I’m happy to hear you had a successful launch, Carrie! Don’t let it stop there. You want to promote your book as long as it’s available for purchase and newsletter swaps can be a part of it. (And they can be fun!)

I am excited about the newsletter ideas. I am happy with my book launch. It exceeded my goals and expectations, but I want to continue to share findings with my followers. Newsletters will be the perfect idea.

Thanks,
Carrie

You’re so welcome, Alitta. I loved that tip about starting small with something you’re already motivated to accomplish, too. It helps make this doable, for sure. Good luck!

Waking up tonthis email, after a minot rejection from a business promposition has motivated my spirits. I do feel pressure for this year to get thingd done. Im a new author on the come up. There is alot to get done and it feels at times that Im over my head. But reading this new perspective about habits and starting small is refreshing. Sandra thanks for this one.

In reply to C.L. Charlesworth. Ah, C.L., I totally get it. It's a very dense forest. Pick one tactic you think will work, learn how to do it well, and give it a shot. Track your results. If it seems to move the needle, stay with it and master it before adding another one. Sandy

I love this feedback and your plan, Sonia, but honestly, your idea of a reward doesn’t match mine! You’ve got a great plan, too. Congratulations!

It’s like a landmine. I feel as if I’m the only one in the world who facing this huge monsoon. I love writing and have been getting excellent reviews , but I need to do more and more. The strategy I’ve been working on is to start small with an intentional knife cutting through the think forest of marketing and promotion.

Excellent advice! I have felt overwhelmed by book marketing because I try to do too much, follow too many people and attend too many webinars. This sensory overload has caused analysis paralysis.

My strategy this year is to have a short list of tasks and do one or two each day, as you say in your post. Anything else that gets done is gravy.

My priority for 2020 is book publicity and my daily habit will be building a killer media list using the relevant publications that cover divorce and appear on my daily Google and Talkwaker alerts.

I am rewarding myself by watching French Netflix shows on the treadmill after completing my daily goal. That way I get in shape, relax my mind and improve my French. Win-win-win!
