Schedule your 1:1 coaching call with bonus CTA audit! There are many reasons, and many solutions. But one of the best ways to drive more engagement and book sales, I think, is to prompt followers and readers to take one specific action, also known in the marketing world as a call to action or CTA. When you book a 50-minute coaching session with me during the month of November 2024, you'll not only gain clarity and solutions to your most pressing writing or self-publishing challenge, but you'll also receive a bonus CTA audit of both your newsletter and a recent social media post.

| 5 Habits of Successful Authors (Ep.91) | 31 Oct 2024 | 00:11:56 | |
I got the idea for today's episode after reading an article about how Scholastic, the popular children's book distributor, selects their titles and marketing campaigns. That got me to thinking about what successful authors do to sell more books, regardless of whether they're traditionally or indie published. It will probably come as no surprise to you that Scholastic and other successful authors do many of the same things. They may have vastly different budgets and differing levels of name recognition, but the principles they use and the habits they develop are universal and available to any and all authors. That includes YOU.

| A SIMPLER Way to Write Your Book (and market it, too) - Ep.78 | 25 Apr 2024 | 00:14:13 | |
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or frustrated when it comes to writing and marketing your book, know that you’re not alone. Every published author I’ve ever met has had to deal with fluctuating emotions, doubts, time constraints, decision fatigue, and information overload throughout the various stages of their writing journeys. Yet it is estimated that 500,000 new self-published books were released last year by U.S. authors alone. Assuming that some authors wrote multiple books in one year, that means at least a quarter of a million people were able to push past all the challenges and overwhelm to successfully write and self-publish their books. You can, too. On today’s episode, I’m going to share a SIMPLER way to write – and market – your book.

| 3 Types of Writers: Which Type Are You? (Ep.77) | 11 Apr 2024 | 00:07:24 | |
At the outset, writing and self-publishing a book sounds straightforward - just write it and upload it to Amazon or whatever online retailer you choose. Easy-peasy, right? 😃 Weellll…behind every overarching topic (writing, editing, publishing, and marketing) are MANY tasks and corresponding sub-tasks. Compounding the problem is that when writers begin to search for answers to their questions and challenges, they’re inundated with so much information, it’s often overwhelming. 😳 In fact, the realities of authorship cause many aspiring authors to become one of three types of writers.
