A strong platform is crucial for the success of your book, whether you're a seasoned author or an emerging writer. Your platform encompasses your visibility, reach, and influence within your target audience. It’s the foundation on which your book's success is built, affecting everything from securing a publishing deal to driving sales.
Uncovery is the initial step in turning your aspiration of becoming a bestseller into reality. Why is that? Because when you learn more about yourself, your motivations and the people you want to reach, you can better craft not only your platform, but also your book. Successful entrepreneurs and thought leaders carefully plan and strategically architect their careers. These same individuals often have compelling ideas for books that share their success methods, passion, and stories with a larger audience. But many of them dive into writing a book without fully understanding the publishing world, the benefits of a bestselling book, or the pathway to becoming a bestselling author.
Just like a successful career or business, careful planning is essential to landing your book on the bestseller lists. Working with experts like Michael R. Drew provides you with a clear and proven method for building the platform needed to ensure your book's success. By applying strategic approaches used in business, you can significantly increase your chances of making your book stand out among the millions of nonfiction titles published each year.
With over three million nonfiction book titles published annually, differentiation is key. You need to be noticeably different to be seen amid all the other authors whose books are on shelves or online. A strong platform helps you:
Stand Out to Publishers
Publishers assess your existing platform and audience before offering a deal. A significant and dedicated reader group or a large following eager for your message makes you more attractive to publishers.
Generate Buzz
A well-established platform allows you to create excitement around your book before it's even published. Through social media, newsletters, and other channels, you can build anticipation and momentum.
Drive Sales
A loyal audience is more likely to purchase your book, recommend it to others, and leave positive reviews, all of which contribute to higher sales and greater visibility.
