\"ASK<\/a>As part of my Ask The Writer<\/a> series, I put a callout on Facebook<\/a> for questions about building your author platform.<\/p>\n

I answer all of these (and more! Much more!) in my new course for the Australian Writers’ Centre (Build Your Author Platform: How To Boost Your Brand and Grow Your Fan Base<\/a>) but here are the top 5 most burning questions, as asked by my Facebook community. You’ll note I’ve bundled a few together here…<\/p>\n

What’s the purpose of the author platform? To just showcase my books or to get to know people or something else? \u2013\u00a0Rebecca<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your author platform is about building your profile and creating a brand for yourself. It’s about creating a solid community, full of people who are interested in you, your work and what you have to say. It gives you an opportunity to showcase your books, yes, but it’s also about creating other opportunities for yourself as a writer AND\u00a0sharing the work of others.\u00a0It\u2019s about building a place for yourself within the writing and publishing world.<\/p>\n

As an unpublished writer, how do I build an author platform without feeling like a fraud? \u2013 Vanessa<\/strong><\/p>\n

I get it. I know the feeling well. When I started my blog ‘Life In A Pink Fibro’ more than six years ago, I was a freelance writer, with a couple of non-fiction books to my name. What I really wanted to be, however, was an author of fiction \u2013 but all I had in that area was a couple of unpublished manuscripts. I think the key to busting through that ‘fraud’ feeling is to be honest. Find people in the same boat as you on Twitter and Facebook and make friends. Share each others’ blog posts.<\/p>\n

I cannot emphasise enough the importance of creating a community around yourself, and the way to do that is to share things that interest you, write posts that interest you (and others) and BE interested in what other people are doing.<\/p>\n

Never underestimate the importance of ‘social’ in social media and never forget that you’re making connections every single day. It all adds up over time.<\/p>\n

How to draw more subscribers to your blog. \u2013 Josh<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no doubt that it is very noisy out there in blog land these days. But the old methods of building your blog remain. Use social media to promote your posts. Share other people’s posts. Comment on other blogs. Make connections with others on social media – and by that I mean actually talk to people. I love people who talk to me on Twitter and Facebook and I know that other bloggers and authors do too.<\/p>\n

Actively follow new people on Twitter – some experts suggest at least 10 a day, and if you’re building your following, that’s probably about right. Use key word searches to find people who might be interesting – and interested in what you’re doing, too. (Tip: DON’T just follow other writers or your world will be very small…)<\/p>\n

Also, back to basics: make sure your blog address is prominent on your social media pages (Twitter and Facebook). I went looking for yours on Facebook, Josh, and it wasn’t immediately obvious. Also, promote your posts via social media – again Josh (sorry to single you out but you did ask!), I scrolled your Twitter and Facebook pages today and no blog post links jumped out at me. Use a social media scheduling tool such as Buffer or Hootsuite to help keep older posts in circulation, particularly if they’re relevant to a book launch or similar.<\/p>\n

Remember, you can post the same link on Twitter, in particular, three or four times in one day because people are dipping in and out. Don’t be shy.<\/p>\n

Will people get sick of me if I post on Facebook and Twitter every day? \u2013 Karen<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to connect with more readers and other writers through your author FB page? \u2013 Barb
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not very good at being friendly on Twitter. Any\u00a0tips? \u2013 Tegan<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to use Twitter effectively. \u2013 Dale<\/strong><\/p>\n

See my answer above. I’ve bundled these together because the answers come down to three basic rules.<\/p>\n

1. Be yourself.<\/strong> Whether you’re on Twitter or Facebook, be yourself – the best version of yourself. Don’t try to be ‘an author’. Just be you.<\/p>\n

2. Post often<\/strong>. People will not get sick of you if you post every day. In fact, most of your followers won’t see anything you post if you only post once a day on either. Facebook’s algorithm is a weird and wonderful thing, but the key here is post a few different kinds of posts at least once or twice a day. By that I mean, text only, a blog link (yours or others), photo, question.. mix it up. Same with Twitter.<\/p>\n

3. Talk to people<\/strong>.\u00a0If someone you follow puts out an interesting tweet or post, then respond or RT or share or comment or like or .. something. Twitter and Facebook reward engagement, so engage!<\/p>\n

How an author platform equates to book sales \u2013 Eleanor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, now, Eleanor, this is the big question, isn’t it? And the truth is, there’s no hard data that says if you do X then you’ll sell Y number of books. All I can say is that the onus of book promotion is falling more and more on authors these days, and that setting up a platform well in advance puts you in a much better position as far as that is concerned.\u00a0The fact is that\u00a0word of mouth is the best way to sell books – and an author platform offers you the opportunity to create amplified word of mouth.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen for myself the incredible reaction that a solid community can have when a book is launched – and The Mapmaker Chronicles <\/a>series is selling very well. I’ve also been lucky enough to have had terrific backing from Hachette Australia<\/a>, my publisher. Would the books have sold as well without the work I’ve put into my author platform? Who knows? All I know is that I’m glad I didn’t leave it to chance.<\/p>\n
