Building Your Online Author Presence

When it comes to creating an online presence, it’s all about marketing. You are, in a way, selling yourself and your work to an audience, which requires a lot of nuanced choices. Most writers figure out how to get their audience’s attention through years of trial and error. Fortunately, I have done the heavy lifting of working for a marketing agency, so you don’t have to.

his course will cover four major parts of online author platforms that readers want to engage with: branding, websites, social media, and name recognition. We’ll discuss the purpose of forming a brand and you’ll be provided with actionable steps to creating one of your own. We’ll look at popular social media channels to determine which ones work best for you, then learn how to automate your posts for free to reduce time and energy costs. We’ll cover the important elements to include in your website and ways you can make a professional looking website for free. Each of these facets, combined with consistent, small publications, will help to create name recognition and brand loyalty for your author platform.

  • Learn about the importance of branding

  • Actionable steps to create their own author brand
