Hello! My name is O’Cyrus. I’ve been a supporter of your channel for a couple years now and wanted to say thank you for helping my journey as an author expanded expeditiously. It didn’t dawn on me until a few days later but you and I were both part of the SFWC back in February and I was kicking myself when I saw you were present there. I am going back in February 2025. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you!

I’m so happy to have found your channel! I launched a positive affirmation journal earlier this year, and am getting ready to self publish my first poetry book. I appreciate all of the tips that you have provided! Looking forward to viewing more of your videos as I move forward with my latest project. Thank you! 10:56
Brilliant and practical insights, as usual. I wish I had this before I self-published my first book. MUCH appreciation for sharing this before my next book! Thanks!

Great tips on branding. The idea of a consistent color scheme is utilized throughout the product marketing industry. I'll be redoing my website and I will be paying extra attention to the coloration. Thanks so much.

Ok, that list is great. Now I know what I need to do. The next things on my list are to improve engagement, and collaboration. Thank you! (Also THANK YOU for answering one of my facebook friends’ urgent questions while I was asleep! That was a huge help!❤)

Hi. My name is Jeanine Jones. I just wanted to write to let you know that I loved this video. It was just the kind of information I needed. I’m a retired Clinical Social Worker who is writing her first book. I have a blog that I began in 2015 but was unable to create consistently for due to work and health reasons. The blog is still operational but I haven’t posted in a couple of years. Do you think that I could use that blog to begin developing my author platform and brand? The content of the book and blog are both about mental health for those people who are stressed and for mental health professionals to help their clients. I plan to connect with Book Launchers to help with my publishing. Thanks!
Hi Jeanie - thanks for saying hello!! I have a video on blogs I'll post in a minute. What I will say is that it's a slow way to develop a platform! First, I would like to invite you into our free group: www.skool.com/selfpublishingbooks/about It will help you and give you some support until you're ready to work with us! Here's the video on blogs: th-cam.com/video/8Gtyj-anHlY/w-d-xo.html
Julie, Thank you for replying. I will check out both the group and the website video. You have such valuable information, especially as I am learning from "scratch."
Julie, thank you for sharing this video! I would love to hear about launching a book on Kickstarter or a similar crowdfunding platform. Have you our your team ever done this before? If so, do you think you have any tips?
Thank you so much this is very timely information for me as I finish up the last quarter of draft number one! I have a question about collaborators: if I want to collaborate with someone and my audience is a lot smaller than theirs, what other things might I be able to offer to that collaborator that are of value?
My suggestion is to find a way to build a relationship with them. The best is to do it in person - so if they are going to an event. Second best is to just be present online on everything they do and find out what is important to them. It takes leg work but you may uncover something you can help them with because you have a skill or a connection. I'm doing a live with Dale Roberts on Tuesday to talk about networking for authors - that will be a good one to watch too!
There is a lot to think about, but once your brand has been decided, all materials will easily come together. I'm glad your team will be there to help us.

Hi! That is not something we have done. We have supported a few clients that did it but we weren't strategically or tactically involved in it.
Great video and reminders! I’m in my pre-order period and it’s confusing. Need all the help I can get!
It is a crazy time but you'll get through it! I'm very excited for your book launch - you're already off to a fabulous start!
