HOW TO BUILD YOUR AUTHOR BRAND 📸 tips for how to build a brand and connect with readers 

Natalia, do you know if in terms of email for business only how you should share that? If online in what way? I just want to make sure that when it comes to business inquiries I receive through email however with my email, since I plan to use a pen name, it might not work out since it's in my actual name. Any tips?

Winner winner winner! 🏆

I'll add marketing to my list of video ideas to film, because there's sooo much to say!

Hey Natalia, thanks for the great video. I had a question if you don't mind. What's your opinion on whether to pick a single genre to write on or multiple? Right now I'm all over the place, writing scifi, comedy, and horror. Do you think it's better to stick to one genre and market towards that or be more versatile?

Latisha Austin I think it’s definitely something that comes over time. People that do youtube have a bit of an “easier” time because they’re putting their face and voice out there so people can connect even more to that. Whereas on twitter and fb its usually all text based interaction which can feel a bit impersonal. I’m not saying that what you’re doing isn’t going to work, i think it’ll just be a bit of a waiting game. So stick to it! I’m sure you’re doing an amazing job ❤️

@@EmilyOlivieri Thanks for the encouragement. I figured as much but it never hurts to hear it again. I want to start a RU-vid channel of my own but I'm not to that stage yet. I'm still working on de-cluttering my life and finding a balance for everything that I have going on now. Once all that is settled, then perhaps I'll be in a good place (and know what to do) for a RU-vid channel.

Chatopenai comments. What do you think?: Chatopenai: Self-published authors can register a trademark for their brand with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and also register their brand on Amazon's Brand Registry program. While it's not a requirement, there are benefits to registering a trademark and enrolling in Amazon's Brand Registry. Benefits of registering a trademark include: Legal protection: A registered trademark provides legal protection for the author's brand name, logo, or slogan. It gives the author the exclusive right to use the mark in connection with their goods or services and to prevent others from using a similar mark that may cause confusion among customers. Brand recognition: A registered trademark can help create brand recognition for the author's work, as well as establish their reputation in the market. Credibility: A registered trademark can add credibility to the author's work, as it shows that they are serious about their brand and their business. Benefits of enrolling in Amazon's Brand Registry include: Control over product listings: Enrolling in Amazon's Brand Registry gives the author more control over their product listings, including the ability to create their own product detail pages and better manage their product descriptions and images. Protection against counterfeiters: Amazon's Brand Registry provides tools to help authors protect their brand from counterfeiters and unauthorized sellers, including the ability to remove listings that infringe on their trademark. Enhanced marketing opportunities: Enrolling in Amazon's Brand Registry may provide access to enhanced marketing opportunities, including the ability to create sponsored product ads. There are some potential negatives to consider as well, including the cost of registering a trademark and the time and effort required to manage and maintain it. Additionally, there may be fees associated with enrolling in Amazon's Brand Registry, and authors will need to provide evidence of their trademark registration and meet certain eligibility requirements. Overall, while registering a trademark and enrolling in Amazon's Brand Registry may not be necessary for all self-published authors, there are potential benefits to doing so, particularly for those who are serious about establishing and protecting their brand.
