What a year it’s been!

In summary, here’s most of what I’ve done as a Nigerian Indie Author in the diaspora having set out main goals and mapped out a plan.

  • Publishing an erotic anthology with a pen name
  • Publishing Romantic Illusions
  • Leading and working on multiple projects with multiple authors
  • Publishing Escape, A Twin Bliss Resort Novel
  • Working with Street Teams and Advance Readers
  • Ignoring other goals
  • Surpassing 3,000 Instagram followers
  • Launching a newsletter
  • ReLaunching this beautiful website
  • Having over 300 newsletter subbies with over 60% open rates
  • Almost hitting a 1000 YouTube Camaraderies (Please subscribe here if you haven’t)
  • Author interview on one blog and multiple Instagram accounts
  • Launching writing classes and workshops
  • The list is endless ☺️☺️☺️

In the video below, I break down most of these goals into months in the year 2021 in a conversational style.

Although I didn’t meet some of my goals, looking back, I feel fulfilled and I know the next steps to take as an indie self-publishing author.

Do you set goals? Make plans? What’s your process like?
