I do my very best to use my marketing skills to assist my friends. It's easier to give others a push than to push yourself. I think that's a great advantage that Indie authors have. We help ourselves by helping our friends. Like we do on Triberr together. :)<br /><br />Someday...maybe it'll all come back to us. lol!Carmen DeSousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835462755654747169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119615232600399164.post-60697807615215300132015-04-21T07:26:03.599-04:002015-04-21T07:26:03.599-04:00I would love an agent for those very reasons, Carm...I would love an agent for those very reasons, Carmen! I do not have the time to devote to studying how to market more effectively, so what little I have garnered since publishing my first novel has come in fits and spurts. I would far rather spend my time writing, and allow someone else the job of selling for me.

I guess I need to submit a query to find an agent. Sad, that I wrote all that, but I have nothing new to submit, since I'm working on the fifth and sixth books in my two series. lol!Carmen DeSousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835462755654747169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119615232600399164.post-76103424304760544992015-04-19T19:15:03.315-04:002015-04-19T19:15:03.315-04:00LOL, Browyn!

I have no interest in notoriety--which is probably why I hole myself up to write--but I do desire to share my stories with readers. If Nicholas Sparks' agent knocked on my door, I'd sign on the dotted line in a heartbeat. Marketing has become increasingly difficult, and it's harder than ever to get noticed. Believe me, I'm no Nora Roberts--but I do think my books have something to offer to someone. I just need a way to find my audience...<br /><br />Thanks for writing this post. Enjoyed, as always, and will share.Linda Lee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220365594492856382noreply@blogger.com
