Authors Can Market Books At Any Age!.

 

Some authors wonder if they are too old to learn new tricks, especially those of the technological persuasion. Well, one mature lady squashed such talk and started blogging at age 99. She kept at it for a decade until she died recently at age 109.   

Dagny Carlsson died recently in Sweden. She had showed the world that it is never too late for anyone to start living and thinking positively – and to take action to get your voice heard.  

“I’m proud of the truth in the proverb that you’re never too old to learn,” she once blogged. “That is, if you really want it.” So true!  

That is right, there is hope for you, whether you are 69 or 99. Age does not have to be a limit to the author who wants to market their books. Sure, most would lose a sprint against someone half their age, but the rules to book marketing provide a fair playing field.  

Nothing stops anyone but fear, skill, and goals. But if you have goals, you understand which skills and resources are needed to achieve them. You take a course. You get a coach or consultant. You ask for help and support. You experiment. You try. You show up. Once you have goals and some skills, fears wash away.   

The truth is you have nothing to lose in learning and trying new things. But you have everything to gain.  

I am pleased to report that I have been working with many authors in their late 60s, 70s, and 80s. They are eager to learn, confront new challenges, and go where they have not gone before.

Now, of course not everyone will be good at what they try or they may be a lot better at other things. That is okay. Try and see rather than dismiss and avoid.  

All of book marketing comes down to three things: 

Initiating action and getting out of your inertia.

Taking an opportunistic mindset.

Pressing, literally, the right buttons. 

Celebrating a birthday soon? Don’t let the number become a self-imposed prison sentence. Get off your wrinkly, old butt and take on something new, and as a result, empower yourself to take ownership of your book’s fate.
