    Book Marketing and Book Funnels with Chris Benetti

    Book Marketing and Book Funnels with Chris Benetti

    On episode #223 of The Author Factor Podcast I am having a conversation with the founder of Smart Author Media, Chris Benetti. Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, Chris is an expert in book marketing who leverages his engineering background for tactical, results-driven strategies. He's known for transforming non-fiction authors into notable moneymakers through their books.

    While Chris is not a nonfiction book author (yet), his expertise and experience working with nonfiction book authors to help them sell or give away more books makes this a must-listen to episode if you are looking to generate more from your own book.

    Here are 3 important tips Chris shared:

    Leverage Your Authority: Chris underscores the immense value of a book as a credibility tool for business leaders. Having a published book elevates your expertise and distinguishes you from the competition, making it the ultimate authority-building asset.

    Scale with Smart Advertising: Chris emphasizes the scalability and efficiency of advertising for book promotion, suggesting that it's the optimal way to distribute your book widely without the time-intensive endeavors like tours and interviews. Paid advertising allows for targeted, scalable book exposure that can significantly outdo organic reach.

    Patience Pays Off: The conversation highlights the need for a long-term strategy in book marketing. Immediate sales are great, but the real success is found in nurturing leads over time through strategic follow-ups and funnel sequences, turning readers into recurring clients and fostering sustained business growth.

    Fight For Your Best Life: Empowerment Through Protection with John Brewer, Jr.

    On episode #222 of The Author Factor Podcast, I am having a conversation with John Timothy Brewer, Jr. His remarkable background as a special forces veteran and founder of Shield and Spear Consulting Group gives him a unique insight into the world of self-defense.

    This book is not your average self-defense manual. It's a larger call to empowerment through mastering the mind and body. One big reason our listeners will find John’s book intriguing is its foundation on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. John creatively uses this as the spiritual motivation behind his message, intertwining the importance of safety with achieving one's fullest potential.
