Insights into the Podcast
Books mean business. When authors write and publish a book, they unknowingly launch a business. It may start with a single book, but it can open doors to so much more. Discover the untapped potential and possibilities that lie within the pages of your book.
Season 8 explores how a book can build or grow a business. See how our team can help you. Also, looking for additional insights on authorpreneurship, order your copy of Stephanie’s book, Make Your Author emPact: Sell More Books, Increase Your Reach & Achieve Your Why.
Anyone can write a book if they put their mind to it. But emPowered people write marketable books; ones that will sell. If writing a book that will make an impact on the lives of others is a dream of yours, you’ll find tips on the writing and publishing process and insights that will help you write a book that will make an impact and on that will sell.
Season 3 shares the ins and outs of writing a book that speaks to your readers and potential clients. Learn how to become an emPowered writer.
You have a book; isn’t that your brand?! While your empowering message may be found within your book, you are bigger than your book, and your brand is, too. Every (business) brand — especially your author brand — tells a story. When done right, a brand tells the story you want to share in a way that inspires people to take action, exactly how you would like them to.
Season 2 digs into all aspects of an author brand, helping you realize that your brand is much bigger than you realize. Let’s design you an author brand.
Book marketing success isn’t about doing all the things; it’s about doing the right things to reach the right people who are looking to invest in your message. The secret to get there is a lovely little methodology called inbound marketing which is our topic for this season. Uncover the what, the why and the how of inbound marketing and learn how attracting and engaging the right readers is usually more effective than advertising and direct selling.
Season 11 highlights the importance of giving value first instead of just looking for the next book sale. If our team can help you with your inbound marketing efforts, let’s chat.
Our world has become extremely visual. One that makes us a bit more “social” and, now more than ever before, photos matter. From selfies to live photos and headshot to lifestyle branding, photography is a way we tell stories, and for my author friends out there, I wanted to make sure you have what you need to tell your visual story in a way that complements your written one.
Season 5 highlights focuses the lens on the photography insights you need to accompany your author branding efforts. Let’s talk photos.
Plans offer a path. They help you create goals and metrics to know you’ve achieved them. They give you direction and focus, ensuring you don’t get sideswiped by shiny new offerings. Plans are door openers, game-changing and business-alerting when they are being used. No dust-collecting plans over here. I live for living, breathing plans that help you get where you want to go.
This season of The emPowered Author Podcast highlights all things plans… how to create a marketing plan and leverage it to write a marketable book, build a business, sell books and more. If our team can help you with your book or business marketing plan, let’s chat.
Hosting a podcast can be a powerful solution for reaching readers. While being a guest on podcasts can increase visibility and book sales, with strategic purpose, hosting your own podcast can be even more impactful.
