EP. 38: Why I Left Social Media as a Writer and What I Do Instead with Gabe Cox

Any writer who considers leaving social media is likely to wrestle with a number of fears and questions: How will you stay in the loop? How will you connect with other writers or with your readers? How will you sell your books? What if it doesn’t work? Today we’re speaking with Gabe Cox, an online business and goals strategist, podcaster, and the author of three books. Join us as she shares how she overcame her fears and grappled with each of these questions. Listen in!
