Still not great at this self-promotion thing…

A little thing I made last year for my first novel, Shadow King, which you can find on Amazon. #booktok #authortok

... Read moreSelf-promotion can be challenging, especially for authors. It's essential to create a strong online presence to reach your target audience effectively. Utilizing social media platforms like TikTok, particularly the #booktok and #authortok communities, can significantly enhance your visibility. Consider sharing engaging content related to your book, such as behind-the-scenes insights, character inspirations, and reading snippets to create a connection with potential readers. Additionally, engaging with followers by responding to comments and participating in discussions fosters a sense of community. Collaborating with fellow authors or influencers in your genre could also provide a wider reach and new follower opportunities. Don't forget to include vibrant visuals and compelling calls to action in your posts to capture attention. With consistent effort and creativity, mastering self-promotion can lead to greater success in your author journey.

✋ DON’T do this when getting a promotion at work ✋
I learned this the hard way.... But when you're given a raise or promotion, you should NOT act overly excited or overly surprised. Yes, you want to come off as appreciative of the bonus. However, if you act shocked or immediately say things like "thank you, this is so amazing,"

♟️ CHECK MATE — DAY 8: PROMOTION

The board did not change. The rules did not change. The terrain did not soften. Only you changed. Today, the pawn becomes the Queen. Not because the journey was easy—but because you kept moving forward when retreat would have been simpler. Promotion is not about reward. It is about readiness.
