Pub Date Book Publishing Podcast

In spite of the increasingly fast-paced nature of today’s media, the art of long-form storytelling still thrives in the form of books, movies, TV and, more recently, podcasts. On this episode of the Pub Date podcast we have Paul Roberts join us and shares how STORYSELLING can make or break a book, podcast, interview, and even speaking career.

The book broads, Jen Dorsey and Vanessa Campos answer your burning publishing questions on this mailbag episode of the Pub Date Podcast.

LinkedIn is a powerful network with more than 740M active users. We're all on it and we're all talking at each other. But we may not be using the platform in the way it was intended. For savvy entrepreneurs and book authors, LinkedIn has become a new source of revenue. It's probably good to know that book marketing on the platform doesn't have to be a hard sales pitch--it should be an education and networking opportunity. 

Joining us today is LinkedIn and sales expert and author of Entrepreneur's Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business, Ted Prodromou.
