Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

198. Reach and serve readers with Becky Robinson, host of Book Marketing Action
Q: What have you seen be the big things that have changed in marketing since your book released and with AI influencing content?
AI has accelerated content repurposing, though Becky remains personally cautious about over-reliance on AI; the core changes include increased competition and noise, the ongoing importance of leveraging a personal network, and focusing on engagement and service rather than chasing vanity metrics.
198. Reach and serve readers with Becky Robinson, host of Book Marketing Action
Q: Becky, can you talk into the struggle that people worry about when starting content before they're sure they'll write a book?
Starting early is often not too early; in fact, it may be too late to start if you wait, because showing up consistently in online spaces builds value, relationships, and a platform that can inform and support a future book.
195. Marketing multiple genres far and wide with PodMatch with Kira Hartley Klinger
Q: How did PodMatch change your approach to marketing and reaching readers?
She discusses discovering PodMatch after an initial fear of public speaking, using podcast appearances to reach audiences beyond local guilds, and realizing she could help others while promoting multiple works.
195. Marketing multiple genres far and wide with PodMatch with Kira Hartley Klinger
Q: Tell us a little bit about your writing journey and how you got started with so many different kinds of books.
Kira explains she began writing decades ago, moved through fiction, then pivoted to memoir-style journals about her buying-and-selling experiences, and eventually expanded into children's books inspired by personal relationships and family history.
199. Why many good books don't sell with Julie Broad of Book Launchers
Q: Why does marketing matter if marketing alone doesn't sell books?
Marketing builds awareness and an ecosystem; sales come from the ongoing engagement and placement within an audience, not from a single tactic. The goal is to create an ongoing path from discovery to engagement to conversion over time.
