United Kingdom2 months ago - Helpful for Traditionally, Independently, and Pre-published authors
I found these step-by-step marketing podcasts extremely helpful. Lou’s podcasts assist pre-published authors on how to begin a marketing plan well ahead of publication. Independently published, traditionally published, and pre-published authors alike may benefit from Lou’s ‘lessons.’ In particular, her podcasts about routine newsletters appealed to me. An added bonus . . . her podcasts are short, yet full of useful information.

Apple Podcasts5NY SwainUnited States2 years ago - Marketing in a munch!
I really enjoyed listening to the first, bite-sized episode, which gives a friendly introduction into marketing for authors, and respects our busy schedules while doing so. The challenge at the end was a lovely way to see how Lou’s tips can be used in real life.
A cosy, comforting and encouraging podcast.
