Amazon Data Centers Targeted by Iran: The Shocking Wake-Up Call Every Author Must Heed Now
Even the largest companies in the world experience outages, technical issues, or unexpected disruptions. When that happens, authors who depend entirely on a single platform can find themselves temporarily stuck.
Diversifying where your book is available, and where you encourage engagement, creates resilience.
When readers can find your work in multiple places, several good things happen:
- If one platform experiences problems, readers still have other options.
- Your audience has more ways to leave reviews and interact with your work.
- You reach readers who prefer different retailers.
- You build a broader digital footprint for your book.
Think of it less like abandoning one store and more like opening additional doors.
