Building an author platform can feel like trying to navigate a forest with no map, and no idea where the path even begins.

That’s where this free Online Presence Self-Audit comes in.

Most authors wait until launch day to start thinking about their platform. But by then, it’s already too late.

This free Online Presence Self-Audit helps you get ahead of that moment. It gives you a clear snapshot of where you are, what’s missing, and what actually needs your attention right now, so you can stop guessing and start growing with intention.

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to get your digital presence back on track, this self-guided tool will help you:

✓ Get clarity on what’s working, and what’s not
✓ Pinpoint what actually needs your focus next
✓ Reduce the guesswork, burnout, and spinning in circles
✓ Understand how your website, email list, and social presence work together
✓ Feel more confident about how readers experience you online

✧ What’s Inside

This isn’t a to-do list. It’s a guided reflection tool built specifically for authors.

Inside, you’ll find:

✓ 7 themed sections covering the full scope of your online presence
✓ Simple check-in prompts—no scores, no shame, just clarity
✓ Mini reflections to help you identify your blindspots
✓ A final roadmap to help you create an action plan
✓ A warm invitation to ask questions if you’re stuck (seriously, I want to help)
✓ Bonus: Framework for a public perception audit

“The audit’s been really useful, with some good, searching questions that made me consider my approach, priorities and goals. I’ve read a lot about marketing – perhaps too much – over the last year, but your audit certainly gets to the core of what matters. Once I completed the questionnaire, I felt much more positive, so thank you for boosting my confidence.”

~ Robert Crouch, Author

“I’m finally getting time to look at your spell book and email newsletters/advice. This is great! I am making notes as I go to what I haven’t done yet. This is all so helpful and I want you to know.”

~ Corinna, Author @littlecupofstories

✧ Why This Matters

Your author platform isn’t just about visibility. It’s about connection.
It’s about showing up in a way that feels like you, and draws the right readers in.

After completing this audit, you won’t just have a list. You’ll have a map; a clear-eyed understanding of how all the pieces of your platform fit together, and a starting point for building something strong, aligned, and sustainable.

This is your threshold moment. Let’s make sure you’re headed in the right direction.

✧ Bonus: Companion Resource Included

If you need extra clarity while working through the audit, you’ll also get access to Your Online Presence Spellbook. A beautifully designed PDF guide that expands on key concepts and helps you take your next steps with confidence.
