Do you have an Author Platform?

I am a huge fan of Dale L. Roberts. He has a wealth of information about self-publishing. I have acted upon his advice several times in the past month. I am sharing a portion of his advice on an Author Platform:

"Building an Author Platform – Book Rescue Season 1 Episode 4
December 13, 2021 by Dale Roberts

What the Heck is an Author Platform?
... your author platform is all the assets you’ve built online to promote yourself as an author, along with your books. Your platform includes, but is not limited to:

- Your website
- Your social media pages and profiles
- Your Amazon Author Central page
- Your book sales pages on various online retailers
- Your email list

Why Do You Need One?
... You must build a brand to make it in self-publishing... By building an author platform, you are securing your brand.

It’s important for you to establish your brand and platform because as long as you rely on Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Vella, those customers aren’t yours. They belong to those respective platforms.

By building a website and opt-in page for your email list, you are capturing your readers and turning them into your customers."
