In this course, you’ll get practical and actionable tips on how to use social media effectively and successfully as an author.
Do you find self-promotion "icky"?
Are you uncomfortable putting yourself and your work out there in an assertive (versus aggressive) way?
Are you and/or your publisher working with a very limited budget to properly market and publicize your book?
Are you worried you don't have an existing community as a base for promoting your book?
As an international bestselling author published in 18 language editions, I am here to share all my tips and process on how to leverage social media as an author to boost your book's success.
