Meet Lorna K. Bailey
Let's not beat around the bush - Lorna K. Bailey's more than just a regular EA. She's a power player when it comes to perfecting processes, especially for creatives like yourself! Her self-publishing journey began back in 2014 after witnessing her spouse's adventures in indie-authordom. Since then, she's honed her skills, helping artists transform messy workflows into lean, mean, productivity machines.
Rockin' the Right Routines
Why should you care about routines and workflows? Well, they're your secret weapons for cruising through creative chaos! Lorna swoons over those babies called Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). For authors, SOPs are like the superheroes of organization, save 'em from the seemingly never-ending onslaught of decision fatigue, time wasters, and productivity killers.
Notion: Your Second Brain
Is your noggin feeling slightly overwhelmed? Then it's time to meet your new bestie - Notion, the future of organization! Notion's got your back, shacking up with all your brainstorms, ideas, character profiles, marketing plans and everything in between. Say goodbye to scattered notes and hello to having everything you need at the touch of a button. Lorna's even whipped up a kick-ass Notion template to help you take control of your creative processes.
AI on Duty
Lorna recognizes the magic of AI but keeps it at arm's length when it comes to creative endeavors, like crafting book content or designing covers. However, she's not afraid to employ AI for more administrative tasks like cranking out sales copy, whipping up emails, or scheduling to-dos. When she needed it most - like when she was dealing with a pesky broken arm - AI was her lifeblood in keeping her business afloat.
Can't Beat Group Collector
Time to meet the lesser-known MVP in Lorna's arsenal - Group Collector. If you're somebody who manages online communities, this tool will soon become your new best buddy! Group Collector simplifies the monumental task of adding new members from Facebook groups directly to your email lists. It masterfully employs AI to sift through entries, filtering out the chaff and leaving only the cream of the crop. Say goodbye to exhausting manual labor when managing group members!
The Future of VA Life
As the chat shifted towards the future of virtual assistance, Lorna cast a reassuring outlook. She believes AI is the key to unlocking greater job efficiency and offers numerous opportunities for growth and expansion in the world of self-publishing. By offloading repetitive tasks to AI, self-publishing artists can set their sights on the creative future!
