On this powerful and inspiring episode of the Authority on Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Steven W. Booth to explore what it really takes for authors to get noticed, build trust, and market their books without feeling pushy or inauthentic.

Steven shares a refreshing perspective on author marketing: you don’t have to be everywhere—you have to be findable. He explains why authors should focus less on impressing audiences and more on becoming discoverable, solving real reader problems, and consistently doing the behind-the-scenes work that creates long-term visibility.

• Why marketing feels “icky” and how to turn that feeling into a better marketing mindset.
• How the 3-part marketing funnel works and where authors create the human connection.
• Why being findable is more powerful than being impressive.
• How consistent, unglamorous marketing builds lasting results.
• Why understanding your reader’s real needs is essential to effective marketing.

If you’re an author who wants to stop chasing attention, build genuine connections, and make your book easier to discover, this conversation with Steven W. Booth delivers practical insights you can put into action.

Tune in and discover why being found may matter more than being impressive.
