Today my guest is Jonny Andrews. My first interview with him about Embracing The Darkside Of Self Publishing Success is still one of the most popular episode of the podcast. This time we did a Blab together and spoke about how to build an author platform.

Food for Thought

Books are a commodity at this point.

You have to create daily ritual around creation of the thing that needs to be sold.

Figure out what you wanna write first.

Running giveaways are the fastest road to get bigger results.

Give away your first book for free. You give it away so people can sample you.

Don't target giveaway sites.

The first book always takes the longest.

You're not gonna make living on one book usually.

Come up with more stuff more often.

Being an author has become about generating leads.
