“I won’t be on Bluesky, but my book will.”

“I have to find readers and reviewers. There are readers and reviewers on Bluesky.”

“Since I’m using my book promotion as an example of my marketing skills, it needs to be where industry people are.”

This is how I’m coping with something I really don’t want to do. So, tell me, will I be wrong for posting my book promotion over there?

EDIT: For that 2nd option, maybe think “It’s not ethical.” There’s bias in how I wrote it.

@colorblindcowboy what matters is what's right for you. The fact that you say that you "really don't want to do" Bluesky tells me that it may not be worth it. You'll always have that feeling. Unless your promotion there goes so well that success distracts you from your unease. Then being on that site will have changed you & it sounds like you don't want that. Perhaps every post there (or every nth post) you could also point out that your preferred social media home is elsewhere?

Best of luck!

@RMiddleton I think that’s a good idea, to say I’m more active on Fedi. I don’t have the energy to really build the community there right now. I think my bsky activity will be more like parking stuff in case a reader happens to be there.
