TheLiterary Entrepreneur's Toolkit–Building and Managing an Online Presence forAuthors is my latest discovery and another resource I'll be consulting
regularly. I picked up the book because I'd come across the writer's online
business a time or two in the past, so I figured she'd know her stuff.
This book
is a must read for anyone who wants to build and maintain an online presence. It
covers important subjects such as branding, finding readers, and building a
community, plus it explains the various social networks, how they differ, tips
for using each platform and how writers can use them to their advantage. There
are links to 'follow worthy' individuals/influencers for each network, also links
to resources such as web hosting, trailer making, audio platforms, file
storage, video editing and a host of other cool tools. At the end of the book,
there's a reading list.
I've been
using The Literary Entrepreneur's Toolkit as a kind of refresher course on
must-dos and don'ts, and gathering ideas for my own marketing and promotion. Did
I mention how much I've learned about the various networks, even the ones I'm
on, but have been neglecting like LinkedIn and Google+? I'm glad I purchased
this book and would recommend it for every writer who is struggling with
establishing their presence online.
