In order to be successful, you need to follow a strategy of proven social media tactics and take consistent action.

This course will help you define exactly who you want in your audience, find those people, attract them into your social following and email list, and engage them to build trust and credibility…. All using proven social media tactics.

Blogging for Authors

This course will guide you through the steps to becoming a blogging expert!

Blogging has been around since the late 1990s but in recent years it has undergone changes. The blog is not the same as it was twenty years ago.

The word "blog" comes from a shortening of the word "weblog." The weblog of years past was an online journal where a writer might post to their site a couple of times a week or more. Now, the blog has become a robust system of content creation and engagement across multiple platforms including not only the site itself but social media.
