    You have every right to promote your book as much as you want and you are doing a great job. There will always be idiots who will complain about anything and everything. IGNORE THEM AND DON'T GIVE THEM ANY AIRTIME!!

      @traceymayo1583 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      Yes i agree! Its a huge deal writing a book, and you should be very proud and shout it out to the world! I am hoping to buy a copy before we go to Italy in September so I can read it while im there :)

    Nicki. Never apologize for promoting your book. Just forget about the trolls and conduct your life they way you need to. Those people can go pound “sale”. We appreciate you and love your content. May you sell many copies of your work of art. 🍋

  • @joannelobrutto9276
    @joannelobrutto9276 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +111

    Nicki, you have earned the right to promote your book to everyone. It is quite an accomplishment, one to be proud of. If I wrote a book I would hire a skywriting plane and promote it in the sky!

  • @Anne-yw6ed
    @Anne-yw6ed 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +172

    I love the way you talk about your book and the places that the book sales take you in town. It is impressive how resourceful you are - writing, publishing, promoting and selling your own work. Truly inspiring!

      I looked it up on Amazon and got nothing 😢? Is it no longer available? If I google it I can find it but when I go into my Amazon act ? No 🤷‍♀️ is it not avail in US?

    @jeanroberson7089 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +110

    Nicki, you don’t need to apologize for promoting your book. You worked hard on the project and deserve to do whatever you want on your channel! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love to live vicariously thru you! I visited the Amalfi coast 23 years ago and thought it was so beautiful.

    The nerve for anyone to suggest that you shouldn't promote your book! You've got every right to be very proud of yet 1 more of your variety of accomplishments! Yay you! And how wonderful that you have such a varied garden & can share, but also be pretty self-sufficient! That's such a huge blessing! God bless you, dear Niki & Carlo! And family!

  • @annierose9168
    @annierose9168 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +97

    I'm sorry about the few rude morons you had to deal with. This is YOUR vlog YOUR book and bravo to you! Both you and Carlo have been so generous opening up your home, your life to all of us. You are a lovely family, so screw and ignore the haters. They are miserable anyway and are not worth the air you breathe.

  • @lindalaliberte8704
    @lindalaliberte8704 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +79

    I think it's wonderful that the vegetables are shared with so many relatives. The view going down the stairs to Carlo's parents is so beautiful. I'm sure asking his mom about her memories of Positano will give you a wealth of information to write about in the future. IMO, I think anyone who criticizes you about talking about your book, is jealous of your talent and your accomplishments. I applaud you! 😀👏👏👏👏👏👏

  • @phillipleboa5251
    @phillipleboa5251 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +73

    Those who do not want to hear you talk about YOUR book... it is their problem. BESIDES, you are actually doing such amazing advertising for the shops and businesses in Positano - telling future travelers where the shops are [who stock your books]. It is YOUR channel !!!! YOU TALK ABOUT THE BOOK AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT. Love all your videos !! xoxoxxo

  • @heather1778
    @heather1778 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +51

    Nonreaders’ opinions about your book simply must be dismissed! Your joy and enthusiasm over this accomplishment is contagious and We Love seeing it. Carry on with your celebration knowing we are celebrating with you in spirit ! 💕🌏

    Hi Nicki, just wanted to say that as a long time viewer I bought, read and really enjoyed “A Boatful of Lemons” - and recommended it! It’s such a huge achievement to not only finish writing a book, but to publish and promote it yourself. It takes an enormous amount of discipline and courage to put yourself out there, whether in creating something from scratch like a novel or on social media, and you have every reason to have faith in yourself. Thank you to you, Carlo, and all your family and friends for sharing a glimpse of your lives with all of us (and please ignore the muppets). PS I LOVE Carlo’s speaker cover/table - now that’s what I call upcycling!

  • @IVant2BAlone
    @IVant2BAlone 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +131

    Good for you, Nicki - promote the heck out of that book! You put so much time and effort into not only writing, but self-publishing it. I can't tell you how much I admire you for that. It's going to take me a while to get through the book, because my time is limited, but I read a page ot two when I can and am enjoying it thoroughly. I am also going to buy a copy for my friend for a Christmas present. I hope you get that Lifetime movie!

  • @caroline3753
    @caroline3753 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Take it from me, a 75 year old woman, most people who criticize anything or anyone at the drop of a hat, are ignorant, hateful, jealous people with dark souls who I bet you haven’t achieved one single good thing in their entire existence. They sit in their miserable lives trying their hardest to bring good people down. They get pleasure out of that, especially giving poisonous advice right & left, while they are the ones in dire need of serious help . The only way to deal with this negativity is just to totally ignore it. Blank them out. You my dear are an accomplished lady in every way. You bring so much sunshine & joy into our lives. Thank you! You are down to earth, smart, kind, generous, beautiful, a great mom, a great wife, and a loving giving soul. Of course they’ll be jealousy! We, your thousands of followers & subscribers love you and always look forward to having you take us on one of your magical adventures.❤❤❤❤❤

  • @lisa_and_christian
    @lisa_and_christian 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +28

    You absolutely deserve "the pleasure of promoting the hell" out of your own book! AND in our opinion, you should 100% do paid partnerships or collabs on your SoMe channels. You put soooooo much work into this---and we all appreciate it for free!

  • @Tofog22000
    @Tofog22000 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

    I'm sure you made Carlo's mom's day, letting her share her stories ❤. What a rewarding feeling to actually see your book on display!

  • @elfriedeschmidt4033
    @elfriedeschmidt4033 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +64

    OMG!! How can anyone even say anything negative about another one’s pride in their accomplishments! Bet those who are criticizing haven’t written a book themselves! Please self-promote as you wish…many more of us out here support you so have no worries. By the way, my book arrived this week here in Canada and I can’t wait to cosy up to it. It will no doubt take me back to the couple of times I’ve been on the Amalfi Coast. Grazie Bella!!

    • @kimcunningham2107
      @kimcunningham2107 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I totally agree... People need to keep their opinions to themselves. Obviously don't have a clue about being kind.

      I think Nicki is very humble. But, she has many talents, including a good business mind. So, it is terrific that she promotes her own business.

  • @jenjem5810

    Dear daring girl.
    Your modesty is impressive.
    Three books?
    Look at how many listeners you have almost 200 k!
    I hope your channel will flourish.
    Your kindness is everpresent.
    You don't omit the bloopers,
    Like dropped phone in the toilet.
    The Community in Positano has benefitted greatly by your arduous efforts to showcase everything and everyone.
    All while you tend your family,the garden,
    And the little animals
    You are a hero, an inspiration for so many...
    To plant a little garden box
    To sweep the patio.
    You are a role model
    The life you built is solid.
    We thank you for the generous glimpse of your surroundings.
    May everything resulting a blessing, as you have endeavored to bless others, and always commend them for their talents
    Hugs to you and your dear Ones.
    Make sure to put anti moisture packets around, Or have a dehumidifier. They work miracles.

    My favorite part of this weeks content was the harvest and explanation that it is all for family. The survival of family by coming together with purpose to plant, harvest and share the bounty. Luca and Carlo are admirable in their ability to come together and create beautiful bountiful gardens.

    Nicki I started your kindle version of the book on my vacation last week. I am only about 6 chapters in, but I wanted to let you know that, in my opinion, your style of writing is as advanced as any seasoned published author! Your descriptions of the people and places in Positano just makes me feel as if I am a friend tagging along with Wendy and Amanda! The fact that you wrote and published your book without any outside book publisher is something you should be very proud of! I look forward to reading the rest of the novel. Ciao, until next time.

  • @clairejackson7521

    Loved all of this! How dare someone scold you about promoting your book on your own pages! The nerve of some people.

    I found you recently and have been diligent in watching as many episodes as I can. You have such a jewell here. You have grown so much over the years in your filming. You are so gracious and creative in coming up with interesting episodes. Hownice to have a best friend like Elizabeth and her girls love you guys so much. Carlos is a delight! I ammso glad he speaks in Italian. I would rather here him speak his real language and have captions. And you have your lovely English accent. Your home is so cozy. Your hard work has paid off. We could not ask for more spectacular views than the Amalfi coast and the surrounding mountains. My favorite episode to date is the walk up the Pathway of the gods to milk the goats and go through the process to make cheese. I have watched it a couple of times trying to imagine men below looking for a red table cloth to signal workers were needed. At 81, I am no longer able to travel and walk up stairs so I enjoy it vicariously. Much Appreciation for all you and Carlos do for we viewers. You are both just lovely.

    It's hard to fathom why anyone would criticize you for promoting your book on here. It's your channel! I'm currently writing a book and I understand how much work it is. I have a whole new appreciation for authors. I sometimes read a novel in a weekend that's taken somebody a whole year to write! Good on you!

Nikki, I know we are all saying how proud of you we all are, but I think back some years, and it's quite an achievement how far you have come. One simple request: Book Sales might be kind of a private theme for a little while, but I would love it if every now and then you would just give us an update. Lots of love. Hi Carlo

    What a simple and relaxing video.
    Those who have been criticized for your self promotion of your book sounds like they frustrated people or not even accomplished anything in they life so you deserved to do everything what you can for your book because you have some things to be proud and accomplished to fight for. Brava Nicky ❤❤❤❤

    I purchased the paperback version and started reading your self written/published book. So far it is a very good read, good story, and not too far from some folks real lives. I'm sure a lot of folks can relate to the main characters dilemma. Promote the heck out of it, you deserve that, kuddoes to you Nicki on all your accomplishments. There is always going to be nay sayers in our lives, just ignore them, for they know not what they do. Love that you share so much with us and your family too, thank you.

    Hello again. I AGREE with all the positive comments regarding you and your book! You have every right to do that. This is your blog and we are so lucky we get to share every week with you. I see Positano, your yard and swimming pool, you and all your family and it brings me great joy. When you don’t get to experience something so wonderful as that, it is even more meaningful seeing it and sharing it with you all. Like I say all the time, I love Italy, love Positano (what I have seen through your eyes, your videos and narratives. That, too, brings me great joy. Thank you again. Stay proud of your accomplishments. See you next week, I cannot wait. Ciao😊❤

    Promote your book all you want! I totally enjoyed reading it. Those apricots looked scrumptious 🤤 Ugh... walking all those stairs in the hot sun looked brutal, I can't imagine walking them daily or several times a day. No doubt they help keep everyone in tip top shape! 💪

    As others have said, ignore the complainers, it is a feat to be proud of to write a book. I got my copy on Friday and intended to read it this afternoon , but got waylaid with the men's Wimbledon tennis final. It went on for nearly five hours, and there was a big upset, so will start reading this week. I thought Carlo might have been making a bird feeder. Keep cool and get the fans out for next week!!

    Thank you for taking us site seeing with you in town today. We really enjoyed the Book Tour. Please ignore the negative comments. Just keep on with what inspires your to be your authentic self. The same goes for Carlo as well. We love watching the two of you living your best life together. We look forward to next week's vlog.

    Talk, talk about your book. They don't need to watch if they don't want to hear about it. The shot of those stairs is the most unique and fascinating! No wonder you are tired! That was a helpful perspective for me.

    Hi Nicki I have finished reading your book and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was beautifully written and and the descriptions of the area and food were awesome. Not to put too much pressure on you But I hope there is another book coming sometime. Thankyou for all the time and effort you put into writing it ,and thank you to Carlo and your family for their support whilst you wrote it. ♥

    Hi Nicki and Carlo, hope you are coping with those insane temperatures over there! Your fruit and veg look amazing, it's really nice you share this with your family, nothing beats fresh does it! I loved the wriggly puppy at Carlo's parents house😊. I liked the idea of you asking Carlo's mum about her family history, that would make a lovely story. Who better to write it than yourself Nicki❤xx

    📚NICKI, PROMOTE THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!!!🎉You don't have to give an excuse, or reason, or anything; whose channel is this, pretty certain that it's yours, and what did you do, something freaking amazing, that most people don't have the discipline for. Be proud of yourself and most definitely you deserve and have earned the right to self promote. Kudos👏😃

    Nicki - you should really bring a slew of books and set up at a table at Blue Star aread with a picture of yourself as Author and vlogger Nicki Positano and promote/sell your book. If you're present and having am author book signing day, people will buy your wonderful book. I did it for my two books and it worked well and no one knew me. You already have a presence/following and are known. People love meeting "known celebrities" and I think you'd do well. Please call your friend at Blue Star and see if she'd agree. You'd have a lot of trourist traffic. Enjoy.

    Regarding the negative comments: there seems to be boundary crossing haters, criticizes, and mockers in life that just don't go away. I pray that for every negative comment you would sell another 1000 books. Be Blessed!

    I purchased your book and am loving it! Obviously, I am aggravated that anyone would even dare say to you to stop talking or promoting your book! How dare them! Have they worked hard and wrote a book? On top of that, you don’t have “ commercials” on your channel. Thank you so much for sharing what you do. You and Carlo have blessed my husband I and we thank you! If you ever want to visit North Florida, USA let us know…😌

    Loving the hot weather skin care content- A trick for reducing, even eliminating deodorant irritation is to shower & apply it on clean and dry skin the night before… our skin is drier at night and the underarm area will tolerate it much better

    well I bet the naysayers can't write an interesting paragraph let alone a whole book! Loved this episode, seeing the garden, different places downtown, Ariel views, the green bean pasta potatoe dish. It is the simple things in life that make me feel good. Love you and Carlos, Lucas and Skye. Wow that is a lot of steps! Oh yes I'm buying your book and cookbook today.

    Congratulations, Nicky, on your book! I love how they are available around town. Such an inviting cover that fits in so beautifully with the decor of the shops. Don’t worry too much about the naysayers, the majority of your fans are extremely positive and supportive. Don’t give them too much of a platform to air their gripes..because they get off on the power and control of it. Do like the Royal Family, don’t acknowledge them and carry on 😂. It’s like hitting the speed brakes for all the rest of us, swimming along in your lovely videos. ❤ Kudos, Carlo, another brilliant invention! Love the way you built in wooden supports…great colour too! 🎉

    Definitely self-promote your new self-published book! It's great that you're able to display it in shop windows, boat rentals, and other local places as well as to advertise it on your TH-cam blog. I haven't purchased it yet but hope to soon. Meanwhile I enjoyed the beautiful Amalfi coast with boats on the azure blue sea, picking beans, potatoes, and apricots, and skin care products that work best during Italy's heat wave. Thank goodness you can take a dip in your swimming pool to cool off! 🍋🍋🍋🚤📙

    Geez people are so rude! I’m so proud of you 👏🏻. Writing a book is hard work and yes, you are your own promoter so you just talk about it all you want. This is your channel, if they don’t like it then they don’t have to watch it either. I love the variety and all your adventures 😊. I love the idea of talking to the older folks about their past. I wish that I had asked my grandparents more about their life before they were gone.

    Forget about those nay sayers! Writing and publishing your own book is such an accomplishment! Your garden is so lush! The eggplants, beans, potatoes and apricots look so good! Do you have any problems with birds or other animals getting into them? Here in NJ my garden grows, but have problems with squirrels! As always THANK YOU for sharing your daily life with us! You and Carlo take me away to beautiful Positano every week! I always look forward to it!

    I normally don’t read fiction books, but I tell you I cannot put your book down. What an accomplishment, I wouldn’t know where to start. I am loving that you are showing some of these places in the book, as we were in Positano for only one day, unfortunately. Would love to go back and find these places you mention! There are always people that are critical and negative. Please ignore them!

    Congratulations on your book again, I would not worry about the negative people, negative people have their own issues and trying to take it out on anyone, so don't even read their comments when it starts out negative, just ignore them. I love that you gave us some tips on sunscreen and make up, I may try the products you mentioned, next time I am in Positano. I love watching your channel, no matter what you talk about, you guys are always so positive, in everything you do!!

    One thing I noticed when I was in Italy was how common it is for people find ways to make use of things that may be past their original intent, but can still be used in some way, rather than tossing them into the garbage. We started keeping notes about how items were reused in the restaurant bathrooms; our favorite was the toilet flushing mechanism that was made from an old motorcycle throttle. Genius! I wish we did more of that in the US.
