I burned myself out with marketing my suspense novels several years ago. After cutting way, WAY back, I still maintain a newsletter here on SS and use Instagram as both have a good bookish community that I enjoy. I like your ideas of short-form video, though I doubt I'll ever go on TikTok. Great roundup of ideas, thanks!

One thing that strikes me with the successful marketing efforts is that most, if not al,l of the authors using them are already a success. So, they could potentially just put on a burlap sack, stand on a street corner with a sign that announces who they are, and would likely get a long line of fans. Not so for the "regular" authors who struggle to be seen.
