Once...It is true of every creative endeavor, Tabor. Once upon a time I was interested in getting my paintings and sculptures seen. I quickly realized I was no good at going to galleries to try and sell the work to them. <br /><br />One really cool thing about marketing is it brings a challenge to my life at 71, something new and difficult, at an age where many have settled into patterns. I find it challenging but also kind of exciting and hearing what other writers do astounds and amazes me. Some of them are so successful at this whether that's a cool personality type, a network or just their own insights, I don't know but I admire it when I see it. <br /><br />So while writing has been an ongoing thing in my life, all of my life, marketing is something I always avoided before but now am facing squarely. I know if you wanted to get your photographs out there in galleries, you'd experience the same challenges. It's both upsetting and good if you know what i mean ;).<br /><br />I will add that, in your case, if you wrote a book that suited your blog readers, the kind of book they naturally would choose to read, you'd have a big advantage with a network built-in who wanted you to succeed, who would buy your books as soon as they came out. It was one missing link for me. I had a good readership on Thoughts but they weren't romance readers ;) .

If it was just a matter of persuasion, you could be creative and persistent...but it is also a matter of getting to your possible audience to persuade them. I feel your pain in this.
