Listen:
I first met Anna David when she reached out on social media to her followers to set up a launch team. Intrigued with what she did and HOW she did it, I happily agreed to be a part of the team, and emailed her to tell her who I was, where I taught and that I had a podcast, too.
Anna got back to me, and we bonded with our mutual background in traditional media. I love that she did a mini coaching session with me in this episode, which also covers:
*How Anna came up with the topic of her book [4:09]
*Using your book cover to promote your book and your business [11:39]
*A site that you can use to grow your authority [10:34]
*Using your team to get the word out [7:39]
*How speaking about your book can become lucrative, and where to start [23:35]
*Anna’s best tips for marketing yourself as an expert [23:37]
