  Speaker 1: talk about something every author should be thinking about when

  Speaker 1: the most important thing. How will your work stand out?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: How will your work stand out? To day? Marketing is
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the bridge between creation and connection. It helps you reach
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the idea reader, build lasting relationships, and turn your passion
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: into profit. We all want profit. We all want profit.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But are we doing the things that we need to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: do so that we can get profit? That's the most
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: important thing. Are we doing the things that we need
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to do to get profit? We want profit? But what
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: are we doing without a strategical Without a strategic approach
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to sharing your work, even the most heartfel poetry can

  Speaker 1: go onknose, even the most I'm talking about, the most
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: elaborate whatever, whatever you're writing about. It can be the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: best of the best, but it can go unnoticed. That's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: why consistency and creative marketing is essential for every author.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop some nuggets. We're gonna drop some nuggets.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be before y'all long. I told you, ILL
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: don't come to stay long. I just come to bring it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I come to drop it and keep on going. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: here's three things that you can do every week to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: grow your reach every week. You got to do this
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: every week. Can't do it one week and stop, but
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you got to do it every week until you reach
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: your goal. Until you reach your goal. I'm gonna say,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: do it consistently until you reach your goal. I can't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: tell you when it's gonna work, but just continue to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: do it until you reach your goal. So here's the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: three things. One Number one. Engage on social media. Post poems, quotes,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: writing updates or behind the scenes photos on all your platforms.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Respond to comments, join in discussion. You can't just put
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it out there and leave it. You gotta engage. Importance
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of engaging. We're building relationships, y'all, We're connecting. People want
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to know who you are. They could care less about
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this for real, they're gonna buy it to support you,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: but they want to know who you are. So you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: got to engage in your social media posts. Email list y'all,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: send out a weekly newslater with updates, special promotion, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: sneak peek at your new writing. So how can you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: do that? I've been telling y'all. Go over check out
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: somes that. It is a free platform that allows you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to send out newsletter, it allows you to have a podcast,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it allows you to utilize a lot of things over
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there in one area, and it's free. Collaborate and cross promote,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: partner with other authors, y'all. You're not on this You're
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not on this journey by yourself. We are here to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: support each other. So join book clubs, arrange virtual readings
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to tap into different audience. A lot of y'all are

  Speaker 1: it's yours. You got the look. When you show interest
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in yourself in what you're doing, other people will too.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But if you're not doing anything, why should they do
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: anything to support you? So learn to collaborate and not
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this one sided collaboration that I'm seeing with a lot
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of people. They want you to collaborate with them so
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that they can get something out of the deal, But
• 6:20

  Speaker 1: you're scrolling through being nosy, because that's what a lot
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of us do. We jump on here, we see what
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: everybody is doing while we scrolling through. Before you start
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: seeing what everybody else is doing, take five minutes to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: focus on you. Take five minutes to post a short excerpt,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and then y'all, if to be honest, if you want
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to go, set aside one day. Set aside one day
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and work on creating posts and stuff that you can
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: set up to a timer that you can set up
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and then it would automatically post if you're on Facebook,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if you're on I think Instagram may have it. Don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: know if TikTok have scheduled posts, but if they do,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: y'all take time and set up scheduled posts so that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: they can post even when you not. I know on Facebook,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm on Facebook and a lot of my groups I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: have stuff that is constantly being posted constantly on a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: twenty four hour rotation. Every day something is being posted. Y'all.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We got to learn how to utilize what we got
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: without spending a whole lot because we know everybody out
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: here trying to trying to make a living, and a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people want to take advantage of the people
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that's looking for visibility. They want to charge you to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: be on these speaking platforms. They want to charge you
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: for this, charge you for that, charge you for that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: But when they charging you, are you able to make
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: money back from what they're charging you for? Because everything
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I charge for, you're able to make money back for.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Not going to charge you from something if you cannot
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: make money back from it. So y'all be mindful of
