    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.
