What's Your Brand?
Abstract
A mini workshop to help authors identify their author brand and ideas for creating their social media presence.
Detailed Synopsis
While raising the number of social media followers isn’t a magic formula for selling books or gaining traction with agents and publishers, it is a trust signal to the people buying your books that you are an 'in real life' person whom they can relate to.
One of the questions I get asked the most is how do I know what to post? How do I change what I post depending on the platform? But most importantly, what do you mean I need a brand?
Topics Covered
- Brief overview of why use social media and when
- Activities to help you (whether published or not) to identify your brand
- How to extend this to creating content for marketing
- Application to social media
