I've been trying to write this post for a few days now, and my fingers are still trembling on the keyboard as I type. I'm scared my business won't find the people who will love what I create--bookmarks, notebooks, reading journals, and other gifts for book lovers. Maybe that's the fear of every creator, but after years of in person events where I failed to find book-loving, notebook/journal obsessed, bookmark-collecting readers who love a good romance, thriller, or memoir, I'm a little more than reticent. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. So I'm hopping on a trend and hoping to land in front of the right readers.
Dear Algorithm, please connect me with...
The girls reading books under their desks in math class.
The book club organizer who does a little dance when they find the perfect book for the next meeting.
The readers who would never judge a book by its (*cough* movie tie-in *cough) cover, but will totally judge a reader by their bookshelves.
The stationery-obsessed readers who know it's impossible to have too many cute notebooks.
Hi, there, fellow readers. My name is Erica, and I'm the creator and owner of By Her Shelf Media. What started as a reading blog in the summer of 2018 has blossomed into a company housing a blog, podcast, publishing company, and handmade bookish gifts for readers. Little did I know when I sat down to pen the first blog on my new Wordpress domain that the future would include an online business.
While selling my products online is new to me, sharing about books I can't wait to read, authors I adore, and the latest book-related news is not. Each week, I'll share a little about By Her Shelf Media, the products in our online shop, tips and tricks for getting the most out of a bookish lifestyle, and the titles I can't wait to read/can't stop raving about. I hope you'll join me on this bookish journey. :-)
