Getting Noticed by Building Your Digital Presence

Workshop Overview:
Are you struggling to get noticed? Having a hard time standing out? Tired of being overlooked, undervalued, and practically invisible as an author? Then it’s time to build a digital presence and make a name for yourself online.

You’ve devoted today to seek out those ideas, grab some resources, and network with the right people to do one thing: get noticed, so you can get published and get going. We’re going to use our time together to focus on accomplishing that very thing.

The key to standing out is having a PROFESSIONAL digital presence. Please note the emphasis on PROFESSIONAL!

We live in a day when people make decisions based on their online experience. They will probably decide if they want to buy your book by jumping on Google, searching for your name, the title of your book, or something they may have heard about you, and they will judge you and your book(s) based on what they find. Publishers want to know if you have a social presence. Do you have a blog? What about a website?

You may say that you already have those. That’s great! Is your site secure, not only for you, but for your visitors? Are you listening to your readers, or are you using your blog just to sell your book? How often do you post to social media? How often should you post?

Now is the time to learn where to start, what’s important, and ways to fix it if it’s “broke”.

So join me in these two workshops as we take you from web, to blog, to social. Bring along paper and a pen, hot coffee or tea, and get ready to move, not like a marathon, but like a sprint, as we get you noticed in this digital age.
