Building Your Online Author Image

A guide to creating an engaging, professional, and consistent online image across multiple platforms.

Welcome!

Meet your instructor Valerie Biel and learn how the Author Pro courses are designed to make 
your writing and publishing journey easier and less stressful! 

Overview

How you present yourself online is a key component to your success as an author.
The first impression people form about you will often come from digital sources like your website, social media accounts, book sales’ websites, blog and more. 

In this course, you'll learn the importance of a consistent, engaging, and professional online image across multiple platforms. We'll address best practices, tips, and tools to make setting up your digital image as easy as possible, focusing specifically on: 
  • Website design
  • Blogs/newsletters (including email subscription services)
  • Book sales' sites (like Amazon)
  • Goodreads
  • Social media accounts (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/LinkedIn/YouTube)
  • Writing Association Membership Websites
Each area is presented in a separate module, so it is easy to take one thing at a time and start and stop as needed. The course remains available to you to return to at any time to review material. I'll also be available to answer questions submitted via email.

Do you already have an established online image?
This course will work well for you, too. You can use the tutorials as a way to tidy up what you already have in place and learn what's new.

The course includes: 14 video tutorials with more than 2.5 hours of instruction plus 5 detailed resource handouts. (Scroll down for the full course outline.)
