    Ep. 173: How Fiction Authors Can Get Found, Grow An Email List, And Sell More Books | Guest Expert: Sam Namias from Crewfiction

    Send us a text Try Crewfiction Tired of shouting into the void and hoping readers find you? We unpack a clear, stress-free system any fiction author can use to build a professional presence, get approved on Goodreads, and grow a loyal email list that powers bigger launches. With Sam from CrewFiction, we map the path from scattered links to a polished hub that ranks on Google, showcases your books, and welcomes new readers with irresistible bonuses. We start with the foundation: a clean, fast author website that imports your Amazon titles in minutes and centers the details readers actually search for—your genre and tropes. That simple shift supercharges discoverability and credibility, especially when paired with a custom domain. From there, we talk practical SEO, from search-friendly page structure and page speed to leveraging a content ecosystem that pushes your pen name and books higher in results. You’ll hear how curated reviews, link-in-bio consolidation, and clear calls to action turn casual browsers into subscribers. Then we dive into list growth and retention. Reader magnets—prequels, deleted scenes, bonus epilogues—sit front and center and feed a welcome sequence that builds trust. Sam shares how CrewFiction’s fiction-first newsletter platform gives you story-driven templates and launch workflows so you’re never stuck wondering what to write. We also explore collaboration: finding authors with matching tropes for swaps and promos, using a searchable directory to align audiences, and tracking what works with built-in analytics, tagging, and segmentation for ARCs, superfans, and new readers. If you want a simpler way to get discovered, collect emails, and sell more books without burning out, this conversation hands you the toolkit.

    Ep 169: Learn To Weave Your Offer Into Every Story You Tell And Sell More With Less Effort

    Send us a text We share a warm holiday intro, then dive into Kendall Cherry’s practical playbook for selling through story. We unpack case studies that convert, day-in-the-life frameworks, attraction and repelling, and how a content ecosystem can replace most sales calls. • using bottom-of-funnel case studies that show the real before and after • writing day-in-the-life and vision casting stories with concrete detail • threading offers into every post with subtle, soft selling • attracting right-fit buyers while repelling poor fits to save time • designing a no-calls-needed sales ecosystem with guides, forms, and video proposals • staying consistent instead of relying on referrals and launch spikes • sharing processed lessons learned without performative vulnerability • leveraging a unique origin story as your competitive moat • aligning sales design with energy, values, and delivery model So now that this episode is over, this is what I want you to do. Audit your content. Does every post that you've created in the last seven days, let's say, subtly sell? Are you hinting or nodding or threading your offer into the content and the stories that you're telling? Incorporate storytelling in your marketing, particularly around client case studies, so people can visualize themselves in the place of your current clients. Clarify your messaging to both attract and repel potential clients. It will save you so much time on unnecessary sales calls. Build a streamlined sales process that works for you. So everybody's sales process is a little different. You need it to work for the life that you have and your business and your offers. So build one that you actually love. And last, embrace the long game, nurture leads so they become ready to work with you. You love all things tiny marketing.
