Today I've had a busy day, despite feeling quite fatigued when I woke this morning.
Walking the dogs, and further than usual (Xali was up for a good run), blew the cobwebs away and I returned home feeling slightly more energetic.
Time for a bit of self promotion I decided. Spurred on by Nick the other day I have been shamelessly promoting my books through Twitter and am really starting to get my head round it all. I've even got a couple of new (literary) followers and have started following some folks in the literary world too.
Anyway today I set up a 'page' on facebook for 'The Magic of the Camino'. Why I didn't do it before I don't know- well I do- something to do with being afraid of self promotion. Anyway I set the page up and let it go live at about 14.00. It's now just 22.30 (more or less) and already I've had 28 'likes' and a host of comments and questions on how to get hold of a copy. Fantastico.
This promotion meant that some of my chums from the Camino got in contact too, and so my mind went racing back to The Way, and how much I enjoyed the experience and value the friendships made on it. I added a few photos to the page as well and the memories flooded back as to where, when and why I took the photos. Ah good times.
Day One: Daybreak in the Pyrenees.
And a little further on with new friends.
OH, how much am I looking forward to getting back out. I am sure the Camino Primitov has more adventures in store for me....
WOW WOW WOW I love that first picture!
ReplyDeleteAnd well done on the marketing. It will reap it's rewards I tells ya!
Love that you are promoting yourself, Mark, and that you have set up your Facebook page! YAY! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNick- the first picture was taken early in the morning on our first day- and Wow Wow Wow is what we kept saying as we climbed the Pyrenees. Hopefully this year I will be saying the same as I tackle the slopes around Oviedo. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle -always a little scary to put myself out there, but now I've started I may never stop!!
