As an author, you wear many different hats. You have to be your own social media manager, writer, promoter, office administrator, brand builder, event planner, and more. Being an author is more than just writing. However, trying to juggle all of the hats you wear at the same time is tiring, and eventually one of them will fall. An author assistant is recommended to step into the roles that you need help with. One of the main advantages, other than the fact that they will free up some of your time, is that an author assistant will increase your ROI (return on investment). Below, we’ll explore how they can achieve that. Let’s get started!
Author Assistants Can Reduce Mistakes And Save Money
When deadlines are missed or there’s an unmistakable issue with your editing, these are mistakes that can lead to losing money. When you have a second pair of eyes and someone who helps keep things in line, it could help reduce missed opportunities, errors that could have been avoided, and even poor reviews.
Author Assistants Free Up Time For You So You Can Write
The tasks that you have to do as an author are tedious but necessary. Handling social media to maintain an online presence, crafting emails, and promoting your books are tasks that take up a decent amount of time. This is time that you should spend writing your next book. By having an assistant take tasks off your plate, more of your valuable time will be spent creating content.
They Can Watch The Data Trends For You
Author assistants are trained in interpreting data to utilize it, so you can work towards improving those stats. Some of the data trends they can watch are:
- The traffic on your website
- Email open and click rates
- Sales
- Social media engagement
They Can Keep The Hype Going After Your Book Releases
After your book releases and some time passes, it’s not uncommon for the hype or momentum to wear off, and you begin working on your next book. Eventually, promotion for the book that was released takes a back seat. An author assistant can continue to promote your book, post on social media, and maintain the momentum to keep sales up.
