Blogtober – The Beginning
Here we are October 1st once again, which brings us to the first day of Blogtober. Blogtober takes place every October, when people try and make a blog post every day during the month. I’ve made attempts at Blogtober before and never finished it. I usually fizzle out after the first week or so. But this year, I’m going to make it. It is decided. I have spoken.
This is the year I’m working on being mostly self-sufficient. I just added a storefront to the website, offering ebooks, print books, and audiobooks directly from my website.
Just about right after I started self-publishing, people would ask me, “What’s the best way for me to get your books so you get the most benefit?” I used to reply, “Whichever is most convenient for you.” It was a cop-out response. Some ways were more beneficial than others, but it unusually wasn’t worth trying to go into all the nuance of which at any given time. Now, it’s pretty easy. If you want to get my stuff with considerations of the biggest benefit for me, this is the best place for people to get my books and their preferred format ebook, print book, or audiobook.
With the goal of being completely self-sufficient, I need posts and traffic here to build up SEO. I’ve heard this SEO thing is pretty important. At some point, in my copious moments of free time, I’ll study up on this VERY important SEO thing. Just one more thing I gotta figure out in order to build my reach and get my books in front of more readers so that someday I can stop spending as much time on business stuff and get down to writing more books.
So, here we are at the beginning of a month-long journey to get some attention to my website. Well, as much attention as I can by writing about random stuff here for the next 31 days, and sharing that on all of my social media. What are some things y’all would like me to blog about? I’ll entertain any suggestions. What are you curious about, anything you want me to rant about, of course, I might not write about every suggestion, but with 31 days to fill, odds are good I’ll get to most of them. Or some of them. Unless I come up with something more interesting for me to write. So, whatcha got?
