Apparently yes. All the advice I seem to get is that "I must have a platform" which is the means of getting myself known by everyone online.
I am told I should be on Twitter and Facebook too. The very thought of this is frightening, but if I do want my book to be read I must do it.
I find it difficult though. I have a website, but find that I do not have the time to update it. I do not need it to advertise for work as I have enough work to keep me going until I retire.
Maybe I will have time then, but I have so much planned for my retirement I doubt it.
How do people find the time to do all this Twit/Face/Blog/Website stuff anyway?
Quote: "But what would one even put on the website?"
I don't know, maybe you should just open one, and start putting simple things like "What I had for my breakfast today"
You are a writer, just justify your existence by telling the online world what a fantastically brilliant writer you are.
I think I will get my website going again starting with lots of photos in an album called "Views from my worksite today"
But what would one even put on the website?
You shouldn't be frightened, it's all fun and it connects you with other people, including other writers.
I know, it takes up a lot of time to update all those sites but in the end it's all worth it.
Thanks for replying.
