3 Advertising Frustrations Plaguing this Independent Publisher
Advertising sucks, but we all need attention to succeed. Thus, the small, independent publisher grapples with forces magnitudes greater than itself to eke out a measly audience. Here’s some issues I’ve been running into recently.
Where is the Audience?
Man, self-publishing is rough.
I mean, it’s not like there weren’t warning signs from every single resource on the topic, but dang. Self-publishing got hands.
The good news is that, for Mana Mania, a good number of things are already taken off of my plate. The art and graphics are minimalistic and done by our team or by friends at a low rate. We’ve got a manufacturer lined up who will take care of shipping, albeit at a slightly higher cost than some other potential suppliers. No, the biggest hurdle is just getting the audience together.
