Are You Missing Out?

Posted on March 27, 2017 by Mae Clair

Open memo book with eyeglasses and pen It’s Monday and the beginning of the last week in March. Although it’s rainy in my corner of the world, the temperatures are beginning to climb and there are even rumors of a gorgeous day tomorrow. Not too shabby for kicking off a new week :)

And, of course, a new week brings a brand new post on Story Empire. Today, Staci Troilo addresses what your author website is likely missing. This is an informative post you won’t want to miss. I know it reminded me of something I’ve neglected to do.

How about you? Is your author website all that it should be? Hop over to Story Empire to see what you may have overlooked.

  Sleet? That’s nasty stuff. We have rain, but thankfully, it’s warm enough to just be drizzly, damp and wet.
  
  Wishing you a great week too!

  We’ve been hammered with rain lately. Today was sunny, but tonight the rain comes back. Ugh, indeed.

  The good part of time flying so quickly is that spring is finally inching into my area.
  Thanks for checking out Staci’s post, Jan. Really good info over there today!

Rainy and cold here. Yet there is forecast for a better mid of the week, then rain again.
Heading now to read the post.
Have a lovely week, Mae!

Stacy rocked it on this one. Of course, this is one more thing on my ever-growing “to do” list.

  Thanks, Joan. But let’s not talk about the ever-growing to-do list.
  
  Have you noticed that both “to-do” and “list” are four-letter words? 😉

    Never thought of that. Seeing my to-do list makes me think of a few four-letter words. 😉

  So glad you found it valuable, Lauralynn. A media kit is something I completely overlooked on my own site. Like you, I’m looking forward to Staci’s follow up post. She’s great at marketing!

Thanks, MC.
We are now finally, definitely, in spring – but so strange – with our cold snap, all the early blooming is still around while the later is emerging – so we have red buds, pears, cherry trees, dogwoods, and azaleas all out at the same time. Amazing!

  Fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy her post.
  
  As for that dreary rain, it’s hanging around here today too. It chased the predicted warm weather away, but at least it’s only moved to the end of the week. Fingers crossed the sun comes out soon!

I don’t have a media kit on my website, and the media kit I have at hand isn’t nearly as extensive as her list. I look forward to her example.
