“Own your story, build your brand, and share it with the world—your author journey starts here.”
Authors- How To Brand You and Your Books
by Jolene MacFadden
Genre: Non-Fiction, Author Self-Help
Digital Marketing Assistance for the Business Challenged Writer
One of the most difficult tasks for any creative talent is to effectively brand ourselves and our stories.
This book will help you.
From websites to the most popular social media platforms, I have experienced it all, and will provide you with most of the tips and tricks I have learned through the years. This book will also help you gain some basic understanding behind the ‘why you should do these tasks yourself’. It has become a requirement in today’s publishing climate for both indie and traditionally published authors to have a social media presence. This book will show you the different places you should be spending your valuable time to, hopefully, be most effective at connecting with your readers and make more sales. I include some great ideas on what to post, how often, and when. (Of course, you do what is best for you and your schedule)
The main goal is to inform, encourage, and to show you that YOU CAN DO THIS or you, your readers, and your professional book writing business
