Jonathan Milligan’s new book, “Launch your Platform,” is a powerful resource for the experienced or novice digital entrepreneur, covering the topics of content creation, platform set up, marketing and more. As someone who aspires to share my message in an impactful way, I’m grateful for Jonathan’s systematic, 21-day approach that conveys the “steps for success” in an easy-to-grasp format.

The importance of branding, and establishing a strong foundation with “voice, strategy, and story,” sets the stage for connecting with the right target audience. Jonathan covers these tactics thoroughly and provides useful examples and exercises throughout the book that help guide the reader from the planning phase to implementation.

With technologies constantly evolving, Jonathan shares information on incorporating AI into content creation and gives an insightful overview of automation software platforms. Jonathan is very generous to discuss the specific technology tools he uses and even provides free templates to help with creative execution.

Another aspect of this book I find to be especially helpful is the summary of “takeaways” at the end of each chapter which helps solidify the information and serves as an effective refresher and review.

Whether you’re an author, speaker, coach, or creative entrepreneur, Jonathan has taken the guesswork out of sharing your message successfully. Those stifled from fulfilling their dream of launching their platform – due to fear or lack of knowledge – no longer have an excuse! So grateful to have read this valuable business book!

If you've ever wanted someone to just *spell out* how to launch and run an online business, then Jonathan Milligan is your man.

For 15+ years of online business (blogging, coaching, content creators), the gurus have risen en masse. But so many of them seem to dangle the carrot in front of the horse.

Just let me have this one...Just tell me what has worked for you. Just tell me what works in the ever-changing landscape, that can feel so circular and monotonous.

Launch Your Platform is that book. I highly recommend starting with Book #1: Discover Your Message. In Book 2, Jonathan (hopefully having already helped you to "Discover Your Message,") tells you how to do it. From finding brand colors, and selecting a domain name, to even creating your "About Me" page, Jonathan Milligan is the consummate teacher. He helps dispel the doubts and clear the air. He takes the self-centered approach of business to an others-centric mission that is authentically *you*.

Let me say it again: If you've ever wanted someone to just spell it out, Jonathan does so. Generously. I would describe this book as "generously practical." Because every step in this book is "fluff-free" and accessible to anyone.

In 21-day bite-sized chapters with daily applications, you can launch your platform! And *please* do it! Do it because the world needs your voice. Do it because, as Jonathan would say, "Your Message Matters!"

This is an easy to follow, online business blueprint. It's very practical and completely down-to-earth giving you a 21-day guide to launching an online business platform.

Jonathan Milligan writes clearly and concisely and the steps are logical and systematic. He brings all his experience to the table to illustrate his lessons.

The 12 brand voices map was really helpful to understand how vital it is to establish your own unique brand voice. He really encourages you to craft an engaging brand story which is likely to attract and resonate with your ideal audience.

This book lays out every step needed and has helped me understand the need for critical content like blog posts, lead magnets and the key website pages and information needed.

I love the way the book is broken into actionable, bite-sized projects and to see how it all fits together. Jonathan gives you lots of tips on automating your platform for audience growth and engagement with your ideal client.

Having read this book, I now feel far more confident in my ability to translate my passion into a unique brand voice and to build and launch my message out to the world.

This is Jonathan Milligan's second book in the "Your Message Matters Series." I'm excited to continue the process of learning how to share my message as an author, speaker, and coach. Jonathan is a skilled teacher and writer whose abilities to break down complex ideas and translate them into doable steps has helped me to make significant progress in my business.

"Launch Your Platform" showcases the author's abilities to communicate these steps in an easy-to-follow 21-day launch plan. Follow the steps and you will get the desired results! I especially liked the exercise of defining my brand voice. In Chapter Two, I learned about the Brand Voice Wheel and by taking a quiz, I was able to determine my brand voice and how I can use this to communicate my message more effectively.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to find a doable process to launch their personal brand. I'm already looking forward to the next book!

This is the book I wish I had when I started my blogging and influencer business!

Working through the 21 days step-by-step had helped me build my brand around my influencer message that I had developed in book one of this series.

I've developed a better strategy for relating to and interacting with my readers and viewers. Even though I currently have a website, I used Jonathan's lessons in the book to create a more professional yet relatable experience for my followers.

The lessons for coaching, speaking, and other ways of sharing your story have inspired me to expand my reach and build new platforms to share my message beyond my blog.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Forget about flying by the seat of your pants when you're launching your platform! This book is like your guide, holding your hand and telling you exactly what to do.
Jonathan builds a framework for you in easy to follow steps. He stresses the importance of having a plan in place, like figuring out your brand voice, how you want things to be perceived, what you want to say, and how you'll set up your website and plan your content. Basically, it all boils down to having a solid foundation before you hit "runway."
Jonathan delivers with another easy to follow guide book with no fluff.
Thank you very much.

Another great read from Jonathan Milligan!

First with "Your Message Matters", then with "Discover Your Message" and now "Launch Your Platform:..."!

I could go on and on praising the merits of each book but I'd rather share about the man behind the books.

The books only serve to compliment the heartfelt desire that Jonathan has for assisting people in achieving their Mission/Purpose in life via coaching/entrepreneurship/book writing/etc.

He, more than any other person I follow, has invited me into his heart, mind, life and family.

Yes, buy and read the books! Beyond that - follow and get to know this man who has a genuine interest in seeing us achieve our full potential!

Launch Your Platform provides an excellent summary of exactly what you need to do to launch your work online so that it provides results. The information is presented in very clear, simple, step-by step small chapters with actionable tasks. I wish I'd had this book 10 years ago when I started out with my coaching business. Back then, I created a complex presence online that took loads of time and really didn't do much for my business. Now I am preparing to launch a new business, and am grateful to have such a guide like this to follow. Thank you Jonathan!
