Author Insights: Five Ways to Support Authors (Part 2)

Welcome back fellow adventurers!

I can't believe it's the first Wednesday of April, but you know what that means! It's time for part two of Five Ways to Support Authors (without buying their books). Are you ready?

🥁🥁🥁........

#2-Like our Posts (Yes, I know another obvious one, but very important😅!)

I believe, you probably have a few questions about this (Don't worry I would ask them too 😁, and I'm going to take the time to answer them.).

#1. What if I don't like a post?

First off to be clear - don't like a post if you don't like it. I'm not trying to guilt trip or pressure you. Everyone is created special and unique. It would be a pretty boring world if we were all programed robots. We all have preferences, and may disagree on different points, and that's okay. Certain things we write may not resonate with you, and that's okay too.

#2. Then why and when should I like an author's post?

I am glad you asked 😉...

We as authors put a lot of effort into creating content for you to enjoy. We do it willingly of course, but it still takes time. Far less time than it takes for you to read, and like it. When you like our post, it lets us know that you care-- that something we did was worth doing. Maybe you didn't realize such a small gesture can be so encouraging, but now that you do, doesn't it feel good to make the world a brighter place?

So, when you enjoy our post, if it makes you smile, or it resonates with you then you now have full permission to press that button!

If you already do this, thank you so much! You always make my day 🌞!

Until next time, friends!
