The phrase Author's Platform seems to mean different things to different people.
An agent: How many individual page views does your website get per month?
A publisher: How many book sales can you guarantee?
An old-school marketer: How big is your mailing list?
A writer: How many people can you find to buy your book?
Another writer: Something sleazy people build by groveling and kissing ass.
A social media marketing expert: What is your Klout score? How many facebook friends and/or fans do you have? What is your website ranking?
A more useful description might be, "How many people are eagerly waiting to read what you write?"
