I was at an event yesterday where I didn't expect to sell much of anything. It was at a senior living center in Osprey Florida. these places are notorious in the authors circles for not buying books. The organizer had a select few vendors, jewelry, gifts, cards, and books set up in the lobby. I did surprisingly well. I'll do this event again if asked.

I've also been doing a lot of social media marketing and it's paying off. I spend about an hour or more on my Facebook authors page, LinkedIn, Instagram and X (Twitter) promoting different books. I check my reports every day and it's working. 

I hear authors complain that their books are not selling, but they are not doing anything to make themselves visible. If no one knows about you and your book how can they buy it??? Get your butt out the door and click those keys. Challenge yourself and see what you can do.

I may not be making a lot of money but I'm having fun making friends with other authors, vendors, and organizers.
