    HUB 510: AUTHOR PANEL - Anne Bartolucci and David Newman
    Jun 23 2026
    You’ve written a book, and you’re getting close to publishing it. You know launch day matters, and you want the book to make an impact. Don’t make this common but costly mistake: skip building a launch team. Authors often assume a few social posts, an email or two, and maybe some goodwill from their network will be enough. But without a launch team in place, there’s no group of readers ready to post reviews and boost early visibility. A launch team is not just a nice extra. It is one of the smartest ways to turn your launch into a real business development opportunity. The right team can help wake up your network in a way that leads to sales conversations and referrals. I’m a book launch strategist. I share my launch strategies in my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue.” I recommend reading it if you want a strategy to drive 50 or more Amazon reviews and build a stronger pipeline from your book to your business. I’m happy to chat. You can find the book, bonus content, and an invitation to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Anne Bartolucci wrote "Better Sleep for the Overachiever," a practical and science-backed guide that helps high-performing professionals improve their sleep so they can think more clearly, perform at a higher level, and sustain their energy without burning out. David Newman is the author of multiple books, including his latest "Market Eminence: 22 Strategies to Build a Bold Personal Brand, Become a Business Celebrity, and Drive Unstoppable Growth," a high-impact playbook that shows entrepreneurs how to stand out in a crowded marketplace, build authority, and turn their expertise into consistent visibility and revenue. Please join me in welcoming Anne and David. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Don’t Skip the Launch Team: Without one, you do not have readers ready to post early reviews. 🟠 Reviews Create Early Lift: A review plan supports credibility and visibility right after publication. 🟠 Publishing Has Changed: The panel reflects on how traditional, hybrid, and independent publishing paths continue to shift. 🟠 Major Media Isn’t the Gatekeeper: The old rules around “legitimacy” and media reviews are different now. 🟠 Stand Out in a Noisy Market: Differentiation gets harder when everyone can publish content fast.

    HUB 509: AUTHOR PANEL - Amy Climer, Daria Rudnik, and Tissa Richards
    Jun 16 2026
    You’re thinking about writing a book. You’ve got an idea, a message you care about, and a sense that becoming an author will elevate your credibility. But here’s a question worth asking before you start writing. Will this book actually create opportunities for your business? Many speakers and coaches assume that simply having a book will be enough. That it will attract clients and lead to speaking engagements. But without a clear strategy behind it, a book can easily become a lot of effort with very little return. Before you write, it’s important to step back and ask a few key questions: Who is this book really for? The answer can’t be “everyone.” What problem does it solve? Does the reader KNOW they have this problem? How does the book connect to your offers? Do you need to rename them? And what do you want a reader to do after they finish it? If they love your book, how can they find you, and what can they do with you next? Those are exactly the kinds of questions we explore in the Author ROI Lab, a small group program designed to help entrepreneurs decide whether the book they’re considering is worth writing and how to leverage it for real business results. To learn more, visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Amy Climer wrote "Deliberate Creative Teams: How to Lead for Innovative Results," a practical leadership guide that helps teams build the skills, mindset, and structures needed to consistently generate innovative ideas and turn them into meaningful results. Daria Rudnik wrote "CLICKING: A Team Building Strategy for Overloaded Leaders Who Want Stronger Team Trust, Better Results, and More Time," a results-driven framework that shows leaders how to strengthen trust, improve collaboration, and create more efficient, high-performing teams without adding more to their plate. Tissa Richards is the author of two books, including "Rethinking Resilience: Fueling Your Competitive Advantage," a strategic guide that challenges traditional views of resilience and shows leaders how to leverage it as a powerful driver of performance, adaptability, and long-term success. Please join me in welcoming Amy, Daria, and Tissa. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Write for a Specific Reader: Get clear about who the book is for and why it matters. 🟠 Contrarian Perspective: Sharing a contrarian point of view could be a competitive advantage. 🟠 Turn Trust into Results: A team trust framework becomes a practical path to stronger outcomes and more time. 🟠 Set a Review Goal: A clear review target created focus and momentum early. 🟠 Expect Post-Launch Energy Dips: Launch success still requires recovery time and a plan to restart momentum. 🟠 Keep Giving Goodwill: Buying books, writing reviews, and supporting others builds reciprocal visibility over time.

    HUB 508: AUTHOR PANEL - Laura Biewer, Marva Bailer, and Mila Johansen
    Jun 9 2026
    One of the biggest decisions an author has to make, and often their first question: What is the right publishing path for my book? Too many entrepreneurs get stuck comparing traditional, hybrid, and independent publishing without a clear way to evaluate what fit50s their goals. The question you should ask yourself is which path makes the most sense based on your priorities around time, money, control, and how much of the publishing process you want to understand and manage yourself. That’s one of many conversations we have inside The Author ROI Lab. I help entrepreneurs step back and think strategically about the book before they invest months of effort. We look at what kind of support they need, what tradeoffs they are willing to make, and how to choose a publishing path that aligns with their business goals, resources, and desired return on investment. If you’re considering writing a book and want to make smarter decisions from the start, learn more about The Author ROI Lab at www.RobbieSamuels.com/Lab. And now, let’s meet our author panel… Laura Biewer wrote "The Compassionate Notary: A Field Guide to Signings in Hospitals, Hospice and for the Homebound," a practical and heartfelt guide that helps notaries navigate sensitive signings with professionalism, empathy, and confidence when serving clients in vulnerable circumstances. Marva Bailer wrote "Be Unexpected: Resetting Routines to Revolutionize the Future of Work," a forward-thinking book that challenges leaders to rethink patterns and embrace more human-centered, innovative approaches to work, leadership, and organizational culture. Mila Johansen wrote "101 Surprising Tips To Promote Your Book: When & How to Build Hype," a practical marketing guide packed with creative ideas to help authors generate buzz, increase visibility, and promote their books more strategically before, during, and after launch. Please join me in welcoming Laura, Marva, and Mila. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Choose The Right Publishing Path: Evaluate traditional, hybrid, and independent options through time, money, and control. 🟠 Define Success Metrics Early: Set goals for reviews, sales, and opportunities like speaking invites. 🟠 Use A 99-Cent Promo with Intention: A short discount window can work best when paired with coordinated outreach. 🟠 Build Hype Before Launch: Start visibility and buzz-building before you ask people to buy. 🟠 Compare PR Versus Organic Marketing: A PR-first approach can differ from a community-driven promotion strategy. 🟠 Expect Hidden Amazon Details: Self-publishing has small technical steps that can trip up first-time authors.
