    HUB 515: AUTHOR PANEL - Kate Colbert and Nikki Green

    One of the biggest fears aspiring authors carry is the fear of negative reviews. What if people do not like the book? What if someone misunderstands the message? What if the reviews are harsh, public, and permanent? That fear stops some entrepreneurs from ever starting the book they’ve been thinking about writing. But often, the real issue is not the possibility of criticism. It’s the lack of clarity before the writing even begins. When you know exactly who the book is for, what problem it solves, and how it connects to your expertise, the fear starts to lose its grip. You stop trying to please everyone, and you start focusing on deeply serving the right readers. That’s one of the reasons I created the Author ROI Lab. It helps entrepreneurs think strategically about their book before they invest months writing it. We test whether the message is clear, whether the audience is defined, and whether the book is positioned to support meaningful business goals. Because when you know your message will resonate with the right people, the fear of a few negative reviews no longer feels nearly as important. If you’re considering writing a book and want to approach it with greater clarity and confidence, schedule a complimentary chat at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to learn more about the Author ROI Lab. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Kate Colbert wrote "Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education," a thought-provoking exploration of how colleges and universities must rethink their approach to leadership, communication, and student engagement in order to adapt to a rapidly changing educational landscape. Nikki Green wrote "Chameleon Mindset: Creative Ways To Embrace Change And Build Mental Resilience To Transform Your Career & Life," an encouraging and actionable book that helps readers strengthen resilience and navigate transitions with greater confidence. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Know the Reader First: Clarity about the audience helps reduce the fear of negative reviews. 🟠 Use Original Research: Proprietary data and interviews can make a nonfiction book more useful and more media-worthy. 🟠 Distill Big Ideas: Readers often want an expert to synthesize complex information into something actionable. 🟠 Build A Clear Framework: A memorable structure helps readers apply the ideas instead of just reading about them. 🟠 Let The Audience Evolve: A book may reach readers you did not expect once the message starts spreading. 🟠 Keep Marketing Alive: Promotional moments can bring new attention to books that still have evergreen value. 🟠 Plan The Whole Race: Writing, publishing, and marketing all need attention before the book is finished.

    HUB 514: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Carol Abrahamson

    What can a book do after it’s published, especially if you want it to create more visibility and credibility for your work? Today’s guest helps authors think more strategically about that next chapter. She works with fiction and nonfiction authors at every stage, from those still planning their book to those whose book came out years ago, helping them make the most of what they’ve created. She is a former book awards judge, a former McGraw-Hill executive, and the author of 42 nonfiction books. Through Book Award Mastery, she helps authors research the right award opportunities and build a practical plan to use award recognition in support of their larger goals. If you’ve ever wondered whether book awards are worth the effort, or how they can support the life of your book after publication, this conversation will give you a lot to think about. Please join me in welcoming one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners, Carol Abrahamson. 🟠 Use Awards Strategically: A book award is more useful when it is connected to a larger action plan. 🟠 Think Beyond Recognition: Awards and bestseller status can support credibility, but they are not the end goal. 🟠 Build A Multi-Year Plan: The real value comes from what authors do before, during, and after the award process. 🟠 Research The Right Opportunities: Not every award is legitimate, relevant, or worth pursuing. 🟠 Revisit Older Books: Some quality awards are open to books published years ago, especially if the content is still timely. 🟠 Let The Book Open Doors: Carol’s first book worked as a strategic introduction to the exact clients she wanted to reach. 🟠 Trust Curated Expertise: Authors benefit when they can find reliable service providers instead of navigating the publishing world alone.

    HUB 513: AUTHOR PANEL - Jenn T. Grace and Stephen Shapiro

    You can write a great book, have a strong message, and still struggle to gain traction after publication. Why? Too many authors treat their launch as a marketing event instead of a relationship-building opportunity. That’s where a launch team changes everything. A launch team is not just a group of people who buy your book. It’s a carefully chosen community of readers, supporters, likely prospects, and referral partners who help create momentum before and during your launch. They help generate reviews, spread the word, and create early engagement that gives your book credibility and visibility. But the real magic goes beyond Amazon reviews. A thoughtful launch team strategy helps wake up your network. It creates conversations with people who may not have heard from you in a while. It opens doors to podcasts, speaking opportunities, collaborations, and future clients. Done well, a launch becomes more than a moment. It becomes the beginning of a stronger pipeline from your book to your business. That’s the strategy I teach in my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue.” If you want to build a launch team that creates revenue opportunities, you can find the book, bonus content, and an invitation to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet this week’s author panel: Jenn T. Grace wrote "Promote Your Purpose: A Strategic Guide to Book Marketing for Nonfiction Authors Who Want to Grow Their Impact, Influence, and Income," a practical and empowering resource that helps nonfiction authors market their books strategically so they can expand their visibility, strengthen their authority, and create meaningful business growth. Stephen Shapiro wrote "You're Not Playing with a Full Deck: Why the Coworkers Who Drive You Crazy Are Your Unfair Advantage," a thought-provoking leadership book that explores how different thinking styles and workplace personalities can become a source of innovation, collaboration, and stronger team performance. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Market Before Publication: Book marketing works better when it starts while the book is still being shaped. 🟠 Design Books To Be Used: A shorter, action-focused book can be more valuable than a dense one people never open. 🟠 Match Metrics To The Book: Different books can serve different goals, from client attraction to product sales. 🟠 Build A Business Ecosystem: Speaking, consulting, workshops, books, cards, and programs work better when they feed each other. 🟠 Reframe Promotion As Service: Marketing feels less sleazy when it becomes an invitation to learn. 🟠 Customize Bulk Orders: Event-specific editions can make books more valuable for clients and audiences. 🟠 Beta Test Before Publishing: Early readers can improve the book and become invested launch team supporters.

    HUB 512: AUTHOR PANEL - Angie Callen and Renee Rubin Ross

    You’ve got a great book idea. You know your content is strong, your message matters, and you’re confident people will benefit from it. So you write the book, publish it, and wait. And wait. Many entrepreneurial authors fall into the “build it, and they will come” mindset. They believe that if the book is good enough, readers will find it, share it, and create momentum on their behalf. But that’s not how it works. Books do not create visibility on their own. They need a strategy behind them. A plan to reach the right readers, engage your network, and create conversations that lead to opportunities. Before you start writing, it’s important to think about how your book will actually get into people’s hands and how it will connect back to your business. That’s where the Author ROI Lab comes in. It helps entrepreneurs think strategically about their book before they invest months of effort, so they can create something that not only gets written but also delivers results. If you want to make sure your book doesn’t sit quietly after it’s published, visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com and schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session. Now, let’s meet this week’s author panel. Angie Callen wrote "Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries," an empowering guide that helps professionals move beyond burnout and anxiety to build careers and lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable. Renee Rubin Ross wrote "Inclusive Strategic Planning for Nonprofits: A Five-Step Process to Expand Energy, Alignment, and Opportunity," a practical guide that helps nonprofit leaders engage stakeholders, align priorities, and create strategic plans that are both inclusive and actionable. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Know The Core Reader: A clear picture of who needs the book helps shape what stays in and what gets cut. 🟠 Don’t Cram Everything: Releasing two strong books is better than trying to write the definitive book. 🟠 Write From Real Content: Blog posts and ongoing writing can become raw material you shape into a book. 🟠 Get Feedback Early: Early readers help you tighten the framing before you finalize the manuscript. 🟠 Never Too Early: Start building your launch team while writing the book.

    HUB 511: AUTHOR INTERVIEW - Stacey Larsen

    What happens after a successful book launch, once the book is out in the world and the real work of turning ideas into impact begins? Today’s guest is returning to the podcast after launching her first book, “Reframing the Leadership Dance: The Secret to Finding Your Rhythm as a People Leader,” in May 2024.  Since our last conversation, about a year after it was released, she has continued to build a body of resources around the book, including companion materials, reflection tools, the Empower Your People Leadership Lab, and a leadership mastermind designed to help people apply the ideas to their real-life challenges. Her work helps leaders stop blaming the “difficult person” in front of them and start noticing the conversation patterns they are caught in. Through her company, Authentic Edge, she supports leaders and HR partners who want to make people leadership feel more grounded, practical, and sustainable. I had the privilege of supporting her through her review-focused launch, and I’m excited to continue the conversation two years after her first book launched. Say goodbye to doing leadership alone and say hello to my guest, Stacey Larsen. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 What Happened After Launch: The real work started once the book was in readers’ hands. 🟠 Reviews Keep Building: The launch passed 50 written reviews and later approached 90 through steady follow-through. 🟠 Launch Calls Sparked Conversations: Live calls and recordings gave people a tip they could use and share. 🟠 The Book and Program Feed Each Other: Some readers start with the book, then join the program, and others do the reverse. 🟠 Reading Is Not The Same As Buying: Getting people to take action from what they read is the real challenge. 🟠 Build The Customer Journey: Clear pathways between the book, resources, and offers made the work easier to sustain.

    HUB 510: AUTHOR PANEL - Anne Bartolucci and David Newman

    You’ve written a book, and you’re getting close to publishing it. You know launch day matters, and you want the book to make an impact. Don’t make this common but costly mistake: skip building a launch team. Authors often assume a few social posts, an email or two, and maybe some goodwill from their network will be enough. But without a launch team in place, there’s no group of readers ready to post reviews and boost early visibility. A launch team is not just a nice extra. It is one of the smartest ways to turn your launch into a real business development opportunity. The right team can help wake up your network in a way that leads to sales conversations and referrals. I’m a book launch strategist. I share my launch strategies in my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue.” I recommend reading it if you want a strategy to drive 50 or more Amazon reviews and build a stronger pipeline from your book to your business. I’m happy to chat. You can find the book, bonus content, and an invitation to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Anne Bartolucci wrote "Better Sleep for the Overachiever," a practical and science-backed guide that helps high-performing professionals improve their sleep so they can think more clearly, perform at a higher level, and sustain their energy without burning out. David Newman is the author of multiple books, including his latest "Market Eminence: 22 Strategies to Build a Bold Personal Brand, Become a Business Celebrity, and Drive Unstoppable Growth," a high-impact playbook that shows entrepreneurs how to stand out in a crowded marketplace, build authority, and turn their expertise into consistent visibility and revenue. Please join me in welcoming Anne and David.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Don’t Skip the Launch Team: Without one, you do not have readers ready to post early reviews. 🟠 Reviews Create Early Lift: A review plan supports credibility and visibility right after publication. 🟠 Publishing Has Changed: The panel reflects on how traditional, hybrid, and independent publishing paths continue to shift. 🟠 Major Media Isn’t the Gatekeeper: The old rules around “legitimacy” and media reviews are different now. 🟠 Stand Out in a Noisy Market: Differentiation gets harder when everyone can publish content fast.

    HUB 509: AUTHOR PANEL - Amy Climer, Daria Rudnik, and Tissa Richards

    You’re thinking about writing a book. You’ve got an idea, a message you care about, and a sense that becoming an author will elevate your credibility. But here’s a question worth asking before you start writing. Will this book actually create opportunities for your business? Many speakers and coaches assume that simply having a book will be enough. That it will attract clients and lead to speaking engagements. But without a clear strategy behind it, a book can easily become a lot of effort with very little return. Before you write, it’s important to step back and ask a few key questions:  Who is this book really for? The answer can’t be “everyone.”  What problem does it solve? Does the reader KNOW they have this problem?  How does the book connect to your offers? Do you need to rename them?  And what do you want a reader to do after they finish it? If they love your book, how can they find you, and what can they do with you next? Those are exactly the kinds of questions we explore in the Author ROI Lab, a small group program designed to help entrepreneurs decide whether the book they’re considering is worth writing and how to leverage it for real business results. To learn more, visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Amy Climer wrote "Deliberate Creative Teams: How to Lead for Innovative Results," a practical leadership guide that helps teams build the skills, mindset, and structures needed to consistently generate innovative ideas and turn them into meaningful results. Daria Rudnik wrote "CLICKING: A Team Building Strategy for Overloaded Leaders Who Want Stronger Team Trust, Better Results, and More Time," a results-driven framework that shows leaders how to strengthen trust, improve collaboration, and create more efficient, high-performing teams without adding more to their plate. Tissa Richards is the author of two books, including "Rethinking Resilience: Fueling Your Competitive Advantage," a strategic guide that challenges traditional views of resilience and shows leaders how to leverage it as a powerful driver of performance, adaptability, and long-term success. Please join me in welcoming Amy, Daria, and Tissa.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Write for a Specific Reader: Get clear about who the book is for and why it matters. 🟠 Contrarian Perspective: Sharing a contrarian point of view could be a competitive advantage. 🟠 Turn Trust into Results: A team trust framework becomes a practical path to stronger outcomes and more time. 🟠 Set a Review Goal: A clear review target created focus and momentum early. 🟠 Expect Post-Launch Energy Dips: Launch success still requires recovery time and a plan to restart momentum. 🟠 Keep Giving Goodwill: Buying books, writing reviews, and supporting others builds reciprocal visibility over time.

    HUB 508: AUTHOR PANEL - Laura Biewer, Marva Bailer, and Mila Johansen

    One of the biggest decisions an author has to make, and often their first question: What is the right publishing path for my book? Too many entrepreneurs get stuck comparing traditional, hybrid, and independent publishing without a clear way to evaluate what fit50s their goals.  The question you should ask yourself is which path makes the most sense based on your priorities around time, money, control, and how much of the publishing process you want to understand and manage yourself. That’s one of many conversations we have inside The Author ROI Lab. I help entrepreneurs step back and think strategically about the book before they invest months of effort.  We look at what kind of support they need, what tradeoffs they are willing to make, and how to choose a publishing path that aligns with their business goals, resources, and desired return on investment. If you’re considering writing a book and want to make smarter decisions from the start, learn more about The Author ROI Lab at www.RobbieSamuels.com/Lab. And now, let’s meet our author panel… Laura Biewer wrote "The Compassionate Notary: A Field Guide to Signings in Hospitals, Hospice and for the Homebound," a practical and heartfelt guide that helps notaries navigate sensitive signings with professionalism, empathy, and confidence when serving clients in vulnerable circumstances. Marva Bailer wrote "Be Unexpected: Resetting Routines to Revolutionize the Future of Work," a forward-thinking book that challenges leaders to rethink patterns and embrace more human-centered, innovative approaches to work, leadership, and organizational culture. Mila Johansen wrote "101 Surprising Tips To Promote Your Book: When & How to Build Hype," a practical marketing guide packed with creative ideas to help authors generate buzz, increase visibility, and promote their books more strategically before, during, and after launch. Please join me in welcoming Laura, Marva, and Mila.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Choose The Right Publishing Path: Evaluate traditional, hybrid, and independent options through time, money, and control. 🟠 Define Success Metrics Early: Set goals for reviews, sales, and opportunities like speaking invites. 🟠 Use A 99-Cent Promo with Intention: A short discount window can work best when paired with coordinated outreach. 🟠 Build Hype Before Launch: Start visibility and buzz-building before you ask people to buy. 🟠 Compare PR Versus Organic Marketing: A PR-first approach can differ from a community-driven promotion strategy. 🟠 Expect Hidden Amazon Details: Self-publishing has small technical steps that can trip up first-time authors.
