The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

We had Alex on our show in the very early days of BlogcastFM (Why You Have To Write Compelling Content with @thebridgemaker). Since then, he’s accomplished quite a bit, so I figured it was a perfect time to bring him back on the show to tell us what he’s been up to. Here are some highlights from our chat:

  • The Importance of a Consistent Facebook Engagement Strategy
  • Why You Need to Treat Self-Publishing as if You’re Working with a Publisher
  • A Look at How to Develop Your Voice as a Blogger
  • Why Alex Redesigned His Website Prior to the Launch of His Book
  • How You Know When It’s Time to Write a Book
  • The Importance of Working with an Editor for Your Self-Published Book
  • Developing a Promotional Plan for Your Self-Published Book
  • Optimizing Your Amazon Page for Selling Your Book
  • The Advantage of Creating Projects for Everything You Want to Ship
  • Why Relationships Play a Huge Role in the Ability to Publish Your Book
  • The Importance of Making a Physical Copy of Your Book Available Even if You Self-Publish
