My teen-age daughter asked for my help recently. Her room was in disarray. I will get called in as the clean-up specialist every six months. I can help her organize her room and create order. It is what authors need when it comes to their messy marketing efforts.
Authors need inspiration, support, and guidance. Their approach to book marketing can be sloppy and haphazard. They need to clean their act up.
Let’s do a Marie Kondo makeover of your book
marketing.
All authors need help in getting started.
Either they feel stuck and blocked and fail to
launch— or they need to take steps to fix where they fall short in their feeble
attempts to market.
Authors need to have a vision. Just like my
daughter needed to visualize how her room could look, a writer needs to map out
and imagine where she needs to go and identify what is needed to get there.
Sometimes, authors just need to take time to
reflect and to get things going in the right direction. Take some time to get
it right.
Reclaim your territory. My daughter had to take
ownership of her room and reclaim it, quadrant by quadrant. She felt a burden
lift as she started to see carpet where clothes, books, and bags had occupied.
Her room was working against her; now it works for her.
Make sure your marketing is functional and
practical. It needs to be organized, prioritized, and easily accessible. You
will not only feel better once you get your act together — but you will feel
empowered and unencumbered.
Go clean up your book marketing now!
