I actually enjoy marketing...I think it's easier to enjoy when we look at it as relationship building, as simply telling our "story" to the point that people want to be a part of that story...which, in the writing realm, means they'll buy our book and talk about it with others! <br /><br />To anyone dreading the whole marketing thing, I have to recommend any class taught by Jim Rubart! He makes the whole idea of marketing fun. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620457068731162013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704686109057239241.post-54064419623971056892012-10-03T07:22:46.885-07:002012-10-03T07:22:46.885-07:00Awesome that you sold so many books recently!

Enjoy the moment.<br /><br />At my first book event, I had to talk about my book, read a chapter, then sign books. I was so nervous, but then I looked at the faces in the crowd and saw family sitting next to friends...and all were smiling. That helped. <br /><br />Good luck and God is with you. :DRuth Douthitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210433378863401466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704686109057239241.post-37246399450720709072012-10-03T04:08:30.665-07:002012-10-03T04:08:30.665-07:00Your post came at the right time.

"What if this is a waste of time?" <br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement.Janice Lane Palkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816658667113715293noreply@blogger.com
