author branding

Most indie authors think “marketing” means chasing algorithms, posting endlessly on social media, and trying to become an influencer. No wonder so many writers recoil from it. But the “Being Seen” part of Solar Sail Theory is much simpler — and far more sustainable. You are not trying to become famous. You are trying to become findable. Visibility that compounds over time, through podcasts, guest posts, searchable discussions, live events, and relationships, creates a sail that keeps catching reader photons long after the original effort ends.
