The single biggest mistake, I think, is giving up too soon.
Freedom is not from the outside. It's of the inside.
How much power is there in a thousand noisy engines? I tell you, there is more power in a single blade of grass.
Do what is right, and the reward will be immediate and multitudinous. Think what is right, and your authority will grow.
The best use anyone can make of any day is to enjoy it - and then spread that joy to others.
Giving back or giving forward is the one true law of marketing.
Not everything that counts can be counted. You can count sales. You can count fans and followers. You can count pins and tweets. But you can't count passion. You can't count commitment. You can't count engagement. You can't count relationships.
Do something every day to market each of your books for three years.
You can sell a lot more books if you work with other authors than if you try to do everything all by yourself.
For the multifold secret to work only one thing is necessary. You must take action. You must give. You must share. You must act with abandon. Send out waves of love and kindness into the world and then simply wait for the response. Or, better yet, continue to send out more waves. Why wait? The response will come. Keep sending waves and enjoy the reaction.
All of marketing consists in creating relationships. Real relationships: friends, lovers, partners, warriors, fans.
Don't sell yourself short. No one will value you. Set a fair price for you, your book, your services, whatever it is that you have to offer. Most of us set way too low a price. Put it a little higher than you would normally be inclined to do. The worst that can happen is someone will come along and steal it.
