I’d been trying to get my nerve up to use TikTok as a marketing platform for my books for a while now. Finally this week I uploaded my first video. Using my trusty iPhone I took probably nine trillion takes and finally produced a clip that didn’t make me gag.
It’s a very simple video with no special effects or showing of cleavage or dancing about. It’s just me reading a portion of a chapter from Mayhem at the Happy Valley Resort. It received about 830 views and a few likes then sputtered out.
So I produced a second video. It required fewer takes since I didn’t fumble around with the variety of buttons available. Again, I read from one of my books, The Cowboy and the Executive. I think it’s been viewed a little over six hundred times with a smattering of likes.
I tried a silly one last night. Just me hiding beneath a blanket to escape the editing process. That little experiment died on the vine.
So today, I’m putting on a ridiculously low cut blouse, cranking up some sexy music, and dancing around the pole I had Studly Doright install in the dining room. That should sell some books, right?
Peace, people!

Sounds like you’re getting the hang of it! Bolder by degrees. Include your cat in a video. People love cats.

I know a 61 year old man in Texas who is launching a book who is active on TikTok. Because of him I occasionally visit this app but I haven’t ventured into producing content there (yet)… way to go for doing it! 🙂

What’s his name? I’ll follow him. It’s kind of fun, but super nerve wracking at the same time.
