Today's guest, Robbie Samuels, is an award-winning author of four books that have collectively received over 900 Amazon reviews and reached #1 Best Seller in 30 categories.

As a book launch strategist, he coaches entrepreneurs to build launch teams that generate referrals, grow their pipeline, and get 50+ Amazon reviews. He also designs and emcees virtual book launch parties that lead prospects to an offer.

He founded the Biz Book Pub Hub, a community with dozens of experts ready to help entrepreneurs navigate writing, editing, publishing, and marketing their business books. He hosts the Biz Book Pub Hub Podcast and free virtual networking events for writers, authors, and speakers.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why authors don't need to chase vanity metrics like Amazon #1 Bestseller status

• Understanding the difference between your publication date and your launch date

• The reason verified reviews matter, and how to calculate the right launch team size to get them

• How to use your book to build relationships that lead to speaking engagements, coaching clients, and collaborations

• Robbie's current favorites: Book: The Tipping Point, Speaker: Dorie Clark, and Podcast: Biz Book Pub Hub

During these done-with-you days, I support speakers and thought leaders in becoming laser-focused on their desires and ideas. I equip them with comprehensive systems to skyrocket their impact and open doors to coveted stages. And that's what you'll hear in today's episode.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Working out your core message and mining for the idea that you uniquely have to share

• How to use your voice in a way that helps others rather than shames them

• Crafting a companion talk for your book and why it shouldn't sound exactly like your book

• Identifying the audience that needs to hear your talk, and seeing how it might be broader than you think
