Are you being told you need an author platform or an online presence but don’t know what the heck that is? Tired of wasting valuable writing time trying to figure things out by yourself? Everyone is offering advice, but not the details you can understand?
You have come to the right place.
The Author’s On-Line Presence is a clear primer covering the topic of an author’s platform and how to use it in language that will have you feeling confident of your abilities. It will start you confidently on the road to finding readers for your work as well as confidently communicating with them.
Barb Drozdowich is the author of 27 books and has a background as a technical trainer. She started teaching in 1986 and has been breaking down complicated subjects for non-technical people ever since.
The Author’s On-Line presence is aimed at beginners and breaks down every part of an author’s platform in language suitable for even the technology challenged.
In this book you will not only learn all about the parts and pieces of a platform, but what the rules are that need to be followed. It will answer the question “why” without overwhelming.
You will learn:
- What is the difference between a blog and a website and why do you need one

- What content is needed on your blog/website to share with readers
- What is Twitter & who uses it?
- What is a Facebook profile, page & group?

- Why is a mailing list so important?
- Most importantly, you will learn how to use an author platform to connect with and communicate with readers
This book is different than the others on this topic. It doesn’t try to convince you it is easy to sell a million copies or that being an author is an easy way to make a living. It isn’t an “I did” book.

As an author always seeking new information to make my platform better, The Author’s Platform has been a great help. It has been particularly helpful in demystifying opportunities like the Book Blog Tours and Goodreads applications.I am excited about pursuing both of those because I see the potential of increasing my presence in the marketplace. Barb Drozdowich has put together a useful guide for any author, new or established. Great job! Thank you.

A great overview of the building blocks for your author platform. Drozdowich takes the time to simply explain the different areas authors should focus on. Highly recommended for new indie authors who are trying to figure out this whole marketing thing.
