What if becoming a #1 bestselling author is actually the wrong goal?

Award-winning author Robbie Samuels has hit #1 bestseller status in 37 categories across four countries—and then realized the title itself wasn’t what built his business.

In this episode of Tell Me Why You’re Special, Robbie and I get into what actually makes a book successful: written reviews, relationships, audience research, strategic launches, long-term authority, and having a plan for what happens after someone buys the damn book.

We also get into podcasting, vanity metrics, why downloads and rankings don’t tell the whole story, and how both books and podcasts can become powerful business assets when they’re built with an actual purpose.

If you’re an author, aspiring author, podcaster, coach, or entrepreneur who thinks hitting “publish” is the finish line—listen to this one.
I'm an award-winning author of four books that have received more than 900 written Amazon reviews and reached #1 Best Seller in 37 categories across four countries.

The latter did nothing to help me grow my business, yet everyone seems focused on these vanity metrics of hitting #1 Best Seller.

Instead, as a book launch strategist, I design and implement launches for entrepreneurs that lead to 50+ Amazon reviews (social proof) and turn their book into a business development tool that attracts new revenue and media opportunities.

I'm on a mission to change how entrepreneurial authors think about the success metrics of a strategic launch. If I'm invited on your show, I won't hold back! Ask me anything about my process, and I'll share the information with your audience. I love when it's a conversation that allows us to dig deeper into my answers.

I wrote about my book launch strategies in my fourth book, "LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur's Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue." You'll find the book, bonus content, podcast guest appearances, and more at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com.

I'm the founder of the Biz Book Pub Hub, a resource ecosystem for entrepreneurial authors that includes a curated directory of experts who support authors along their journey, free virtual networking events, Kindle Flash Sales, and a podcast (500+ episodes recorded): www.BizBookPubHub.com.
