If you write reviews, write a truncated review on a book website -- a place like Goodreads is a good start, or Amazon -- and leave something in the signature at the bottom of the review pointing to your work here. It may not be much for the short-term, but it's how reviewers like Khan the Grinch and Wendy Darling built audiences on Goodreads.

I keep forgetting one thing I did which I think was borderline brilliant: I changed my YouTube handle to Front Row & Backstage on Substack! I'm forever wanting to drop links on music-related vids (a no-no, of course!), so now I just say, "hey, check out what I wrote about this video's artist by searching my ID above," or words to that effect! So, there ARE ways to beat this hand-cuffing system!! Thanks for your suggestion, Rachael!
