About this listen

 My journey to becoming a published author wasn’t as glamorous as it seemed. After going all-in on the launch of Be Seen, I experienced the highs and lows of the process: launch burnout, unexpected struggles, and an intense learning curve. But despite the challenges, writing a book has been one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done. Now, two years later, I’ve gained invaluable perspective on what it really takes to keep a book alive beyond its launch, and I’m here to share it all with you. I’ll teach how to balance your energy, manage expectations, and keep your book’s message alive long after the launch. Whether you're thinking about writing a book or are in the middle of your own launch, this episode will save you time, energy, and frustration by shedding light on the behind-the-scenes reality of being an author. "You will get bad reviews. If you don't, it means no one's paying attention" ~ Jen Gottlieb In this Episode: - Introduction and celebrating Be Seen’s two-year anniversary - Launch burnout: what it really feels like and how to avoid it - Managing energy throughout the book launch process - Promoting your book is a long game - The powerful credibility that comes with being an author - Reading the audible is challenging and exhausting - Negative reviews are a sign that your book is being seen - Book two feels harder - Keeping your book alive with meetups and continued engagement Where to find me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/jen_gottlieb/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jen_gottlieb Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Jenleahgottlieb Website: https://jengottlieb.com/ My business: https://www.superconnectormedia.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jen_gottlieb
