There has always been talk about how to promote your work once you finally get published. If you’re like me, I’d rather write stories – promoting takes effort and time. But a writer must make time and take efforts to create a writing platform.
Oh, I’ve heard it, “Do I really need to have a platform?” No, not really, but then that depends on your goals and aspirations of selling your books.
If you desire – need – want – commercial success and great sales, then I would say, “Yes, having a platform will make all the difference in the world.” It’s irrelevant whether you’re an indie (self-published) or traditional published author. You must decide how you can grab those readers and get exciting exposure for your books if you want to be competitive in the marketplace.
