    HUB 484: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Melissa G. Wilson
    Dec 9 2025
    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 powerhouse in the world of thought leadership and publishing—a true connector who helps experts transform their ideas into influential books that make a real difference. She’s built an extraordinary career as both an author and strategist, earning six traditional publishing deals, ten thought leader titles, a New York agent, and even a feature on Oprah. She’s also a Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose award-winning networking books were licensed by major brands like Motorola and Yale’s Graduate School of Business. She founded Networlding Publishing, where she’s guided more than 175 thought leaders through every stage of writing and launching their first books. Along the way, she’s helped global companies like Cisco, Office Depot, and American Express build powerful leadership networks—and even created a thought leader podcast to amplify her authors’ visibility and success. Her passion is helping authors leverage both their books and their relationships to create meaningful impact and lasting influence. Please join me in welcoming Melissa G. Wilson. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Voracious Reader Becomes Publishing Pro: From childhood book lover to Wall Street Journal bestselling author, early influences can shape your lifelong career in business publishing. 🟠 The Power of Strategic Networking: Learn how partnering with corporate leaders and thought leaders can open doors for your business book far beyond what you could do solo—and the best strategies for building the right alliances. 🟠 Making Authorship Accessible: Get the inside scoop on the “33 Ways” framework—an approachable method for first-time (and reluctant) business authors to quickly write, publish, and market a legitimate, business-focused book that stands out. 🟠 Support Circles & Community: Why launching a business book is never a solo act, how to build authentic author support networks, and the proven impact of community-led book launches on long-term business growth.

    HUB 483: AUTHOR PANEL - Dan Gingiss and Marcia Dawood
    Dec 2 2025
    So, your book is out in the world. Are you wondering, “Now what?” That post-launch lull can feel disorienting (I should know, I’m in it right now!). You’ve poured so much into it, but if you don’t have a next step, it’s easy for momentum to fade fast. At the Biz Book Pub Hub, we help you plan for what comes next, whether that’s turning your book into a keynote, a course, or a business development tool. You don’t need to guess. You need a guide. Get plugged in at www.BizBookPubHub.com and keep your book working for you. Our panelists today are here to share what they did before and after their book launch… 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. Marcia Dawood is the author of “Do Good While Doing Well: Invest for Change, Reap Financial Rewards, and Increase Your Happiness,” which equips you to harness angel investing for social impact, financial gain, and personal fulfillment. Please join me in welcoming Dan and Marcia. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Bulk Book Sales for Credibility: Discover why selling books in bulk—especially as part of speaking engagements—can supercharge your visibility, showcase your expertise, and open doors to bigger opportunities. 🟠 The Art of Gathering Amazon Reviews: Get actionable insights into creating dedicated launch teams, mastering polite persistence, and breaking through the 100-review milestone to boost your social proof and Amazon algorithms. 🟠 Listening to Readers and Pivoting: See how tuning in to reader feedback revealed untapped needs and led to the next book, plus why your first audience isn’t always your final audience. 🟠 Collaboration and Kindle Flash Sales: Learn the power of author collaborations—like the Kindle Flash Sale—and why strategic partnerships help you reach new audiences, grow your reputation, and generate fresh leads for speaking and consulting.

  • HUB 482: AUTHOR PANEL - Sophie Lechner and Stacey Larsen

    HUB 482: AUTHOR PANEL - Sophie Lechner and Stacey Larsen
    Nov 25 2025
    What doors could open if you launched your book with a strategy, not just a release date? Today’s panelists are two entrepreneurs who didn’t just publish a book—they launched it with intention. Each followed my launch strategies to build a launch team filled with likely prospects and referral partners, host a high-impact launch event, and turn their book into a business asset. The results speak for themselves: each author received between 71 and 77 Amazon reviews. Nearly every reader left not just a star rating but a written review. This level of engagement sets a book up for long-term discoverability and gives the author more credibility. If you’re wondering what your book could do for your brand—let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to two of my clients. In this conversation, they’ll share what worked, what surprised them, and how following my launch strategy opened doors in their business. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact. Stacey Larsen wrote “Reframing The Leadership Dance: The Secret to Finding Your Rhythm as a People Leader,” exploring innovative leadership approaches. It emphasizes the importance of adaptability and self-discovery in fostering effective leadership practices and navigating complex organizational landscapes. Please join me in welcoming Sophie and Stacey. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Launching for Results, Not Regret: Why having a real strategy (beyond a release date) leads to more reviews, organic reach, and tangible ROI for your business book. 🟠 Building a Launch Team That Sells: Step-by-step tactics to gather a launch team filled with ideal clients and referral partners—and how to guide them to share, review, and advocate for your message. 🟠 Crafting Models That Drive Connection: How both guests distilled years of hands-on experience into memorable, actionable frameworks that help readers and set the stage for business growth. 🟠 From Book to Business Offer: Real-life examples of how a thoughtfully launched book can become the springboard for new programs, offers, and client engagement—plus how to foster long-term discoverability and turn a first book into many.
