Marketing Expedition Podcast with Rhea Allen, Peppershock Media

Chris Benetti is the owner of Smart Author Media and an expert in book marketing. Chris has an impressive track record, having helped his clients generate over $20 million in sales from their books and digital offers. In 2023 alone, he sold over 19,000 books for his clients.

00:00 - 00:19 “Make sure that you have a good offer that people are buying already and a funnel can amplify that. I wouldn't look through a funnel as a one-stop solution for you that's going to change all your problems. I would just say like it's a good amplification tool. And if you can't convert someone into your offer now, then a funnel isn't going to change that generally.” — Chris Benetti
