#3: Building an Author Platform: Creating and Expanding Your Online Presence to Connect With Readers

Listen Later
Building a thriving author platform can draw more people to your books...

Are you wondering how people can find you and your books online? Are you avoiding posting about your books multiple times on your personal social media accounts because you don't want your friends to get "book fatigue"? Are you trying to market your books without spending a ton of money for inconsistent results?

Don't worry! Getting eyes on your books IS possible - and you don't have to be "spammy" to do it!

In this episode, I'll cover:

  • how to choose which platforms to use based on your available time
  • what graphics are necessary to get set up
  • endless possibilities for posts no matter if you're writing fiction or nonfiction, and
  • how to get started and post consistently, even if you're an introvert like me and don't want to be in front of the camera.

    • Finally, I'll challenge you with this week's action item with a 7-day implementation plan of only 15 minutes a day to get up and running consistently!
