I won’t deny that a platform helps. I have author friends who are master marketers and use Twitter and blogging very effectively to get noticed. I don’t believe a platform is essential, though. I get a lot of sales from the architecture of Amazon’s sale pages — tags and also-boughts — that enable readers to find my book with no help from me.

Would I sell more with a platform? Yes.
Is my book viable without a platform? Yes.

Thanks for the comment.

The only problem with rejecting the importance of an author platform is that so many publishers insist on it. Big time. And if you decide to publish yourself, you’re going to need some numbers on social media for people to find you to buy your book, right? Wish it were not so, because I would much rather concentrate on writing a remarkable book.

You’re definitely correct on sales tracking. I’m beyond obsessed. LOL

I’m an aspiring filmmaker. I sort of just stumbled upon your post, and I’m glad I did. Great stuff! Thanks Steve!
