Marketing Magick: Visibility for Introvert Authors

Hey there! Thanks for reading the Metaphysical Author’s Confidential. This newsletter is for fellow mystics who want to write, publish, or market their magical books. I hope you find it useful. Thank you for being a paid subscriber. Your support helps keep the writing lights on.

I’ll be the first to admit it: I prefer to be out of sight. Not as in “groovy” (although I do consider myself to be a pretty hip chick), but as in recluse mode, tucked away in a corner filled with books, stationery, and all the pens! Chocolate? Bonus!

Here’s the deal: I do live like that most of the time.

But if that is my only mode, business does not happen. Because for there to be people interested in my work, I cannot be the best-kept secret in town.

Books rarely sell themselves. After the initial flurry of the pub date, the attention dies down, and many books start to lose their steam. If the author disappears, the book might, too. Only the lucky few can hide in the dark and continue to sell. Sucky? For shy introverts…yes. However, this is business, and being an author is a business.

That means you have to market your work. Remember, much of this promotional work falls on your shoulders. Some visibility is necessary.

So, how do you get visible when you’d rather hide away from the world?

Here are a few ways for shy metaphysical violets to keep their faces out there.
