The Key to Social Media Success: Authenticity

Keeping your social media profiles true to yourself while also representing your brand and/or book is a difficult balance to strike. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok are full to the brim with people and businesses, most delivering daily doses of self-promotion to the masses. So how can you differentiate yourself from the thousands of other voices in this online cacophony? How can you build trust and loyalty with your followers that results in them purchasing your book? The answer is deceptively simple: be authentic.

Why You Should Be Sizing Up Your Competition

Throughout history, virtually every successful civilization has maintained rules against stealing, and few would argue with the idea that taking what does not belong to you is immoral.

Luckily for you as an author, promoting your work doesn’t require you to steal anything. But that doesn’t mean you can’t borrow some good ideas from those who have traveled the publishing road ahead of you. All you need is the wisdom to seek out new and clever ways to promote your book—ways that other authors have already proven effective—and then put your own unique spin on them.
