Authors Need to Build Sustainable Brands

Hi there! :) Welcome to my life. You see, the cosmos is always laughing at me. So, I laugh back, because I have no choice. #iamfoolish

So, as you can see if you read what I wrote yesterday, I realized something horrible. I'll quote myself.

The Great Mediocrity

Pretend this is a certain mammoth online publisher/bookseller

Now, imagine that authors who’ve been screwed over by publishers for years are waiting for someone to acknowledge them. And they want to blame someone, so they blame the Jews publishers.


Now do you understand?

So ... my first thought this morning was, "How the hell am I going to tell this to all the other authors? OMG!"

Well, my second thought, of course, was ...

And I took a shower, which really helped to facilitate my thoughts. Because have a theory about bathrooms and showers, actually. But I digress. Maybe. :)

Now, I have five blogs and I chose to post about this here first, because running a sustainable business is important. And success is about achieving the proper balance between your work, your personal life and your health. Making money is essential to live, but how much money does anyone really need? That is the essential question.

You can always find a way to make more money, if you are able-bodied and capable. However, if you lose your health, it's gone. And there's no way to earn it back.

So ... after my shower, I found these three links I thought all authors ought to know about when it comes to building a sustainable brand.

Growing a successful business.

Stop confabulating!

Ask yourself: do you live a sustainable life?

PS: This has to be the worst sustainability argument/metaphor I've ever read. Ha ha ha ...

PPS: So ... am I a successful ebook author or am I enlisting membership in Amazon's version of the Hitler Youth? Ha ha ha ... #iamfoolish
