Traditional. Independent. Hybrid publishing.

Traditional. Independent. Hybrid publishing.

Doesn’t matter.

The same question shows up every time.

Who’s your audience?

What’s your platform look like?

Everyone from agents to publishers to event organizers is quietly measuring the one thing that matters to the bottom line they have as an anchor.

Your audience reach.

Because in most cases, you bring the audience. You create the movement.

That’s why building your platform before, during, and after publishing isn’t vanity.

It’s honestly your only strategy.

Your audience is the engine that makes your book, business, and brand work together.

So before chasing a deal or designing a cover, you have to sit back and ask yourself.

Would your audience buy your book today?

If not, that’s where the real work begins.

Keep thriving friends!
