It was a listen and learn webinar for this first-time author and learn I did. The craft of writing to entertain and educate is fun. To me, the hard part of being an author is the marketing. In my decades of operating economic engines, I learn to know your strengths and weaknesses. Personally maximize your strengths and hire someone to maximize your weakness will help with being successful. Due to so many ways and means of marketing in today's digital world it is hard to tell what is real and what is a scam in internet marketing. I struggle in moving forward with getting my story out in the world due to my lack of knowledge on how to market my book. Thanks to all who spoke at last night's webinar, I enjoyed the knowledge you shared, and I look forward to the next webinar.
"Or else I need to commercialize my kitchen and start selling pecan pies." - I'm up for an HGTV show called "Janisse Ray's: Write & Bake" a show where you talk about the art of writing while you bake something delicious! ;)
Cindy and I were just talking about how to bring more of our personalities back into our newsletters - then we read your article and it seemed like you were talking directly to us!
Yes, I cultivate that writing voice for the newsletter for a few reasons. 1) It's authentically me. 2) I love to connect with people. and 3) I believe it's what we all need in this era of AI and social isolation.
So many great thoughts and tips about infusing our work with emotion. Thank you!
I think I’ll print this one and tack on my wall! Thank you! Is there a recording of the meeting?
Mary, there is a recording. But I haven't processed it. Do you want to hear it?
Yes but at your leisure! You’ve got a million irons in the fire.

Thank you for this contribution. I agree 100 percent. The internet world is full of mistruths & half-truths & untruths, and it can be very confusing.
Thank you so much for the webinar, Janisse. I had to leave before the meeting ended. Lots of great information and discussion, and all useful.
I was so busy getting started that I didn't see everyone who was there. Thank you for coming. And I'll hope to see you next month.
I will do my best to be there!
