Working with numbers is powerful!

You are smart to focus on building your platform as that is the foundation for everything.

All the best,

I’m so glad Sandy asked you to guest blog – she’s an amazing gal.

I am presently building my platform with my books and speaking, so connecting with other authors and speakers is always helpful. Your tips and links will help me continue to build my network. Plus, I was drawn to your “21” theme, as I’m also working with the auspicious number 21. Would love to swap insights about it sometime!

Namaste,
Michael Thomas Sunnarborg

Sandra says it perfectly, the number of times you blog is a strategic decision. Having an attractive, branded, up to date blog, allows you to put your best foot forward and will attract people to your site.

Kayleen, how often you should blog depends on how much time you have, what you have to say, how much work you can put into driving traffic to what you say, etc. For authors, 2xs/wk should be enough and once/wk would be OK, too.

It’s good to know my website meets your specs, but I’m going to fine-tune it this summer. So we should blog more than 2x/week? I wonder if ppl would read it if it was more often. I’ve used a professionally filmed vid of me talking about my career as a children’s book author and posted it on Vimeo as a reference for ppl.
