Beyond the Book Podcast
Welcome to the Beyond the Book Podcast 🎉
I help authors make money beyond selling books and turn their stories into empires. This means...
- Readers First Growth: Treating your marketing as a "product" and approaching all reader discovery from a creator-first mindset so that you can leverage social platforms to grow faster than ever
- Readers First Storytelling: Immersing fans into your stories across media formats (including but not limited to story letters, interactive stories, ebooks, audiobooks, serial podcasts, web movies, and more)
- Readers First Products: Creating physical and digital products connected to your stories that serve your readers (merch, games, drinks, food, candles, community, and more)
In just 2 months, the Beyond the Book Podcast already has thousands of listeners every single month. Don't miss out on getting the inside scoop on how authors are succeeding in the future of publishing!
