October 17, 2023

I’ve just released my book, “Empty Nest Awakening: Weaving the Threads of Your Passions into Purpose.” In this episode, I’m sharing a little about the book, why I wrote it, and how it relates to my work as an online marketing coach. I’ll also give you some insider knowledge on how to successfully launch your own book.

Be consistent with your small following

A small, engaged following is better than having tons of followers who never engage with your content. Everyday I have to block fake followers. They’re not going to grow your community or engage with you in a productive way.



Consistency creates opportunity

Some people will follow you but not engage for a long time. Make sure your profile name and bio accurately reflect what you do and what you can do for them.



I recently had two followers who were just lurking on my page but were watching me because of my name, Authentic Online Marketing Pod. But because they knew who I was and what I can do for them, they reached out and I was able to book two speaking engagements at their conferences.



Consistency builds community

I knew I needed to write a book this year but I was struggling to reign myself in and get on track.



But at every juncture God sent me who I needed at that time. All I knew is that I didn’t want to format my book and I didn’t want to make the book cover.



Formatting “Empty Nest Awakening”

The Lord brought Mandy Roberson into my life who asked me to speak at her conference. I learned what Mandy did for authors and I was so excited to learn that she could do all of the formatting and design work for me!



Small but mighty

I might have a small number of followers, but they’re a mighty number and they are excited for my book! People will take notice of you if you’re consistent.
