personally, I don't like constantly yapping and posting about my books, but I have to.
We try to come up with new and different ways of promoting our books, but it's hard.
So, we're left with two choices: talk about our books to help get the word out there. Or don't talk about them, then our books fall into obscurity.

Yes! I hate marketing! I hate making videos and putting myself on camera. But if I don’t post constantly then I get nowhere in sales or KU pages read.

If you didn’t talk about them more than once I wouldn’t know what to read. We scroll so quick sometimes we miss stuff. I’ve seen you eleventy million times and idk what

It’s the one thing I’m worried about once I finish my book because I’ve been contemplating going the indie route rather than traditional… and I have untreated ADHD to contend with 😂
