Midjourney prompt: A man writing a book
🖼️ David Erickson/Midjourney - A man writing a book

I finally registered this domain in 2015 and intended it to be the domain to market the book I intended to write. I published some sparodic blog posts but never imposed enough discipline on myself to actually to start writing the book.

The Substack platform offers more benefits beyond directly selling my content; it’s a marketing platform, too.

Since The Reputation Algorithm distills my 30 years of marketing experience, why not also discuss my thoughts on marketing this newsletter and my book?

So expect to see posts that lift the curtain on my journey to get this book written, the ways in which I’ll try to build an audience for the book as I write it, and the rationale behind the marketing strategy and tactics I’ll use to try an ensure its success.

(I’m salivating over that Fender Jazzmaster Elivis is playing, by the way. Way out of my price range, though. Maybe after I publish my book? 🤔)
