And get the pay off! In order to establish a vigorous, effective online presence and build productive connections that can boost your audiobook earnings, you’ve got to be a regular.
It won’t work to build a few profiles, connect with a handful of people, and then sit back and watch. Your online identity requires consistent care and attention if it’s going to produce results that you can measure.
After all, the goal here is to keep inspiring people to buy your audiobook, and, in turn, drive up your earnings and royalty rates.
