The Difference between Marketing and Sales
Selling involves pushing your product to every potential customer . It means making noise about your product until someone says

Marketing My Book: Going to buy a plot in Maaī Mahiū
How do you sell your book?
Thursday, March 21, 2024
5 ways to say, "My mother died. " For those currently or constantly grieving.
On a random Thursday, when you get to work, you will find Clara distributing cupcakes at the coffee machine. Banana cupcakes, and you will randomly mention that your mother used to make banana cupcakes when you were young. Then Karen from accounting will ask cheerfully. ' Oh, does she still make them? You should bring us some sometime."
And you will say " No, not anymore."
You might walk away at this moment and go cry in the toilet, but ofcourse Clara will ask ." Why?"
How do you spit out the words?
Do you say, my mother died, my mother is long dead, my mother passed, my mother is long dead, or my mother is laying down with her forefathers?
These are five ways to answer that question without getting a concussion from sobbing. For those who lost their mothers 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five years ago, one year ago or last week, and cannot bring themselves to say the words that confirm that yes, you are permanently severed from the umbilical cord.
1. " Oh my mother, she slept one final one."
2 "My mother decided this world was not her home kitamboooo."
3. " My mother, that one is dust from dust and ash to ashes."
4. " That one, only Jesus can wake her up now."
5. Or The classic Kikuyu one " ucio niathire gutuhandagira mianga"- she went ahead of us to plant Cassava.
You need to be near an exit after saying any of these because no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the message, it will still hit you right in the stomach, and you might spend most of the afternoon sitting in the toilet sink counter.
All the best.

Readers feedback for Going to buy a plot in Maaī Mahiū and Other Stories by Cecilia Gathoni
Ssup Cess read your book this week and loved it. Utterly loved it in every possible way...
My favourite chapter is 4 : The Importance of Cows
It is beautiful and amzing. Truly having perspective and clarity is on of the most important things but aside from that this chapter clearly showcases vividly the overall them of the book: LIFE IS UNFAIR, deal with it!
From imagining the rotting carcasses, the death filled air, the distraught demeanor of the Maasai and to the idiot next to you it was truly a masterpiece. I have so much perspectives I would love to say, but lemme leave it at The Importance of Cows...
Thanks for the stories & such an awesome book...
Brian, this is feedback I’ve been waiting for.
The Importanc rod cows was the last story I did. In fact I added it just before the book went to print. It’s a story I had been carrying inside since November last year. I typed it one afternoon on my phone at the Kikuyu bus station, Kikuyu town, then went to a cyber and proof read it. It’s one of the most important stories for me in the book. It moved me when I wrote it, I wondered if anyone would get it as profoundly as you have.
Like you have said. That is the main theme of the story- I am amazed that you were able to see it and summarize it.- Brian
😁hiii! Yes, but I haven't finished reading; my life pretends to be too busy even for important things! 😅 But i scribbled this comment immediately after reading the first few pages: True to life, with elegant simplicity, and an intelligent sense of humour! It's hard to believe this is your first book! Sam
