Hi everyone! I am a huge advocate for content creators and writers. I love to boost self-published indie/small press authors, as well as creators such as bloggers, youtubers and instagrammers and small businesses. I wanted to make a post to chat about some of the things I offer which are at affordable prices and come with a loyal growing audience.

Ongoing advertising

My Ko-Fi membership option includes promotion for your book/blog/youtube etc. with your name and links included at the end of every blog post I publish. Each post receives hundreds of views and I post often, with thousands of views a month. As an example, last month my blog received over 20k views.

I am very active on Twitter and share my posts in multiple writers lift threads, as well as tweeting my posts to over 8,000 followers. My posts are also shared on Pinterest which is currently at 27,000 views a month and it is increasing.

Ko-Fi membership starts from £2 a month, or the equivalent in your currency. My members also get priority in shout-outs on Twitter, as well as a lot of other benefits. Please check out my Ko-Fi members page to find out more.

Update!

I have added two more tiers to my Ko-Fi page which include further promotion and sidebar advertising.

Book spotlight posts

Another promotion option is my book spotlight posts. These posts can feature items such as a book cover, book description, book genre, author bio and buy links. These posts will stay on my blog and they will also be listed on my book spotlights page for readers to find. My recent book spotlight post has reached almost 800 views in less than a week. You can directly commission a book spotlight through my Ko-Fi page.

Sidebar advertising slot

Your book cover, a banner or logo with a clickable link (must not lead to spam or adult content) can be included in my sidebar beneath my members' banners for 4 weeks. You can commission a sidebar advertising slot on my Ko-Fi page or join my Page Master membership tier for ongoing sidebar advertising and much more.

So those are a few options to help you gain new readers or more views. I would love to work with you and I look forward to talking to you! Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Thank you to my Ko-Fi members!~

Book Review: The Fast Little Fox (The Fast Little Fox & Friends book #1) by Jill Horton

This book was kindly sent to me to review. However, all opinions are my own and honest. This post also contains affiliate links.

Title: The Fast Little Fox (The Fast Little Fox & Friends book #1)

Author: Jill Horton

Genre: Children's picture book

Available on: Amazon.co.uk - Amazon.com in paperback and on kindle (Also free on Kindle Unlimited!)

Add it on Goodreads

The Fast Little Fox is an adorable children's book filled with cute and humorous pictures. We follow Freddy Fox who runs so quickly, he makes mistakes. He makes a friend who helps him learn and he makes up for his actions.

I thought that this was a wonderful children's book. It teaches lessons whilst also improving vocabulary. There are various animal characters for the children to learn about, each of their names beginning with the letter of what animal they are which can help to build associations for children.

This book is a great length for a story time tale and I can't wait to see the rest of the books that Jill Horton creates. I highly recommend this book if you have children or work with them!

My rating: 5/5 stars

What I'm Focusing on This Year

This post contains affiliate links

Hi everyone! If you follow me on Twitter, you will probably know that I have been dealing with debilitating chronic symptoms for a while. So for 2022, I decided to try to focus on positive things that make me happy. I thought I'd share some of my goals and ideas for this year. I'd love to hear any goals or anything you're focusing on for 2022!

Reading

I love reading. I get so excited about finding new books and reading makes me feel so many emotions but most of all, I get happiness from reading. 

I set my Goodreads goal for 200 books this year. On average I'd say I usually read about 50 books a year. But this year I am reading a lot of short childrens books and graphic novels between other reads, particularly middle grade fantasy. This allows me to complete more books and have something nice to focus on. 

I don't know if I will reach this goal but it is nice to have something I can reach for when I feel well enough to read.

Games

I have been a gamer for almost my entire life. I don't play games as much as I used to, and that's ok but when I feel like playing, I want to be playing games that I enjoy and make me happy. Some of my favourite games from last year are Animal Crossing with the DLC and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond.

Colouring and jigsaw puzzles

I wanted to do something that I can do whilst watching book videos, a TV show I've seen before or listening to an audiobook. I love mindfulness colouring, I find it really relaxing and it quiets my mind and just makes me feel calmer. I also want to make some bookish jigsaw puzzles up and glue them so I can display them. I am currently colouring in my Pokemon colouring book and I am really enjoying it.

Blogging

I want to continue to promote indie books this year and talk about mental and physical health, subjects that I want to bring out into the open and raise visibility and awareness for. I would like to work with more guest writers to help share their experiences. I also plan to continue posting poems when I feel inspired to write them.

Ko-Fi

Ko-Fi started offering a monthly membership option which is essentially like Patreon. I created a members tier which includes shout-outs for my supporters at the end of every blog post, including their links and a Discord server to chat, have a book club and text reading sprints, among other things. I would really like to get more members for this. It would really help me personally but I also want to support others through messages, shout-outs and things like reading sprints. 

Be kind to myself

Feeling really unwell physically every day, as well as dealing with mental health issues is tough. I want to try to be kinder to myself and think more positively. Even though there are a lot of things I can't do right now, I can try to focus more on what I can do and how I can help people. 

I also want to thank everyone who has been there for me, if you are reading this. Kind messages help more than you would know and I am really grateful to know so many lovely people who brighten my days. 

Thank you to my Ko-Fi members!~
