Once you know what platforms to use and have created them it is time to start engaging with your audience. Building an active audience does not begin with publishing a ‘buy now’ post. Your future readers are not going to buy your book instantly if you tell them too. They need to be nurtured towards making that purchase. Genuine interactions breed trust and trust cultivates love. When you gain that love, sales will naturally roll right on in. Why? Because when your readers love you, they can't wait to get their hands on your latest work! That's why building trust is absolutely pivotal to growing a devoted readership. So how do you build trust? Don’t worry I have you covered with these four tactics to employ as you interact and grow your readership: Connect. Make an effort to connect with potential readers.  Engage. Treat your readers as friends. Reach out, ask questions. Join the Facebook groups they are apart of and be apart of their conversations.  Offer Quality. Always look to serve the reader first. Give them something of value. Giving your target readers value will help you build trust and online relationships.  Be personal. Let the reader inside your world. Not by posting endless selfies or cat videos. But instead, share your writing journey. Share the highs and lows. Be a real human that they can relate to.  If you employ these four tactics you will start to see steady, quality growth.  By Talk + Tell
