Cannot Do Everything

If you are in the same boat as me, you are working a regular job, trying to find time to write and edit and publish your own books. If I was retired or able to just work at the book gig then it would be different, however often we only have pockets of windows of time to actually do anything.

It isn't easy to juggle everything and there is so much I am finding that is expected even in the marketing aspect of this.

For instance, I am taking a course on blogging that is really not bad on Fiverr.

Oh, what is Fiverr? Fiverr is a Freelance Marketing Place. It started with being about to hire someone to do something for you for five bucks! now it is more just the name and most folks have packages so you can get things like you book placed on different blogs or websites, I got translations done there and some other things. It is a handy place to find professionals who can do all sorts of things for you!

Anyhow, so it seems, there is SOOO much now that can be done with these blogs to make them better and so on. The thing is, I don't have time right now.

And you may not also. From one person I listened to, there are now over 150,000. books on Amazon and more coming every day. That is a great deal of competition! And getting the algorithm to work on Amazon to get views requires reviews. These reviews are supposed to only be done certain ways which is fine however everything takes time!!!!

Currently I am getting ready to move across the country. Even writing this review right now is difficult. I understand completely all you people out there working on doing what you love and making a living. Costs of living is NOT going down!

But hey, maybe more folks will want to get lost in books! lol Want to escape. That is where we come in!

When return to Nova Scotia, I promised myself I would work on getting my murder mystery out there and another started and done. Who knows, the pace of life is much slower than BC, maybe I will!

Remember you are not the only one juggling! So many people are! The only thing I can say is like on that movie Nemo...JUST KEEP SWIMMING! or in this case, just keep doing!!!!

Good luck, I will be off here to get settled. Another adventure!
