The marketing side, I'm useless at it. Having said that, indie publishing got me into social media, which I'd avoided like the plague before. Now I'm a member of several writers' groups on Facebook, am on Goodreads and Binge Books and have an Instagram page to show the covers of my books and write-ups of them. I've also made a couple of really good writer friends that way, who I wouldn't have missed knowing for the world. One of them has become both friend and mentor, and it was due to her that I began writing and publishing poetry, which I never thought would happen in a million years. But I still wish I had a marketing professional on my team.
