Day in Life of New Author

Hi Y'all, I do not have a budget for marketing so that has been my biggest struggle. I do my best and make sure I post on social media every day. I made sure to join some great groups online. I try to touch on each one at least once a week. I am waiting for funds to get some more author copies. I can then plan to maybe go to some book shows and look into local bookstores. I just want to become part of the community. I am not looking to be a best seller or get rich. I would like the people who would be inspired by my stories to read them.
