But soon people realised they could communicate information via blogs. This opened up a world of commercial opportunity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In 2004 I approached blogging, just as the first bloggers had done, purely as a fun thing to do. I understood nothing about it other than how to build a WordPress website and publish posts. I was a novice novice who had stumbled into an industry I hardly knew existed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">With little purpose I became bored and almost gave up, stopped posting and <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/write-first-novel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/write-first-novel\/\">began writing novels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">I was serious about novel writing and when I needed an author platform I turned to my derelict blog for inspiration. There were a few hundred posts gathering dust.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">So, I created a new author website and attached the blog to it. then I began the process of re-modelling it hoping it would drive traffic to my author website. It was a long rather disorganised process until I did what I should have much earlier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><em><strong>I took time out and studied online business.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">As they say, hindsight is a wonderful thing. And it is never on time.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 id=\"h-a-wasted-asset-i-should-be-using-to-sell-more-books\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Wasted_Asset_I_Should_be_Using_to_Sell_More_Books_on_Amazon\"><\/span>A Wasted Asset I Should be Using to Sell More Books on Amazon.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I should have been driving traffic to the blog and funnelling it to an Author Website to sell my books.

They have all provided rare material which he uses to great effect in his writing.Blogging, writing articles about Thailand and poetry, led to writing novels. With a literary bent, his character-driven stories are dramatic, suspenseful, thrilling and emotional. There are always romantic and sinister elements at play in his plots.James\\u2019 poetry drifts from the romantic to fear for the survival of our world, human rights and the darkness of death. Inspired by music, film, and literature. Shakespeare, Dickens, Hesse, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, among others, have all had a profound influence on his life, his writing, and the messages within.\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4917"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15017,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4917\/revisions\/15017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
