Podcast guest appearances are a way to raise visibility. Podcast hosts will share on social media and ask you to do the same.

You will reach an audience beyond your normal social scope.

That audience will know you are an author, the title of your book, and how to reach you.

What's that worth?

Promote Your Uniqueness what makes an author unique, what makes an author stand out, what makes an author different than the next

Promote Your Uniqueness

One of the greatest things about you, author, is that you are one-of-a-kind. There is no one else like you on this planet, and there is no one who does things quite like you do.

β€œSo please, oh please, we beg, we pray,
Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place you can install
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books.”

- Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Create and maintain an up-to-date author website.

Give your site visitors a reason to bookmark your website.

Set a calendar reminder to thoroughly review your website every 6 months for outdated information, broken links, etc.

You can pay for an audit or swap with another author.

β€œMcIntosh admirably declares what we should already know about memoir: the best of them erase the self in the name of something more profound. Here that something is an unsentimental kindness for the world of literature.”

How about you, author? Take that leap of faith to a difficult task: blogging, book marketing, etc.

Don't underestimate the power of blog posts.

Your subscriber willingly shared their email to receive your blog posts.

The bonus is shareable content. It's a great idea to have the option for your reader to directly share your post with their social media followers.

How about that reach?

A great attitude does such more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed.
