Social media… love it or hate it? Day 200!

Wednesday 7th February Day 200

Today is a bit of a faffing day ((That’s all you ever do!)) I think I mentioned that I’m going to do a promotion on my New Zealand travel book soon… well, we just happened to start looking through all the videos we took using the go-pro and as i’ve previously said we have decided we are going to create vlogs out of the footage ((Of course you are)) it’s what we originally intended to do but then life got in the way and in a funny turn of events we now have a YouTube channel to share them on. Although we do intend to keep the Sunday 6pm vlogs as the cruising ones and then add the other ones on other days.

I’ve also decided to give TikTok another go. Specially BookTok as it really is a great market to break into it’s just the old problem of having enough time and if you’re going to invest in something you have to do it properly else there is no point. I’ve got a few ideas so we will see how that goes. I still haven’t been using Twitter or the new Threads on Instagram; I’m not sure why but I now seem to prefer other platforms. I suppose it’s a case of going where your audience is or where you can find a new audience. I will keep you updated on how that goes. ((Oh Joy. We so look forward to that.)) Social media is such hard work!

The promotion side is really the hardest part for me. I love creating but then i’m onto the next project. ((Perhaps you need to teach Chris how to use them)) Oh yeah, can you imagine… he doesn’t do social media in any way shape or form so i don’t think that would go down well. ((You could offer to pay him in beer?)) Not a bad call! Anyway, if you haven’t read my New Zealand book and fancy bagging yourself a bargain click here. Day done. Until tomorrow. xx
