Since I know practically zilch about marketing, I finally broke down and hired people to do it for me. It ain't cheap. Oh, no, no, no. But I did a radio interview, and it must have had some impact, because this marketing firm reached out to me. At first I thought it was a scam, but then a little voice inside my head (I got lots of 'em) said "why not give it a go?" So they're making up a press kit for me. Next week I do a video interview, complete with makeup artist and all. Then after that, a couple more interviews. And after that, assuming all goes well, I'll have speaking engagements.
Though I'd love to be an "overnight sensation" I know it won't happen that way. It might be a year, it might be years. But I do sort of feel like I'm on my way. We'll just have to see, 'cause only time will tell. Stay tuned.
