ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is all about book editor visibility.
tl;dr: For most editors, visibility is an optional strategy, not a necessity
Tune in to hear how:
- Visibility isn't something you have to do if you're an editor.
- You can have a fallow season without pressure to be visible.
- The pressure to be consistent can have negative mental health implications.
- Referrals are a significant source of clients for editors.
- Not all visible editors are successful
- Building relationships is often more effective than audience building.
- Social media visibility can help if you're selling low-ticket offerings or editing for self-published authors.
- It's possible to run a successful editing business without social media.
- A focus on depth in client relationships rather than quantity can work well.
