How to Build Your Author Platform

Today my guest is Jonny Andrews. My first interview with him
about Embracing The Darkside Of Self Publishing
Success is still one of the most popular episode of the
podcast. This time we did a Blab together and spoke about how to
build an author platform.


Food for Thought


Books are a commodity at this point.


You have to create daily ritual around creation of the thing that
needs to be sold.


Figure out what you wanna write first.


Running giveaways are the fastest road to get bigger results.


Give away your first book for free. You give it away so people
can sample you.


Don't target giveaway sites.


The first book always takes the longest.


You're not gonna make living on one book usually.


Come up with more stuff more often.


Being an author has become about generating leads.
