Hello there is peter here again from
writers life and coming up this time how
to boost your author profile like never
before
self-promotion doesn't come naturally to
many writers we are generally shy and
flighty creatures who spend much of our
time trying to prepare ourselves for
rejection failure and all-encompassing
do why would we want to bring more
attention to ourselves when doing so not
only suggests we actually think that our
own work is good god forbid but also our
therefore opening up the possibility of
even more people being able to wade in
and tell us how we are wasting our time
and should definitely give up altogether
all with a heartbreaking dream crushing
grin on their faces the problem is
however that without the willingness to
self promote in this day and age your
chances of furthering your writing
career are basically zero luckily there
is masses of information online and in
books about the different ways we can
promote ourselves as writers it's an art
really and one we must learn if we ought
to keep up building audience and
actually sell our work think of your
author platform as your new book take
your time to think about each and
everything you do you can't expect to
create a fantastic author platform
overnight it takes time to build this
opener to
thanks it but if you put the effort in
you'll see a dramatic difference in the
number of engagements you receive and
ultimately the number of readers who
will become loyal fans of your work
firstly be very clear about who you are
train to targets learn what your readers
want what they are interested in and how
they like to receive information think
about how you want your work to be
viewed and make sure you influence your
readers and direct them to this way of
thinking your message should be
consistent you should have a voice and a
style that people can recognize as yours
make sure you keep tabs on where you're
being mentioned Google Alerts is a
simplest way to do this you can easily
set up several alerts such as your name
and book titles and keep track of when
and where you pop up online this way you
can see your author platform growing
before your very eyes make sure you
think people respond to them when they
mention you too and don't make it all
about me this is the golden rule when it
comes to social media use your platform
to mostly share useful funny
entertaining information and only
promote yourself and your work in
between this if you're writing a bunch
of useful articles that will interest
your audience then that's fine you're
sharing this information for free so
people will be glad of it if every
second tweet is a link to buy your book
however people will lose interest and
see you a socially selfish which is
never a good thing there's nothing wrong
with being a bit of a copycat take a
look at your competition writers in the
same field as you or authors you have
how do they handle their author platform
you can learn so much this way from what
kind of content you should be posting to
how frequently to the tone and style
that you should adopt be engaging
responsive and most importantly yourself
people don't like fake whining all those
who try too hard
authors are not brands they are people
and so should act like them fans of your
work will be interested in you and your
life and what you like to do in your
spare time so make sure you keep it
personal don't assume that no one cares
or wants to listen to what you have to
say spark conversations be friendly and
give something back people are sure to
respect you for that a little by little
this will help your author profile grow
and don't forget if you're struggling to
write or finish your book Alfre writer's
toolkit can help with it you'll learn
how to overcome procrastination get
organized stay focused
find time to write and finally get your
book published to get access now while
it's still available simply go to
