How does an #AuthorAssistant celebrate reaching 2k followers on Bluesky? 🤔

It’s obvious - she gives back!

I randomly chose three authors who follow me here and made graphics for their books.

Please check out their books! ⬇️

Suffering from social media burnout?
Still need to promote your book?

Here are three ways to promote a book without social media - with examples!

#AuthorSky #BookSky #AuthorAssistant
Three ways to promote a book without social media. 1. Optimize your online presence. Example: create book metadata that's clear, concise, and current. 2. Be where your readers are. Example: take part in newsletters swaps with other authors. 3. Advertising. Example: utilize free social proof from genuine readers. www.marywyrd.com - Mary Wyrd logo of a golden pen nib with green tentacles. Background image of open books.

You’re an author.
But somehow you’re also a marketer, a designer, and living in your inbox. Then there’s everything else.

Good news!
You don’t have to do everything.

Take back your time with an Author Assistant.

Here's how to find yours: www.marywyrd.com/blog/the-ult...
Do you need an assistant? Tick which apply. Eight phrases with an unticked box next to each. They are: I need time to create/grow. I keep missing deadlines/events. I'm procrastinating tasks. I have too many repetitive tasks. I'm ready to scale my business. I'm making too many mistakes. I keep feeling overwhelmed. I'm financially stable right now. If you've ticked more than four (including the last one) you might need to hire an assistant. www.marywyrd.com - background image of open books.

CURIOSITY is one of the three cornerstones of my business.
> I love to learn
> I'm persistent

When researching, I triple-check the information I find because misinformation is everywhere. And Gen-AI is NOT helping with this.

I also have the greatest research skill 🥳

If you're sharing an image of any kind and you want to reach more people, add alt text.

Alternative text makes your image or art even more accessible, and it doesn't need to take forever to write.

And some folks won't share an image without alt text.

#AuthorSky #AuthorAssistant
How to write alt-text (alternative text) Take a moment to describe the image to yourself. 1. What is it? 2. What’s happening? 3. What are the stand-out details? 4. What does it say? Now, write it out. Keep it simple. Read what you’ve written to make sure your description matches the image. www.marywyrd.com - background image of open books.
