No one will do it for you if you do not write and publish your thoughts unless you’re Michael Jackson. Undoubtedly, self-publishing is one of the keys to success in a broadly defined art.
Did I already succeed in my targets in photography? Yes and no. Yes, because I know people who admire my artwork and whom I have already inspired. Moreover, I have already had two photography exhibitions. Another success is the fact that I sold some of my photographs. On the other hand, I know I still have a lot of work to do. For example, I do not yet have worldwide recognition. But is it the main aim of my artistic activity? No. The main target is to have fun with my passion. Self-publishing is one of the critical elements in this process.
This website and my “Diaries” are great examples of how we could all make self-publishing.
If you write, take photographs, or want to share your passion, start publishing all these things yourself. I cannot guarantee you that you will make a success. Yet, I am convinced that your family and friends will start to look at you from a different perspective. I hope they will support you in your passion. My beloved Kamilka, my parents, and my friends are always helping me. It is a great moment to say to them, “Thank you!” Sooner or later, your close friends will start talking about your passion with others. That’s how one of the most efficient marketing tools works. We call it to whisper marketing.
Is sharing your stuff on Instagram or Facebook self-publishing?
Undoubtedly, yes, it is. Nevertheless, this kind of self-publishing standardizes practically all works of art. The key to broadly defined success is to stand out from the crowd. Getting likes on Facebook and Instagram is a fragile success. Social media sites are built on human vanity. Speaking shortly, my Dear Friend, invest in your hobby and website and start self-publishing on your terms. Do not waste your precious time.
PS
If you do not know which sites to choose to start a website, I would recommend you use the services of Bluehost and WordPress.
