My Own Fabric of the Universe YouTube Channel

It's all about the "Author Platform". That's what the SEO/Marketing folks say, Ad nauseam, that want to charge me thousands of dollars...for the same list they give every other client. And, when the "client" , due to budget/time constraints, can't execute that list in its entirety, the Marketing guru blames the failure on the items they couldn't complete..rather than the fact the list was not tailored to meet the needs of the individual (IE: Author and book product) platform. See the magic box? Buy the magic box. Oh, wait, the magic box didn't work? You must be doing something wrong.

But I digress.

I have plucked at the "Platform list" to take on what portions I can, within the constructs of my budget and technical skill sets (which are formidable and would make me a super-duper ninja dragon-slaying air-bender if I starred in anime...oh, and you have to state this with the words "out of sync" from your mouth. Practice that).
