Recording Blog Posts For Accessibility And Audience Reach
As authors we write a blog or post an excerpt and it goes onto a website as text with a link. And while the reader can read it, they need to be sitting in front of their screen to do it (and hopefully not driving or distracted). Someone with a vision impairment can have a screen reader rela

Are you backing up your website like your novel?
The common thoughts around backup is to follow a 3-2-1 strategy for anything you deem important. That means 3 copies, across 2 different mediums, and at least 1 copy off site. How does this look for your novel? You have the copy that you back up locally, such as your Scrivener backup, where at le

Age Verification Is Coming. All Authors Need to be Aware.
If you write romance of any sort, but especially erotica and erotic romance, or you write horror, and I would argue anything that might get an R rating in a movie theater (or even a PG-13) then you need to be aware of whether your state is passing age verification laws for

The Return of Tech Thursdays
Technology is changing at a rapid pace, and while I don't claim to have all the answers, one of my passions is making technology a bit easier for the layperson to understand. When I try to talk about some of these changes on social media, I'm also hearing a lot of authors say something to the effect of, "I don't w

Have Multiple Pen Names? You Need A Social Media Scheduler
I admit, I haven't been good at scheduling social media posts lately. But, in my defense, the tools I'd been using (Planable, Fedica) didn't connect to all my networks or had issues, and frankly it just took way too much brain power between trying to figure

Make Your Author Newsletter Count For More Subscribers
A few months ago, I blogged about what political texts taught me about marketing. And then a recent article crossed my social media feed that basically said that consumers are opting out (as many as 40% a week

Try This Simple Trick To Determine Reliable Service
I like to think of the help desk for any organization kind of like car insurance. You sure hope you never need it (them), but if you do, you want them to take care of you. When the technology is powering your business, you need it to be extra reliabl

NPR has shown that it’s okay to leave X
I admit that I've been hesitant to leave X. I'm also not going to lie that I've been advocating for it, and I believe that if you remain active on the platform then you're indirectly supporting the hate and hatred that seems to have taken over the platform. But also, I get it. You have a certain n

If you want to go #green and still use Google, you're missing a trick. Switch to Ecosia (www.ecosia.org)!
They put most of the money they make from advertising into tree planting at a massive scale and where it's important for the ecosystem and local peoples.
They're also carbon negative, they produce more power than they use with solar panels.
They also have strong privacy policies so don't track you like Google do!
I've used it for 3+ years now and love it.
