every trendy indie author marketing specialist: you should set up a reader discord! me: okay, sounds cool. what should it look like? what mistakes and pitfalls should i avoid? what will it cost me in time, labor, or money to moderate and maintain it? every trendy indie author marketing specialist: …you should set up a reader discord!!!

#discord #indie author #yes i am fully aware of the mechanics of setting up a discord server #tell me how to manage the social aspects so it doesn't crash and burn with micromodding interpersonal drama #i would also like to see a frank discussion of the ethics of nominating random hardcore fans to moderate for free #vs. paying people what their time is worth but something tells me no one's ready for that talk #'moderate it yourself!' i am ONE DUDE do you honestly think i have the time/energy/spoons for that???
