It’s an extremely informative article. Writers find it most difficult and annoying step of the career when they need to market themselves to the world for the first time.

A really useful article, especially about choice of consistent author name. Those with complicated hyphenated names that are difficult to spell, tend to get forgotten.And those with common names tend to find those domains taken. I used my maiden name muirmoir on Twitter when I was just starting to use social media, because my real name was taken, but that inconsistency has been a mistake. A
little late to change now. Having an author website with your own name for the edess is best, but some online forms won’t accept my name @ my website and I have to revert to the big pond one. Thanx for excellent advice and also the way you have linked these articles on social media.

In reply to Aya Walksfar. When it comes to marketing, I've usually taken what I thought was a straight forward approach. However, Twitter introduces a system that challenges my previous approaches. I find it intimidating but I'm learning!

Good article to reaffirm some of the stuff I’ve already done. Had not heard about the workbook, though. Thanks. I will look into that. Twitter is the most difficult one for me. Still have not figured out how to “find” my readers. (I write murder mysteries, thrillers and literary novels with strong female protagonists). Haven’t figured out how to “join the conversations” either. Oh well, technosaurs have to keep plodding along!

A very helpful article! I must admit that the thought of marketing scares me a lot; I feel I’m not at the stage where I need it so its something I avoid thinking about but this is a good reminder that its never too early to start. Plus its also made me realise that actually, I’ve already taken small steps towards creating a network so I’m further ahead than I think I am. I just need to keep moving!

In reply to Mary Ann Bumbera. Thank you so much Mary Ann. Patience. Perseverance. Tech savviness. Networking. And it is all about finding the people who need and are interested in what we have to say.

In reply to Leanne Dyck. As long as we're still breathing, it's worth doing.

In reply to Carrie Lee Ferguson. I'm glad you liked it Carrie. You're so right that what we build we sometimes can't see until years later.

A very helpful and supportive article indeed! Thank you! I especially enjoy #4.–Today I was thinking that I am building something, though I don’t know exactly what it is yet 🙂 One day we can look back and see how each circumstance, relationship & connection, were a part of moving us closer to our dreams.
