Authors! Want to market your book, whether it's released or upcoming?
Every Wednesday, for the next 100 weeks, I will share 1 task for you to do. And a social post idea for you that you can post when that task is completed, with a caption that you can steal! Just copy/paste it from here, and maybe give it a tweak and make it your own!
And there's no task that you'll see here that will take more than a week. Even this first one - which is to build an Author Website.

Your author bio is more than an introโ€”itโ€™s your vibe and your pitch, and it needs to feel consistent everywhere.

Think Neil Gaiman: his bios are clever, mysterious, and totally him. Readers instantly know theyโ€™re in for a ride. Now, imagine Sarah, a romance author, whose bio says, โ€œSarah loves coffee and sunsets.โ€ Cute, but forgettable. What if she said, โ€œI write love stories thatโ€™ll make you swoon, laugh, and maybe DM your ex at 2 AMโ€? Instantly more memorable.

Your bio should:
Show off your personality.
Match your tone, everywhere.
Hook readers before they even meet your books.

When done, pop that on your website page alongside your image. Then head over to Canva and create a quick graphic with your shortest version of the bio and post that on your social. or b) take a screenshot of your website's 'about author' section, then post it alongside the caption you see on this post.

Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Do more. Iterate later.

Your brand isnโ€™t just your bookโ€™s coverโ€”itโ€™s your entire digital vibe.

Think about Brenรฉ Brown. Her website, Instagram, even her TED Talks all speak the same language: courage, vulnerability, and connection. Or Malcolm Gladwellโ€”his quirky storytelling style flows through his podcasts, books, and every interview he gives. Their branding isnโ€™t just about visuals; itโ€™s a full-on experience.

Now, picture this: You stumble on an authorโ€™s social media. Their profile photo looks professional, their posts feel authentic, and their website matches their vibe perfectly. You instantly think, โ€œWow, theyโ€™ve got it together.โ€ Thatโ€™s the trust a cohesive digital brand builds.

On the flip side, if their Instagram feels chaotic, their website is clunky, and their book cover doesnโ€™t match their tone? Itโ€™s like walking into a messy storeโ€”youโ€™re out of there fast.

Your digital presence is how you connect with readers before they buy your book. Every post, tweet, and email should echo your story and your values. Itโ€™s not just about being seenโ€”itโ€™s about being remembered.

Does your brand scream โ€˜proโ€™ or โ€˜uh-ohโ€™?

Readers trust authors who look the part. Hereโ€™s why a polished brand isnโ€™t just a nice-to-haveโ€”itโ€™s a NEED:

Your book cover, website, and social media are like a store window. If itโ€™s messy, people walk by. If itโ€™s polished, they stop and browse.

โœจ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ถ๐˜:
A professional brand whispers (or shouts), โ€œI know my stuff!โ€ Whether itโ€™s fiction or a how-to, readers want to feel confident picking up your book.

Hereโ€™s the hard truth: Most authors wonโ€™t retire off book sales. Even bestsellers rarely rake in enough to live comfortably on royalties alone. But that doesnโ€™t mean your book isnโ€™t valuable. Its true worth lies in how you use it.

Think of your book as a toolโ€”not the whole toolbox, but a shiny, impressive tool that opens doors, builds credibility, and amplifies your message.

If youโ€™re a speaker, your book can get you on more stages. If youโ€™re a coach, it positions you as an expert, making clients trust you faster. If youโ€™re an entrepreneur, itโ€™s a business card on steroids, showcasing your authority and helping you land bigger deals.

Take Brenรฉ Brown as an example. Her books didnโ€™t make her famous by themselves. She used them to build a platform: TED Talks, workshops, a Netflix special, and a thriving leadership business. The book wasnโ€™t the end goalโ€”it was the launchpad.

Your book can:

Build trust with your audience.
Attract opportunities, from speaking gigs to collaborations.
Create a legacy that extends beyond sales numbers.
The real magic happens when your book supports everything else you do. Itโ€™s not the cow; itโ€™s the spark that lights the whole farm on fire (in a good way).

So, ask yourself: How are you using your book to build your brand, grow your business, and create impact? Because thatโ€™s where its true value lies.

Your brand = your vibe. Itโ€™s the first impression readers get before they even crack open your book. Hereโ€™s why uniform branding is non-negotiable:

We discover and develop a deep admiration for an author long before we even pick up their book. Think about the countless times you have stumbled upon an interview with an author and thought, "Wow, I absolutely must read their book."

Now, ponder the present-day authors you are familiar with. What is it about them that captivates you? What compels you to repeatedly purchase their books? Of course, the storyline of their works may pique your interest initially, but that alone might not be sufficient to persuade you to make the purchase.

With that in mind, try answering... what qualities do you, as an author, possess that make you relatable, intriguing, and worth taking a chance on? THAT is what you should market. The authentic you. The passionate you. The real you.
