One of my favorite things to do now is podcasting but that wasn't always my story. When I released my book, O C E A N, in 2022, I knew I wanted it to reach many hands. I didn't know where to start and as I began researching marketing and publicity tools, there was a reoccurring theme: Podcasting. The thought of that terrified me for many reasons! One, I am quiet and soft-spoken, no one is going to want my voice on air, I didn't even want my voice on air. Two, how do I go online and openly talk about myself? I don't know how to do that!
I had a choice to make, and I knew that I couldn't risk my book not being unsuccessful because of my own fear. What if podcasting would be the one thing that helped me reach readers and I miss the mark by being afraid and insecure? I couldn't bear that thought. I signed up for my first podcast, and it was a SMASH hit *check out the first review below*
It's okay to be afraid of new things, but don't let them stop you!! Now I think about all these wonderful people below, and these are just a few, and all the amazing conversations I would have missed out on. Learn from me, you got this!
