Professionalism, Flip Flops, a Warped Sense of Humor.
While feeding the drama queens this morning (yeah, my hens and don’t get me started), marketing my books weighed heavy in my thoughts. Yes, I’ve watch videos on marketing and other authors approaches to promoting books and themselves or their brand. I am by no means an expert and for that matter I really dislike the sound of my own voice and face appearing in pictures and videos but I understand that is part of it. Most material hammered home about being professional. I think the best approach is being authentic and relatable.
I won’t show up to an event in a tube top and flip flops (I’ll keep the flops in my bag until after an event) but I will bring a real smile and laugher, a genuine interest in the person in front of me giving my full attention to them as they chose to share their time with me.
Here is the disclaimer: I have been accused of having a slightly warped sense of humor
