    I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey. Today’s guest is a book marketing strategist. If book marketing feels like a never-ending to-do list, you’re not alone. She works with nonfiction authors—especially business owners, coaches, and consultants—who want to grow their impact and income through their books without feeling like they’ve sold their soul to sales. Instead of chasing short-term accolades like bestseller status, she helps authors shift toward strategies that feel good and build long-term results: clarifying their message, deepening reader relationships, and building community around their ideas. Through her Buzzworthy Book Experience and signature BEES Marketing Method, she helps authors create visibility, authority, and income, with strategies that feel authentic, not exhausting. Her approach centers on simplicity and alignment with your values, whether you're launching your first book or reimagining your next move. Please join me in welcoming Judy Baker.

    HUB 465: AUTHOR PANEL - Dan Gingiss, Deborah Stine, and Helen Holton
    Jul 29 2025
    How do you define success as an entrepreneurial author? Is it when your book opens doors and sparks conversations? Books should make people think, “I need to talk to them.” That might lead to a speaking invitation, a consulting opportunity, a new client, or a connection you never saw coming. The more clearly you show up in your expertise, the more those doors start to swing open. I’m on a mission to help entrepreneurs figure out how to turn their book into a business asset, not just a business card. If you’re curious about what your book might open up for you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Let’s explore what’s possible. Now, I’m excited to introduce three authors who know this journey well. Dan Gingiss is the author of “Becoming The Experience Maker: Turn Everyday Interactions into Remarkable Customer Experiences,” which shows businesses how to transform ordinary customer interactions into powerful word-of-mouth marketing opportunities. Deborah Stine wrote “From Expertise to Impact: A Practical Guide to Informing and Influencing Science and Technology Policy,” a guide that helps scientists, engineers, and health professionals use their knowledge to shape public policy and create real-world change. Helen Holton wrote “Intentional Leadership: How to Drive Leaders, Visions, and Teams Forward,” a thoughtful, practical book for leaders who are ready to lead with clarity, purpose, and renewed energy. Please join me in welcoming Dan, Deborah, and Helen. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Stories as Business Accelerators: Discover why weaving real stories and personal experiences into your business book not only captivates—it's what opens doors, lands speaking engagements, and builds your reputation as an expert in your field. 🟠 Launch & Leverage: Get tried-and-tested tactics for building a strong book launch team, gathering Amazon reviews, pricing your business book for your target audience, and using your book to connect with dream clients. 🟠 From Doubt to Done: Learn the mental shifts and accountability hacks that helped these first-time and seasoned authors push through perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the notorious mid-book slump. 🟠 Building a Post-Launch Playbook: See how a book serves as more than a calling card—think actionable frameworks, workshop offers, companion downloads, and content upgrades that drive real business growth and new revenue streams.

    Jul 22 2025
    When you start writing a book, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make every word perfect. But here’s the truth: your first draft is just the beginning. The real transformation happens through revision, reflection, and the support you gather along the way. Writing a book doesn’t have to be a lonely or overwhelming journey. At the Biz Book Pub Hub, we’re creating a different experience—one where authors are supported by a community of experts who can guide you from the first sentence to a fully launched and strategically marketed book. Whether you’re facing creative roadblocks, shaping your message, or building your author platform, the Hub connects you with the tools, feedback, and community that can help. Plus, our free virtual networking events give you the chance to learn from professionals and connect with fellow authors who get what this process is really like. If you’re looking for guidance on the writing journey, visit www.BizBookPubHub.com and explore how we can support your next step. Now, let’s hear from today’s panelists as they share how they moved from blank page to published book—and how that book helped grow their impact and business. Jim MacLeod wrote “The Visual Marketer: The Marketer's Crash Course for Creating Memorable and Effective Visuals,” a practical guide that empowers marketers to create high-impact, results-driven visuals—without needing a design background—by mastering essential design principles and tools. Susan Fitzell wrote “Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Maximizing Success through Inclusive Dynamic Workplace Design™,” a strategic guide for C-suite leaders to unlock innovation and boost performance by building inclusive, neurodiverse teams through practical, business-driven solutions. Wendy Hutchinson wrote “Finding the Path of Me: Awakening to Remembering Who I Am and Why I Am Here,” a powerful guide to healing, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening—offering tools and insights to help you release what no longer serves you and rise into your most authentic, empowered self. Please join me in welcoming Jim, Susan, and Wendy. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Defining Your Ideal Reader and Evolving Your Audience: Hear how these authors cracked the code on identifying (and adapting to) their book’s core audience, making their work more relevant for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking transformation. 🟠 The Power of Community and Collaboration: Find out how leveraging networks, launch teams, and cross-promotion campaigns can transform the often lonely book-writing journey into a launchpad for lasting success. 🟠 From Imposter Syndrome to Impact: Get candid insights on overcoming vulnerability, perfectionism, and the “am I really the expert?” spiral—and why building support systems pays off. 🟠 Building Reviews and Reader Buzz—The Smart Way: Practical strategies for gathering meaningful Amazon reviews, boosting discoverability, and ensuring your book reaches far beyond your inner circle.
