054: Why Authors Need Confidence More Than Credentials with Marianne Avery

Hesitant to engage on LinkedIn but know you need it for your author platform? LinkedIn Confidence Coach Marianne Avery and I tackle the fears that keep authors standing at the back of the digital room in this "from the vault" LinkedIn Live replay! Marianne reveals that building confidence on LinkedIn isn't about having all the answers – it's about educating yourself on the "rules of the game" and then taking small, consistent actions to build your presence.

If you're an author who's been lurking on LinkedIn without engaging, or if you feel like everyone else knows something you don't about networking online, this conversation will shift your perspective. We explore why your LinkedIn profile is like your author bio (it needs to show personality, not just credentials!), how commenting strategically can grow your network faster than posting, and why thinking of LinkedIn like a networking party – not a sales pitch – changes everything. Marianne shares her practical approach to turning confusion into confidence, including how to audit your own presence and why testing small changes can lead to big results.
