It sometimes seems like we don't just have to build a platform, but that we have to build one bigger and better than everyone else because everyone's building platforms.Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-51838248871994066592009-07-14T14:19:19.260-04:002009-07-14T14:19:19.260-04:00Thank you to everyone -- I know Kate was swamped w...Thank you to everyone -- I know Kate was swamped with submissions following the post, which I thought was pretty cool. ;-)<br /><br />Carol, good question. I am hoping to line up two more interviews on platform (one with a platform guru who actually does coaching to help people tackle questions like the one you're asking and one with the author of an exciting new book on platform) -- stay tuned!<br /><br />And a word of encouragement to people who are still working on their platforms -- just take it one step at a time, and don't be afraid to try different things to see what works best for YOU. Things always start slow at first, but when you keep working, your efforts DO start to bear fruit, and that's really exciting!Carolyn Kaufman | @CMKaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715666518147779502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-26552038075217939202009-07-14T12:01:30.033-04:002009-07-14T12:01:30.033-04:00I've learned a lot about building a platform o...I've learned a lot about building a platform over the few months that my book has been out. My problem is time. I should have mapped all of this out before publication. <br /><br />Thanks for this post.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-46193756497898561212009-07-14T10:24:28.275-04:002009-07-14T10:24:28.275-04:00Thanks Ms. Epstein!

What suggestions do you have about setting aside time for platform building?<br /><br />All best,<br />Carol Frischmann<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pets-Planet-Practical-Guide-Sustainable/dp/0470275731/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239067883&sr=8-1" title="Order from Amazon" rel="nofollow">Pets and the Planet: A Practical Guide to Sustainable Pet Care</a><br /> <br><br />carolfrischmann.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-72486954507658039592009-07-13T12:26:02.387-04:002009-07-13T12:26:02.387-04:00Thanks for this!

The whole idea of building a platform drives me crazy while also making too much sense to ignore. It's a long process, but I do believe it will eventually pay off.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965042538225388563noreply@blogger.com
