Book Marketing Simplified

How to Find Readers Who Actually Want to Buy Your Book


Listen Later

Are you exhausted from posting content that gets likes but zero book sales? You're not alone. Most authors are stuck in what I call "pebble marketing" - scattering their efforts everywhere and wondering why nothing's working.

Here's the truth: you don't have a follower problem, you have a targeting problem.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact strategy to find readers who are already looking for books like yours and are ready to buy. No more throwing content at the wall and hoping something sticks.

What you'll learn:
  • Why targeting "all romance readers" is killing your sales
  • The difference between browsers and buyers (and why you've been focusing on the wrong one)
  • The 3-layer system to identify your ideal buyers
  • Where your readers actually hang out (hint: it's probably not where other authors are)
  • My 5-step action plan to start attracting buyers today

Stop wasting time on vanity metrics and start building an audience that actually supports your books. Your ideal readers are out there. You just need to know how to find them.
