We recently connected with TANISHA MACKIN and have shared our conversation below.

TANISHA, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

The story behind my mission started when I lost my husband on our one year wedding anniversary to gun violence. He was a victim of a mass shooting in Buffalo, NY in 2010. His death led me to start writing books and encouraging others to share their stories through writing while healing. This has been my mission for many years and my company has helped many people share their testimonies with the world.

TANISHA, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I turned my pain into passion and began writing inspirational books after I lost my husband to gun violence. Several years later I started assisting others with publishing their books and sharing their stories with the world. For those clients that were unable to write their stories due to time or lack of writing skills, I started ghostwriting services. This led me to working with some amazing people such as actress and comedian Kim Coles, Reality Star Stevie J and many more.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

The best source of new clients for me has been either by word of mouth or by social media. I received so many clients from word of mouth from past clients who knew of friends and family members that wanted to write a book or needed help with publishing a book. My second source has been social media. I have had clients tell me that they would put in the hashtag publisher or ghostwriter and my page would pull up and from their we would conduct a consultation with our potential client.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

One thing I would do to build my audience is to do a giveaway once every few months. I would set several rules that people would have to follow in order to qualify for the prize. It worked on several occasions. I learned that people, customers and clients want to know whats in it for them and they love free stuff. Doing giveaways helped me to build my social media following.
