More about that here. For instance, I blog about craft on Monday, Twitter on Tuesday, Social Media on Wednesday and anything goes on Friday. Readers know that if they want to read about craft, then Friday ain’t the day to find nifty lessons about character arc. I blog on different subjects and yet others live to tell the tale. We don’t have to have entirely separate sites to keep readers from getting confused. Readers are sharp. That is also the reason everything must be under the banner of our brand, which is out name.

Cutesy monikers will collapse a platform and render all of our tweets meaningless busy work. The only acceptable Twitter handle is the name that will be printed on the front of our books. Readers cannot buy a book from @booklady, so what is the point spending months or years contributing content to build a meaningless brand? For more about author branding, go here. […]

But I’m definitely starting to see times when branding the book would be a good idea, even for self-publishers. But every model in which I see that being intelligent and useful requires that the author has already branded their own name.

An example (Since my younger brother is reading him) is Rick Riordan. While he does brand both of his series individually (I have to assume his publisher markets them.) he branded himself as well, and now his name is as useful for sales as the book series.

Just some thoughts on the ‘big picture.’
