Have you ever followed popular marketing advice that worked wonders for someone else but completely fell flat for you? Or have you watched another author succeed with a strategy you were told would never work?

That’s because book marketing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

In this week’s episode, I talk with USA Today bestselling author Russell Nohelty about Author Ecosystems—a framework that helps you understand the type of author you are and which marketing strategies are most likely to work for you.

You’ll discover:

• Why some authors succeed with rapid release while others succeed with traditional launches
• How to identify your own ecosystem and tailor your marketing strategy accordingly
• Which types of authors complement one another best

Whether you’re struggling to gain traction or just want to work smarter, this conversation will give you clarity and direction.

Most authors are thinking about AI the wrong way. AI isn’t really a tool for writing books, but it’s quickly becoming the most powerful tool for selling them. Even if you’re not using LLMs like ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or Claude, your readers are.

In fact, today, readers across the globe asked AI, “What book should I read next?”

Did ChatGPT recommend your book? How can you make sure it does?

If your book isn’t showing up in AI-generated recommendations, this week’s episode will tell you how you can make it happen.

Tune in to discover:

• Which of your digital assets is the most important AI optimization tool
• How to structure your website’s book pages so AI can read and understand them
• Which social media platforms AI trains on (and where your book info should be!)

Soon, there will be two types of authors: those recommended by AI and those wondering why their sales plummeted.

Don’t be left wondering why your sales took a dive! Listen in or read the blog version of this episode to help readers more easily discover your book with all the new search options they’re using.
