Your book might not be available on Amazon right now due to a drone strike on Amazon’s data centers in the Middle East from the current war.

Is yours working?

I saw a post on Threads talking about how it might feel strange to market your book or offer due to *gestures everywhere*

Here’s the thing: books provide an escape. People need something to mentally escape or to better themselves

Of course, you should be mindful of and sensitive to what’s going on.

Take breaks as needed. And be transparent with your audience.

But one thing I think about is this:

What if Anne Frank decided she didn’t want to write in her diary?

We’d likely not know her story.

Our books provide some sort sunshine between the clouds.

Your books or working may be the bright spot someone needs to get through the day.

Signed a done for you publishing client today 🤗🥳

She keeps her rights and royalties while I complete her book for her AND show her understand the publishing process.

It’s like project managing and executing your publishing while you learn the ropes.

Learning how to publish and doing it at the same time can be stressful while also writing a book.

My services eliminate that stress WHILE empowering experts & leaders to keep creative control.

I love that for them and for me 🥹.

If you’re interested in having a similar service for you, then book a consult call to see if this would be a good fit for you.

Like the poet and thought leader, Kendrick Lamar once said, “It's not enough”.

❌ Uploading your book to Amazon KDP for your preorder doesn't automatically equal sales.
❌ Posting your book in groups asking people to buy is not enough.

Instead, you need a series of systematic steps to have a successful preorder.

That's what Preorder Profits™ provides.

Secure your VIP spot for the Preorder Profits™ Challenge and get a free copy of my book that teaches the strategy as well.

Day 1 is March 23rd, so sign up to give time for your book to arrive before we start.

Story time:

One of my readers shared my book with one of her mentors.

That mentor (whose work I love & admire) asked me to come speak. 🥹

I interviewed that reader about how my book & challenge helped her generate $4k in book PREORDERS in 4 weeks.

That same reader’s follower loved the interview & emailed me saying how much she loved my mission to help authors.

She bought my book & signed up for the challenge a year after my reader…

What you’re doing is all interconnected.

Start now.

The seeds you plant today will help you harvest later.

If you never start, you’ll never eat.

Write your book.
Publish your book.
Market your book.

People need the gifts you have and an excellent way to share it with them is through your books and offers.

Stop saying you’ll write your book later and get the help you need to do it today.

If you know 2026 is your year to release a book that builds your brand, then book a time to talk with me here Www.ShepPublishingHouse.com/contact

One of my podcast listeners DM'd me and shared that she stated implementing immediately after listening to Episode 7.

"Sure enough, I'm talking to some of them and the language I was using is not even what they say. However the pattern is the same. I realized that how they got there vs how I got there isn't the same. Just by doing what you said on the podcast yesterday, I'm learning that this is why I have to slow down and not rush to get this book out. I have to slow down to make sure I produce the right thing, because WOW! "

This personal development coach and her audience They were talking about the same thing, but not using the same words.

That's the power of doing the work and understanding your reader/client's journey.

Take a listen to Episode 7 of Profitable Publishing™ to learn how to make sure you're speaking to your clients the right way.

So my podcast got 45 streams on a SATURDAY (Valentine's Day).

Normally, it gets like 10 or less on Saturdays.

Since starting the podcast, I like to go back and look at the data to see what is working and what changes need to be made.

I'm new to the podcast trenches, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise!

Here's what I think made the difference...

My episodes release on Wednesdays.

Then on Saturday, I posted a reel encouraging people to listen. I used a fun comparison about the Oxford comma (which is apparently a hot debate.)

Then I scheduled an email with the same topic, but exploring a different point.

The email brought 3 listeners.

Lastly I also used Podcast SEO to help (but am still seeing what works)

The use of the Oxford comma was one of the hot points in the reel. So I'm assuming that encouraged people to take a listen.

Either way, it's been quite the journey navigating the world of podcasting.

(I still have more listeners on Apple Music than spotify for those who were following when I shared those previous stats.)

Any fellow podcasters out there notice a difference in your episodes over the weekend?
