    HUB 526: AUTHOR PANEL - Dr. Kate Vawter and Lisa Thee

    A lot of authors think the order goes something like this: write the book, finish the manuscript, and then figure out how you're going to launch it. I think that's too late to think about the launch. Your book launch should begin long before the book is available on Amazon. In fact, some of the most valuable launch work happens while you're still writing. That's when you can start talking about the ideas in your book. You can reconnect with people in your network and get their input.  You can identify potential launch team members, podcast hosts, referral partners, and others who might want to support what you're creating. You can also pay attention to how people respond. What questions do they ask? Which ideas get them excited? Who says, "I need this book," before you've even finished it? If you wait until the manuscript is done to start thinking about your launch, you've missed months of opportunities to bring people into the journey. I don't want authors scrambling a few weeks before publication, trying to suddenly get people interested. I want the launch to be an extension of relationships you've already been building. If you're getting close to publishing and want help creating a launch strategy that generates reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let's meet today's panelists.

Lisa Thee wrote “Go!: Reboot Your Career in 90 Days,” a guide for people who are ready to rethink where their career is headed and take action toward what comes next.   In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Start Before Publication: Launch work can begin while the book is still being written. 🟠 Write the Missing Book: Both authors created the practical guide they wished had existed earlier. 🟠 Serve a Specific Reader: A new manager or mid-career professional needs a book built for their real situation. 🟠 Build the Book Ecosystem: Lead magnets, podcasts, classes, and speaking help a book keep working. 🟠 Make Client Conversations Easier: A book can clarify expertise and give prospects a concrete way to understand the work. 🟠 Join an Author Community: Collaboration, accountability, and deadlines can make book marketing feel less lonely. 🟠 Choose a Lasting Topic: A business-building book should be about something the author wants to discuss for years.

    HUB 525: AUTHOR INTERVIEW - Pia Silva

    What does it take to build a highly profitable business without building a big team? Today’s guest has built her work around challenging the assumption that growth means more employees, more complexity, and a bigger operation. She is the founder of No BS Mastery, where she trains experts, consultants, and boutique agencies on the No BS Business Model, with a focus on building businesses that can generate $250,000 to $500,000 or more a year while giving the owner more freedom. She’s a TEDx speaker, host of "The No BS Mastery Podcast," and a former Forbes contributor. She’s also the author of two bestselling books, "Badass Your Brand" and "Scale Solo: For Experts Who Want to Profit More, Deliver Faster, and Cut the BS." I’m looking forward to talking with her about what it really means to scale solo, the choices business owners make as they grow, and how her books connect to the work she does with clients. Please join me in welcoming Pia Silva. Would you please leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful, and I read each one. Thanks for the inspiration! In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Scale Without a Bigger Team: Growth does not have to mean more employees, more complexity, or more headaches. 🟠 Build a Badass Brand: Strong positioning attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones. 🟠 Lead the Client Relationship: Experts create more value when they guide the process instead of acting like order takers. 🟠 Package Expertise Into Intensives: A focused process can help clients get results faster while improving profitability. 🟠 Write From Existing Expertise: Both books came from ideas that were tested and refined through client work. 🟠 Make the Book Build Authority: A book helps prospects understand the author’s thinking before they ever get on a call. 🟠 Plan For Written Reviews: Start earlier than you think you need to, ask more people, and make the review process easier for launch team members. 🟠 Keep Marketing the Book: Podcast tours, lead magnets, audiobooks, and book funnels can keep a book working long after launch.

    HUB 524: AUTHOR PANEL - Angie Callen, Bill Soroka, and Renee Rubin Ross

    Getting someone to say yes to joining your launch team is only the beginning. One of the biggest mistakes authors make when setting a review goal is assuming most people who join their launch team will actually read the book, follow the instructions, and post a written review. They won't. Even people who are genuinely excited about your book get busy. They forget. They mean to come back to it. Some will read the book and never post a review. Others will leave a star rating instead of the written review you were hoping for. Getting Amazon reviews is hard. If you want more than 20 written reviews, you need a much larger group of people supporting your launch, and you need to follow up. That's why I recommend building a launch team that's roughly three times the size of your written review goal. If you're aiming for 50 reviews, you want about 150 people on your launch team. And then you need a plan for staying in touch with them throughout the launch. Following up isn't about pestering people. They volunteered to support you. Your reminders help the people who intended to leave a review actually get it done. I've used this approach for my own books and with my launch clients because I don't want authors crossing their fingers and hoping enough reviews appear. I want them to have a strategy that supports the best intentions of launch team members. If you'd like help creating a launch strategy that generates 50 or more Amazon reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at⁠ www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com⁠. And now, let's meet today's panelists. Angie Callen wrote “Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries,” a guide for people who dread the start of the workweek and are ready to rethink their relationship with work and create a more fulfilling career and life. Bill Soroka wrote “Rethinking The Notary: The Estate Planning Professional's Guide to Partnering With Credentialed Notaries to Expand Reach, Reduce Risk, and Deliver an Exceptional Client Experience,” a guide for estate planning professionals on working strategically with credentialed notaries to better serve clients while extending their reach and reducing risk. Renee Rubin Ross wrote “Inclusive Strategic Planning for Nonprofits: A Five-Step Process to Expand Energy, Alignment, and Opportunity,” a practical guide to helping nonprofit leaders create a strategic planning process that brings more voices into the conversation and builds greater alignment around the organization's direction. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Build A Bigger Launch Team: Written review goals require more supporters than most authors expect. 🟠 Follow Up With Intention: Reminders help people who already meant to read, review, and support the book. 🟠 Know The Book’s Real Job: A book can spread an idea, support a business, or open conversations beyond sales. 🟠 Price For Reach: Lowering the price can help more readers discover and engage with the message. 🟠 Give Books Away Strategically: Physical copies can spark conversations, referrals, and unexpected opportunities. 🟠 Expect Creative Grief: Releasing a book can feel emotional once the editing, tweaking, and control are over. 🟠 Let Community Expand Visibility: Author collaboration creates more reasons to talk about the book again. 🟠 Pace the Next Book: New ideas may arrive quickly, but the first book still needs time and attention.

    HUB 523: AUTHOR PANEL - Kim Groshek and Mitch Weisburgh

    What would you rather have: a bestseller screenshot or three conversations with ideal prospects? As an entrepreneurial author, I’d take the conversations.  There’s nothing wrong with wanting your book to become an Amazon bestseller. It feels good. It gives you something to celebrate and share. But if you wrote your book to grow your business, bestseller status shouldn’t be the only way you measure success. I’d rather know that your launch reconnected you with a former colleague who now wants to introduce you to a potential client. Or that someone on your launch team invited you to speak. Or that a reader reached out because your book helped them realize you’re exactly the person they need to hire. Those outcomes may never show up on an Amazon bestseller list, but they can have a much bigger impact on your business. That’s why I encourage authors to think about what they actually want their book to accomplish before they plan the launch. Once you know the business outcomes you’re working toward, you can build a launch strategy designed to create them. If you’d like help creating a launch strategy that generates reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at⁠ www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com⁠. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Kim Groshek wrote “Master How to Write a Tiny Book: Written as a Tiny Book,” a short book that demonstrates its own approach while showing aspiring authors how to turn an idea into a focused, manageable book. Mitch Weisburgh wrote “MindShifting: Stop Your Brain From Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success,” a guide to recognizing the mental patterns that can get in our way and learning how to shift those patterns to improve happiness and success. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Write For One Reader: A focused reader helps shape the structure, examples, and learning experience. 🟠 Practice What You Teach: A practical book can demonstrate its own method while teaching the reader. 🟠 Help Readers Shift: Strong feedback comes when people apply the book and see real change. 🟠 Use AI For Research: AI can help organize examples and options without replacing the author’s voice. 🟠 Protect Writing Time: Dedicated writing blocks keep a book moving even when other projects compete for attention. 🟠 Connect The Bigger Story: A book works better when it fits into the author’s broader mission, courses, and offers.

    HUB 522: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Kim Eley

    If you've ever thought about writing a book, you've probably realized pretty quickly that there are a lot of decisions to make. Should you self-publish or pursue another publishing path? Which type of editor do you need? What comes after you've finished the manuscript? And how do you know you're making the right choices? Today's guest helps authors answer those questions, and many others, every day. Through KWE Publishing, she and her team work with nonfiction and children's book authors who want guidance through the writing, publishing, and marketing process. They support authors with book coaching, ghostwriting, editing, design, publishing, audiobook production, and much more. What I appreciate about her approach is that she understands there isn't one right way to become an author. Some people are starting with an idea. Others have a completed manuscript sitting on their computer. Her team helps authors figure out what they need and what makes sense for their goals. In today's conversation, we'll talk about what authors should know before they begin, some of the biggest decisions they'll make along the way, and how to make the publishing process feel a little less overwhelming. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Ask Better Questions Early: Intention, success, message, and ideal reader should shape the path before production begins. 🟠 Choose the Right Publishing Path: Traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing options only make sense when matched to the author’s goals. 🟠 Protect the Author’s Voice: Strong support should guide the process without taking over the message. 🟠 Replace Bestseller Chasing: Reviews, word of mouth, presales, and visibility create stronger proof than a category badge. 🟠 Build Trusted Referral Networks: Authors benefit when experts collaborate and connect them with the right next resource.

    HUB 521: AUTHOR PANEL - Daniel Brewer and Melissa Dinwiddie

    One of the biggest mistakes I see authors make has nothing to do with their book. It has to do with who they invite to support it. When most authors hear the phrase “launch team,” they immediately think of friends and family. They put together a list of 20 or 30 people who love them and are happy to cheer them on. If that’s your entire launch team, you’re missing a huge opportunity. You may also send Amazon mixed signals if the people buying and reviewing your book are not the readers it was written for. A book launch is one of the few times in your business when you have a compelling reason to reconnect with people in your network. Your launch team should include likely prospects, referral partners, colleagues, podcast hosts, and others who would benefit from your book’s message or know someone who would. If someone joins your launch team, they’re raising their hand to spend time with you over several weeks. They’re reading your book, attending your private launch team training, and engaging with your content. Those touchpoints can lead to conversations and opportunities long after launch day. Your goal isn’t simply to collect Amazon reviews. It’s to use your book launch as a business development strategy. That’s why I recommend building a launch team that’s about three times larger than your Amazon review goal and thinking carefully about who belongs on that list. If you’d like help creating a launch strategy that generates reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists.

In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Learn From Book One: A first book can reveal what support, planning, and marketing you need next time. 🟠 Connect The Book To Speaking: Training, keynotes, and private workshops can give the book a clear business role. 🟠 Use Bonus Content Wisely: Videos, PDFs, and exercises help readers apply the book after they finish reading. 🟠 Build Review Credibility: Written reviews help a book look trustworthy and show that readers engaged with the ideas. 🟠 Let Collaboration Create Connections: Author communities can lead to referrals, partnerships, book swaps, and real-world opportunities.

    You've probably heard that you need to solve a problem for your readers. That's good advice. But here's the question I wish more aspiring authors would ask before they start writing. Does your ideal reader know they have that problem? Some problems are obvious. Others aren't. Your reader may be frustrated, stuck, or dissatisfied without realizing what's actually causing it. If your book is written for someone who doesn't recognize the problem you're solving, your message may never land the way you intended. That's why understanding your audience matters so much. You need to know how they describe their challenges, what they're already searching for, and whether they're actively looking for a solution. Sometimes the book you want to write isn't the book your audience is ready to read. These are exactly the kinds of conversations we have in the Author ROI Lab. Before you spend months writing a book, we'll help you think through who your ideal reader is, whether your message will resonate with them, and how your book can support your business goals. If you're thinking about writing a business book, learn more at www.AuthorROILab.com. And now, let's meet today's panelists. Joel Benge wrote "Be A Nerd That Talks Good: Transform Your Technical Knowledge into Powerful Messages," a practical guide that helps technical experts communicate complex ideas in ways that engage audiences, build credibility, and inspire action. Loren Sanders wrote "Empathy Is Not A Weakness: And Other Stories from The Edge," a collection of personal and professional stories that challenge common misconceptions about empathy and explore the strength, courage, and leadership that come from embracing it. Stephanie McAuliffe wrote "The Impact of Silence: Reclaim the Sovereignty of Your Soul," a reflective and empowering book that helps readers recognize the costs of silence and reclaim their voice, truth, and personal sovereignty. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Name The Real Problem: A stronger book starts when readers recognize themselves in the challenge. 🟠 Clarify Complex Ideas: Technical experts need language that helps audiences understand, trust, and act. 🟠 Write From The Scars: A second book can shift from raw healing to wisdom, power, and service. 🟠 Use The Book As A Doorway: Books can open coaching, speaking, workshops, and deeper client conversations. 🟠 Make Reviews Less Scary: Honest reviews reveal how the book lands, even with readers outside your usual audience. 🟠 Let Community Expand Reach: Author collaboration helps books travel farther than solo promotion can. 🟠 Measure Usage Over Status: Real impact happens when readers apply the work, not just when they buy the book.

    HUB 519 AUTHOR PANEL - Deborah Reuben, Emma Toops, and Mitch Weisburgh

    "Build it, and they will come” is a terrible strategy for writing a business book. Too many entrepreneurs assume that once their book is published, readers will somehow discover it, recommend it, and start reaching out to become clients. But books rarely create opportunities on their own. They need a clear strategy behind them. Before you write your first chapter, it’s worth asking: How will people find this book? Why will they choose to read it? And once they do, what do I want them to do next? Those questions can dramatically change the book you write and the results it creates. That’s exactly why I created the Author ROI Lab. It’s a small-group program that helps entrepreneurs think strategically before they write, so they create a book that supports their business goals instead of simply adding another title to the marketplace. If you’re considering writing a business book, learn more at www.AuthorROILab.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Deborah Reuben wrote "Enter the TomorrowZone: How to Inspire Breakthrough Innovation and Shape Your Future," a forward-looking guide that helps leaders move beyond reactive thinking, embrace innovation, and intentionally shape the future they want to create. Emma Toops wrote "Wait, What?!: The Success Formula for When Life Plays Out Differently Than You Expected," an inspiring guide that helps readers navigate unexpected life changes, embrace uncertainty, and redefine success with resilience, purpose, and confidence. Mitch Weisburgh wrote "MindShifting: Stop Your Brain From Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success," a practical personal development book that helps readers recognize unhelpful thought patterns, shift their mindset, and unlock greater happiness, confidence, and success. Would you please leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful, and I read each one. Thanks for the inspiration! In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Write For The Real Reader: A busy executive, young adult, or lifelong learner needs a book built for their actual context. 🟠 Make The Book Actionable: Skimmable sections, tools, and takeaways help readers use the ideas right away. 🟠 Hire The Right Support: Different experts can help with manuscript development, production, marketing, and launch. 🟠 Measure The Right Outcome: Success can mean the book reaches the right hands, not just that it sells copies. 🟠 Use Reviews As Evidence: Written reviews show that readers are engaging with the ideas and applying them. 🟠 Create Study Guides And Tools: Book clubs, courses, and discussion guides help turn reading into implementation. 🟠 Test The Next Book First: A future book works better when the audience, offer, and stories are explored before writing.
