Author Mythology

David Baboulene talks author marketing with author mythology.

After all this marketing knowledge, it is time to apply it all to the situation of a writer selling themselves to the industry and their story to the world!

What David explains here is not only relevant to authors, but also actors and influences. The book being the product can be substituted with any other product. It is about building your brand through story and creating and finding the best products for you. Books are one product, but there are also audio books and especially training courses.
