Kathleen Ortiz, subrights director and agent at Nancy Coffey Literary Agency, describes why an online author platform is so important and how to get started building one. First, create a website. As early as possible, buy or reserve your name's URL so that it can be used for your website, blog, and social media accounts. Second, consider starting a blog, but only if it makes sense for you and your work. Only blog if you truly have something to say two to three times per week. Third, use Twitter to build a following online and participate in Twitter chats to network and find resources. By starting with these three tasks, you can begin building your online platform to promote your book and yourself as an author.</div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-01-34/KathleenOrtizBuildinganOnlinePlatform.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../KathleenOrtizBuildinganOnlinePlatform.mp4</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
