Marketing and Advertising

Greetings,

I have only been writing for one year. I didn't have any time before. It was a passion, and I'm glad that I persevered. 

I didn't know when I started this journey that I would become an Indie writer. I create everything myself, including the illustrations. 

I have only spent my time, but time enjoyed, using my imagination. I enjoy the writing.

I enter competitions to compare my style with others based on the same weekly prompt, get feedback, and read other authors. 

My only reluctance is marketing and advertising. I have studied articles, asked so many questions. Received, in fact bombarded with so many SME's that guarantee everything, but the most important thing. When you ask them for guaranteed sales, on even commission on book sales, there is a long pause on the line.

I might commence a campaign thru Amazon advertising myself, I have all the independent guidelines, experiment seems to be the word I take most from the numerous tips and articles.

I just enjoy the writing and using my imagination. Creating illustrations, I also enjoy, all the creative stuff. I like the editing, the polishing, continuously improving and learning.

It might get to the point, that I will not publish. The writing is the most important.
