A recent viewing of an old Twilight Zone episode reminds me that authors need to promote their uniqueness – rather than try to sound like every other author.
The television episode in question was one about beauty and how we all should look beautiful. Everyone, upon turning 18, can get a face and body lift, choosing from a number of models. A young lady doesn’t want to look like everyone else, even if it means she remains with average looks. But society forces her into it and out pops another beautiful woman. But is she really beautiful if she looks like everyone else?
Authors must make sure they don’t start wearing Michael Jackson’s nose, Jennifer Aniston’s hair, and Kim Kardashian’s ass, meaning they will have to take a personalized, unique, targeted approach for their marketing, publicity, and branding. One needs to stick out – not blend in – when it comes to books.
Twitter is a powerful tool for an author to use as part of their author platform. It is a free and easy to use announcement platform that can be tailored to supplement your book launches, let your readers know where your latest article or story has published, and a great way to show support to fellow authors or causes you love. Many people like to use Twitter to stay up to date with the news of the day or to follow people that interest them, but that should all be done on your personal Twitter account. As an author, you should have a twitter account that is linked with your blog and other writer social media outlets that serve more like an announcement feed and remains free of personal comments except for those related to your writing process or about your stories and work in general.

In a world where nothing seems simple because there’s so much to do, when it comes to marketing a book, I think, sometimes, we make it more complicated than it is. Let’s look at a few points…
1. You are a reader, not just a writer.
2. You buy books.
3. You don’t have millions of dollars or millions of hours to buy or read every single book.
You are some author’s audience that he or she is trying to connect with. You make choices on which books to read, to check out from the library, and to buy from a bookstore.

Can we all agree that launching a book can be…a bit terrifying?
I’ve released six with co-author Becca Puglisi and we’re about to launch book seven. Those figurative butterflies? Yeah, they never go away. But guess what–this is actually a good thing! A touch of nerves keeps us alert, more apt to be prepared, and will cause us to think deeper about marketing methods that make a book launch easier.
On that note, one of the smartest marketing moves is to build a Street Team. This group of excited and highly motivated individuals have one important mission: to help you, the author, succeed.

The post 276: How to Start a Successful Podcast appeared first on ProBlogger.
Do you already have a blog, and want to expand into another medium? Then why not start a podcast?
A lot of our Facegroup members have asked questions about starting a podcast, especially about gear, content, engagement, hosting, launching and monetization.
And to help me answer all those questions I called on an expert.
Craig Hewitt is the founder of Podcast Motor and Castos. When Craig started his own podcast, he quickly discovered that audio editing and producing a podcast was a pain. So he started Podcast Motor to help others.
The technicalities of podcasting almost stopped me from starting the ProBlogger podcast. That’s why I turned to Craig and his team to handle them.
Some of you have asked what it’s like to take the indie author road instead of traditional publishing. So I’ll tell you. It’s a bit like typing in Spanish with one hand and Greek with the other, while you’re blindfolded and going fifty-five on a hoverboard. Except with less nausea and bloodshed. I kid, of course. It’s worse than that. Why do it, then? Because I can. Because I like to be in control of my work. I’ve been self-publishing for seven years now—long enough to learn a few things, and also long enough to realize there’s a lot I still don’t know. Here are a few things I’ve learned in my seven years of independence.
1. It helps to stay current.The publishing market is always changing. Sales outlets change; advertisers change; Amazon algorithmsreallychange. What worked like gangbusters for one author one day might be a flat…
