The new year is right around the corner. How will you define “success” as an author in 2018?

For our purposes here, I define success as “making an impact” with your words, ideas, and stories.

In other words, it’s the level at which you touch people and bring value to their lives through your message and books. To reach that point you must expose your creative work and connect with people.

Listen to this episode or watch this video for my best advice on how to do that in 2018.

I feel so strongly about this I decided to launch the 30-Day Build Your Fan Base Challenge to help you (and me) share our work on a consistent basis.

This four-week program starts January 3, 2018.

A Request for Your Help!

We live in uncertain times. Lots of friction, dissent and finger-pointing. I don’t know about you, but I think music, art, poetry, prose and all forms of creative expression are more important than ever before.

That’s one of the reasons I’m on a mission to educate, inspire and empower musicians, writers, artists, and other creative people around the world.

And there’s something simple you can do to help with that effort ...

Please visit my Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/bobbaker – where you can support the Empowered Artist Movement.

I’ve never relied on publishers or corporate backers to fund my mission. I rely on the meaningful relationships I develop directly with readers and fans like you.

Have I added value to your life? Through a book, blog post, podcast, video, course, workshop, or personal conversation?

Consider supporting my ongoing mission to educate and empower creative people around the world.

Book Marketing 2018: The Power of Consistent Exposure (Episode 18)

This episode is all about the surprising benefits of consistently sharing your creative work. I examine two case studies: Jonathan Coulton and Emily Hope Price, as well as my own history as an author, publisher, and prolific content creator.

Bottom line: When you commit to regularly sharing your message ... you create opportunities to get exposure, attract fans, and make more of an impact with your books.
