How Authors Can Sell More Books Without Burning Out


Listen Later

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of “do more to sell more,” this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.

The truth? You don’t need to be everywhere or do everything to grow your platform and actually sell books. In fact, trying to do all the things is probably why you're feeling burned out and seeing inconsistent results.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to sell more books without sacrificing your writing time, your energy, or your sanity. You’ll learn the three key pillars that consistently successful authors focus on. And spoiler alert: none of them involve chasing trends or showing up on five social platforms at once.

Whether you're launching your first book or you're deep into your backlist with flatlined sales, this episode will help you shift your marketing mindset and give you a clear, doable strategy to connect with readers in a way that feels authentic (and actually works).

We’ll talk about:

  • How to stop treating marketing like a one-size-fits-all checklist
  • Why knowing your reader on a deeper level changes everything
  • What it really means to create a visibility plan that works for you
  • How to build trust and connection beyond social media
  • And why less marketing (done right) leads to more book sales

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start marketing smarter, not harder, this episode is your starting point.
