Different authors I know have used different social media mediums to create their fanbase, be it Facebook groups, blogs, Instagram or twitter. Some have created a nice fanbase, and continued to feed it with offers freebies, and real interactions with their fans .
Off Topic, dear Sacha, but The Anatomy of Prose and Workbook just arrived – woot! Have a good week. Stay safe and well, dear friend. Best wishes to you and yours.
Ahhh thank you so much my lovely Lita, I hope you’re well and can’t wait to see you publish, how close are you now?
Doing a massive rewrite, dear Sacha – working on my third draft. Have a better idea about what the novel is trying to say 😉 Stay safe and well!
Great episode!!! I love the term ‘Failing Upwrads’. I think Dakota gives too much credit to luck and not enough to the hard work, commitment and risk taking that obviously infused his path. He just did the work. He didn’t back down. Thanks for the inspiration and the great advice!! Your tips are so genuine and doable.
I agree, Dakota works super hard and he’s achieved so much BECAUSE of his work ethic. Thank you so much for your kind words.
