How I market my books after a book is published!
Another book in the wilds. I think writing it is the easier part there is idea, writing, editing, cover art, format and publish I had a friend do the cover for me stuff is getting too expensive for me. It’s not like I can drop money on marketing either so tired of the stupid dms and offers. Like not even a day has passed when I was told it doesn’t look visible. Like no shit it is hard to see results that soon after a day shit takes time and more books. I’ve literally figured out that more books mean more sales, so after this one, I just have to work on: Ember’s Gift, Mia’s Gift, Mina’s Vampire Mate, Marina's first book in the Dragon Mate trilogy, and Afterlife.
So here is what I do to promote it all free since I’m broke and can’t afford to hire anyone. Plus that is a waste of money since I’ve got more books to publish. Hell, when I can afford stuff need an editor and beta reader.

Lemon 8 all talking about the book!
I even do excerpts and what inspired me to write it. Raven’s Revenge was about a time I was learning about fake profiles and accidentally becoming a money mule. I linked it to my world and I’ll be making Eliana’s Revenge where I get rid of pesky book marketers. And got a third book planned with more of the script I have of me between me and the scammer. Hell there is a bonus in there and even resources to keep scam victims safe online. For it changed booze to cozy games since I love to play them. And a bar to a coffee shop and took the abusive ex out and make her naive. It’s been tough trying to promote my book since getting nothing but stupid book marketers trying to offer me their bs book review services. Don’t pay for them since they are free. There will be more videos with these assholes and the stupid fake authors asking me about my writing journey as if I’m not talking about it here asking me if it is on Amazon well no shit and if I self-publish when I have it in my bio saying I am. Then weirdos pushing me about where I live and my job. Doing all this with a day job and the dms are so fucking annoying I’m going to just block them and not engage so tired of trying to sleep or working and they keep messaging me. It’s tiring enough promoting my books then these assholes ruin it. I don’t need their help one even claimed they could make me a best selling author. I fucking doubt it.

Tiktok: 13.5k and the ones that dm have less followers then I do like come one social media is free. I’ll do this with every book. I plan on doing more Twitch streams and scheduling it in between my job. I was at a work meeting and it made me realize how bad I wanted to stream more on Twitch and create content for Youtube for both my channels I want to plan regular videos and post more about the writing process. I got more exciting things planned and this is a hard month as is it makes it the 5th year and my moms death anniversary my mom passed away due to cancer so all this stuff is weighing on me. I’ll be writing another post about this so stay tuned.
