In today’s episode, I am excited to have branding expert RuthAnn Rafiq here to talk with us about how to grow your brand as an author. If you’re anything like I was a few years ago, you might be thinking, “Wait, what is a personal brand as an author? What does that even mean?” I have learned a thing or two about the importance of branding as I have published more books and grown my business.


In her signature simple and welcoming style, RuthAnn teaches us why it's important to establish a personal brand, as well as HOW to do so with quick tips for getting started.


Listen in to hear:

  • The difference between like branding and marketing.
  • How a personal brand can help you pivot easily and do well in multiple different areas.
  • Steps you can take to begin to establish a personal brand online.
  • What connection points help build the know like and trust factor.
  • Ways to stand out online amongst everyone else.


I think you’ll find so many parallels to branding and writing and walk away with some great ideas that you feel good about implementing!
