Authors, Creators & Visionaries

Sep 9 2020 • 57 mins

Drew Linsalata sold 1100 books in 40 days --- with no launch team or heavy marketing. But it's critical for authors to understand HOW he did that, because it certainly wasn't as simple as posting once to social media and watching the sales flood in!


This fascinating conversation with "the accidental bestseller" reveals:


  • (7:51 ) Whether or not people want to hear about what you want to write about.
  • (9:25) How your experience can organically morph into a career helping others based on your experience
  • (10:20) How to start a podcast more simply than you ever imagined - debunks almost everything you’ve heard about how you “should” build a podcast
  • (14:55) How NOT to panic about growing an audience
  • (19:15) How Drew created an on-brand, intentional Facebook group unlike any other he’s seen
  • (30:55) What held Drew back from getting the book written, and how one podcast episode shifted his mindset completely
