I am NOT, I repeat, NOT a computer nerd. I have great respect for computer nerds, and despite the use of the sometimes-pejorative word "nerd," I am in complete awe of them. I can turn a computer on, figure out how to post to my blog (obviously), update facebook, just barely manage to update my website, and stuff like that. But when it comes to promoting myself as an author online, I am way out of the loop.
So when I see these other blogs with the RSS feed symbol (I don't even really know what that is), I feel very intimidated. I know that being an author is 10% writing a book and 90% marketing. Nowadays, that means internet marketing. Sure, having a blog is important and helpful. But the hundreds and hundreds of hits I have on my blog every month are not indicated in the fewer followers I actually have. And I do wish I could set up one of those little buttons where people could share my blog posts on Facebook or Twitter, but that is so confusing to me. I know I need help. I am not afraid to ask for it.
So that's why I have enlisted the help of my publisher. In the coming weeks, you will see some exciting new things for the technology portion of my writing career . . . and I will announce them right here. Stay tuned!!
