    If you want exposure, nothing puts you out there like your actual person being on YouTube in a consistent manner. Keep in mind we need to see a face, not just a voice. It helps us connect to you and therefore your work.

    What if we're a robot or have a very ugly face? ;)

    Bonus if you are a robot? And I won't lie, the people who are prettier/good looking are more popular, that holds true on YT just like most everywhere. However, if you have content that people want, are consistent with your output, you can make it work.

    I'm thinking of hiring someone to do a Podcast. Maybe later this year or next. ;)

    In the immortal words of Rexxar, Hearthstone Hunter Extraordinaire, 'Face is the Place'. Doooooo try to make it vod instead of pod. I know writers tend to be very shy ppl, but the rewards can be worth the risk.

    This used to be how you won games in Hearthstone before the nerf bat hit:

    Get a new family?
    I hope you don't twist into Gollum, if you do can you be a sexier, blue haired Gollum instead.

    Family is life, I agree with that. But blood is not always family. My best friend is more family, then some of those I share blood with.

    I made the poll to help build hype for August releases and *ahem* @James G Patton so needs to get his author photo + his new title integrated into Goodreads. Right now, you're covering that cardboard cutout niche. Beware the weirdos!

    edit: Andddddd I take that back. I think I added the wrong James Patton. I mean, there's only a dozen to choose from. Luckily can change that with a quick edit. I gotchoo.

    Haha, yea i'm the one wearing a white and blue hat

    Edit: To be fair, I think that James G Patton you added was originally part of my account. They jacked up some things when I applied for my author page, really a pain in the butt. Amazon does something similar, so I have to go through emails with them when I publish.

    Wear a mask and use a slight voice distorter. Might be considered novelty enough to garner attention.

    I'm from a large family myself (8 siblings, and my dad has 5 siblings and my mom has 14 siblings, and almost everyone is married and average 4 or so kids). I'm not going to do the math, but that is a f'n buttload of people.

    It was the only reason I was considering using a pen name. A lot of them are very religious, even some priests in that mix, and I was afraid the language in my book and even the god joke I made the end would piss them off. They enjoyed it, at least the ones that read it, so no worries there. I get where you are coming from though.

    Yeah, it's lookin' gewd!

    As for the group bookshelf, I only input the first book. Everyone else like @Apollos , @DJ Schinhofen , @Zachariah Dracoulis , and lots of others not (yet) on this forum meticulously added to it.

    And thank the STARS, because woooo, did you see how much work is involved? Oh no, Felicity ain't about that. Could end up with a broken nail or sumpthin'. ; P

    I really need to get on this. How many precious seconds does it take to set up an author account, if such a thing exists? :)

    @James G Patton recently got his author account squared away. I bet he can offer you the guide for a mere silver piece.
