I'm usually pretty complacent about my health issues but, in wanting to go out and market myself and my books, right now it is such an obstacle and that annoys me no end. I'd love to be going into schools, daycares and libraries to do readings to little ones, but I can't guarantee how I'll be feeling in an hour or so, let alone make plans for a few days or weeks ahead. It would be awful to schedule something, and then I'm having tachycardia or A-Fib, or my blood pressure is way high and not responding quickly to extra meds, and then to have to cancel and let people down. So,what can be done?
Well, some people do lives on Facebook, but I've always hated being on camera, so I've had to be a bit sneaky. I've been recording myself reading my writings, and putting them on youtube with an illustration pertaining to the content. That way people can listen to me and my creations, without me having to be on camera.
I'm also asking folks who've read my books and poetry if they'd write reviews for me, and then I'm sharing those.
I took a chance and boosted a post on Facebook, with a targeted audience of parents of young children, so I'm now waiting to see if that will help me get my books out to more people.
Finally, I'm asking friends and followers on social media to share my posts so that I reach folks that I don't know personally, or who aren't my followers on social media.
We shall see how this progresses.
