Have you ever noticed how some brands seem to draw in customers and create a buzz without relying solely on likes, shares, or follows? Recent studies have shown that an emphasis on community-building is the secret sauce for success!
To help us better understand this concept, Shayla - who's been part of the writing world for 10+ years with her own successful social media presence – joined me in discussing key principles as well as platform specific tips. As if that wasn't enough we even delved into mindset and limiting beliefs along our author journey.
A self-publishing mentor, best-selling author, and public speaker, Shayla Raquel works one-on-one with writers every day. A lifelong lover of books, she has been in the publishing industry for twelve years and teaches on author branding, indie publishing, book marketing, and the craft of writing.
Her award-winning blog teaches new and established authors how to write, publish, and market their books.
She is the author of the Pre-Publishing Checklist, “The Rotting” (in Shivers in the Night), The Suicide Tree, The 10 Commandments of Author Branding, All the Things I Should’ve Told You, and “Savage Indulgence.” In her not-so-free time, she studies all things true crime and obsesses over squirrels. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband and three fur babies.
