Build Your Author Platform: An Introvert Author's Guide to Marketing Your Writing. (How to Self-Publish) Kindle Edition

by Laura Kortum (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Part of: How to Self-Publish (2 books)

You've published your first book and are eager to take that next step: getting some visibility for it and for yourself. But whenever you hear the world 'marketing' it sends a chill down your spine, leaving you frozen in indecision about how to proceed.

Worry not. You don't have to be a sleazy salesman to market yourself. You also don't have to bumble your way through the process and look like an amateur.

In this guide, you'll learn about all the essential building blocks of a successful and professional-looking author platform, including:

What even is an Author platform?
Present yourself: A great bio, photograph, etc.
Claiming your author pages on Amazon etc.
Basics of author Websites
Social media for introverts
Newsletters and mailing lists
Automation FTW!

More than all of the above, this guide also deals with the most important question of all: what's the absolute minimum an introvert such as yourself can get away with? Marketing can become a fulltime job if you let it, but we're writers. And so we want to have plenty of time left over for writing, don't we?

Let's begin!

Author, Book Formatter, Publishing Coach. Not necessarily in that order… As part of my upcoming How To Self-Publish series, I intend to lay out a comprehensive overview of what it takes to self-publish in the current publishing environment. Whether it’s your first book or your 10th…

Nowadays, everyone claims to be an expert. As a result, there is a ton of conflicting advice that gets doled out to first-time authors. The Gold Rush of the 2010s is over and we’re an established industry now. That means that in order to succeed, you need a good plan and even better advice…

That's where my books come in. No fluff, no nonsense. Just practical advice to get you from aspiring writer to self-published author.
