3 - Become familiar with KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) and/or Ingram Spark platforms where your books will come to life and be made available for your audience.
4 - Social media is not the bane of your existence. It is a way of putting yourself ‘out there’, introducing yourself to the reading world and building your followers. Think of it as a growth tool that will help you develop your business. Choose one – Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tik Tok, and learn to use it in a manner that will grow your contact base.
5 - Learn to research on the web. This is not difficult to do – with a little determination and practice you will become very proficient at doing online searches to learn more about your subject, your craft and even take online classes in almost any field you wish. The web is your friend – it is not your enemy.
There are so many things you can do using technology, ranging from emails to shared documents to video posting to recording and transcribing. All of these can and will make your business more professional and will give you time for writing and moving forward once you’ve managed the first step – getting started. You can do it. Make up your mind that “I can’t!” is no longer in your vocabulary. You can – you really can.
You have been given the greatest tech tools in all of history - your brain! Your brain is everything you need to learn, so apply it to learning and conquering technology. Because of that, you have every capacity, every ability, and all of the potential to master WHATEVER you decide to master – the decision is yours. IF you will learn to love the learning curve you will make this experience a lot more enjoyable. Soon, you will look back and wonder, “What was the big deal?”
