Episode 135: Pre-Plan for a Successful Book Launch with Amanda Warfield

Book writing and publishing is always a coveted achievement by any author. However, a good book that serves its intended purpose has great untold stories of dedication, sacrifice, and commitment behind the scenes. Amanda, a return guest in the show, talks about her book-writing journey and whether the book serves the original goal intended.

Among the tips she shares include the need for beta readers to guide you through making adjustments and decisions on the book and making sure that you let the world know every step you make with the book. Sharing information about the book earlier is golden as it keeps people eager to wait.

Amanda Warfield is a simplicity-focused content marketing and launch strategist, author of the book Chasing Simple Marketing, and host of Chasing Simple - a podcast to help creative entrepreneurs uncomplicate their marketing and business.

She traded in her classroom lesson plans for educating creative entrepreneurs on sustainably fitting content marketing into their business without it taking over their business -  so that they have time to move the needle in their business, take time off, and live the life they dreamed about when they first started their own business.

If her nose isn't in a book, you can find Amanda annoying her husband by slipping Disney into every conversation, or forcing her cats to snuggle.
