For new and aspiring authors, it's easy to feel terrified, frustrated, and overwhelmed by social media (ask me how I know 🫠).

Or at least, it's easy to feel like you aren't doing enough to market your books or yourself as an author.

But you can't just walk away...can you?

In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm quitting social media, and still expect to grow as an author without posting daily reels, stories, or TikToks.

We'll discuss:- Why social media return on investment (ROI) isn’t worth the level of effort (LOE) for most authors

- The opportunity cost of endless posting and scrolling

- How social platforms can drain creativity and confidence

- Strategies to market your book *without social media*-----------------------------------------------------If you've ever asked yourself,

“Do I have to be on TikTok or Instagram to sell books?”

“How do I market my book without social media?”

“What’s the best way to grow as an author without burning out?”

…this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need.

Author, you don't have to quit completely, but you can scale back, focus on what works and what you enjoy, and finally feel the freedom to write without the constant pressure of the algorithms. Follow the podcast for more writing and mindset encouragement, and let me know in a comment or review how scaling back on social media might help you! You've got this, writer. 🫶🏻
