Hi Astrid, Somehow the quiz did not work for me because I did not relate to any of the three choices. I noticed that when TikTok went down I was relieved because I kept telling myself I should be on it but I already have my hands full with Substack, Instagram and Facebook. I'm comfortable with these three because I don't force myself to post a lot and I have great relationships. I would like to be on Pinterest but I used to be on it and have forgotten how plus I'm loathe to take on another platform. I would hire a VA but so far have not had good luck with VAs. I still have a profile on LinkedIn and would like to do more with that before my book launch as my college alma mater is on there. Thanks for pointed us in a calm enjoyable approach!
Thank you for your comment Lora—the quiz is necessarily indeed limited, so I understand you didn’t see options that worked for you. And, it seems like you have a pretty good, intentional approach to your marketing. Does it feel as aligned as it sounds?
I think for book marketing the activities are pretty spelled out but the advice is all over the map so that leads me to listen to many people and tune in to what resonates. Your approach is helping me to see that I don't need to do everything. I'm tuning into my "higher self" to find answers and priorities and feeling less stressed but still energized and focused which I feel is needed for such a targeted goal as book launch. Thanks for asking! If anyone enjoys art my substack is artblotterplus.substack.com.
I know all too well the urge to listen to all the advice and then feel a little lost. You indeed don’t have to do everything—you can make choices that feel aligned, intentional and even easeful. Following that inner compass, or ‘higher self’, is the best way to stay rooted and grounded. 🧭
This is a really refreshing way to reframe marketing that I will indeed explore more in my journal. Thank you, even being invited to think about it this way already makes me feel better!
