In this episode, I’ll tell you the what to say to your audience of readers, and introduce you to what’s inside a content plan that’ll keep you on track to communicate with consistency and intention. And so, here we are, in the third and final installment of the 3-part series I call, Content Marketing Basics for Children’s Book Authors. The series began with episode 4, which explained the first most important thing to know about creating content and that’s Who is the ideal reader that you want to reach. A free workbook on how to find your ideal reader can still be downloaded from the show notes of that episode. If you haven’t already gone there, make that your next stop after listening to this one.

In this episode, I’ll tell you the where to share content you create for your readers, and tips to keep you from getting overwhelmed by managing too many social media accounts. I’m over the moon with joy about that because creating a podcast has long been on my heart. It’s taken various alternate shapes over the years, too. First, I thought I wanted the podcast to be about one thing, then I thought I wanted it to be about something totally different. Finally, I landed on creating a podcast to support a mission and a purpose and it all sorta just came together. Sure, it was hard work gearing up to do it, but all the hard work has been entirely worth it.

In this episode, I’ll give you the secret to how you know who to aim all of your marketing efforts toward, and I’ll walk you through a quick exercise to help you zone in on them. Today’s show starts a series that is all about content. Big questions have been raised about who to create content for, and what your options are for choosing the best way to connect online with your ideal readers. These questions came, by the way, from authors that I’m connected to on Instagram and Facebook when I asked them what they may want to learn more about when I release The Children’s Book Marketing Podcast.
