A friend started a free blog directory that includes categories for writers and teacher-authors. I’ve added WordDreams. It’s free, just getting going. If you’re looking for another way to market your books, here’s how you sign up:

Why the Blog Directory?
- Find blogs of a specific category; and/or find bloggers of similar interests.
- Drive more traffic to your blog and enhance its SEO. Search engines like to crawl websites in such directories*.
- I believe it’s the first of kind for bloggers by a blogger. And unlike others, it’s human moderated directory.
- It’s FREE!
How to submit your blog?
- Visit https://mohamadkarbi.com/directory Check the Terms and Conditions before submitting, make sure they suit your needs and interests.
- Click on add listing
- Choose a category
- Provide some details about your blog (title, description, URL, …).

I’d have to dig into it. On the surface, a great idea! Amazon has Indies in a stranglehold because they are efficient, affordable, the best game in town–and dictatorial. What’s an author to do?

I’m like that, too. I can’t take rejection or insults. They cut! But, know they come with self-publishing. Some people do them just to be mean. I don’t get it.
