February: Platforms Aren't Shoes: Start Marketing BEFORE You Finish That Book!
Platforms Aren't Shoes: Start Marketing BEFORE You Finish That Book!
February 1 - 29; Fee: $30
Many unwary authors wait to slip on an author platform, like a pair of new shoes, at their book launch. Then they cry when their masterpiece doesn't sell. Why didn't the book sell? Was it poorly written? Was it out of touch with the reader? Nope. The reason was that the average author platform takes three years to build. THREE YEARS! So if you didn't start building your platform before the book hit the stores, it would likely just sit there. On the shelf. Lonely.
What does that mean for you? That means book sales will suffer. That means your publisher will frown. It might mean you won't get renewed.
And here's the question you are asking.... "But how do I build a platform when I don't have a finished book?"
Well, what if you had the tools? A plan? A method to implement them together?
In fact, what if you could develop your book's characters, your backstory and your marketing葉ogether?
Doing the same activities. And possibly have some fun.
Maybe someday your publisher would smile and each book would go to a loving home.
It could happen.... if you take this class.
Cost: $30
