The Author Blog

You know what I love about Anne R Allen's books? They're so reassuring and filled with such common sense. Like Anne, I'm exhausted by advice about how to build one's platform because it's written from a business person's point of view. A business person with wads of time and cash, apparently. In fact, I once tweeted in despair at one well-known blogging guru that I feel that his advice just exhausts me and that to succeed in anything we have to strive like a dog. Anne's tips for author blogging puts the writer's welfare ahead of her goals. It's designed to enable you to have a life, maintain your health while being a productive writer who can use web tech for your benefit. Lots of useful tips here, and my favourite chapter remains “What to blog about” as her unique is different from a business blog's.
