What an Author Platform REALLY Is (and why some “experts” get it wrong)
Hello Rebels and welcome back to my life!
So today is Writer Wednesday, the day when I talk about tips and tricks for indie authors. Today I want to talk not about writing, but about part of the self-publishing process: building your author platform.
The Author Platform is a very hot buzzword in self-publishing. Everyone knows you need one. Lots of people offer advice on how to build one. Some of that advice is bad, but some of it is very, very good.
But a lot of people misunderstand WHAT a platform is—even platform building experts. And what’s REALLY weird is that I’ve seen advice from some platform-building experts that’s GOOD advice, and WORKS—but almost on accident.
