HUB 384: AUTHOR PANEL – Jan Raeder, John Saunders, and Marva Bailer

Share the goodness!

Welcome to another author panel for my rebranded podcast, the Biz Book Publishing Hub! These authors participated in one of my Kindle Cross-Promotion campaigns, in which business authors lowered their Kindle book prices to 99 cents or $1.99.

I organize these twice a year around Amazon Prime Days and Black Friday. 100+ authors work collaboratively to spread the word and boost book sales. Each time, dozens of books reach #1 Best Seller in at least one category, and 7 out of 10 books reach the Top 10 for at least one category. 

It’s been a great way to generate interest in evergreen books published many years earlier and celebrate recent publications.

The best part is that our collaboration doesn’t end when the campaign is over. Nearly every author opted to sign up for an author panel after the event. These panel discussions focus on the ROI of publishing a business book.

With me today are three authors:

  • Jan Raeder authored “Strive for M.O.R.E.: What Wellbeing Really Means & How You Can Achieve It.”
  • John Saunders wrote “The Optimizer: Building and Leading a Team of Serial Innovators.” 
  • Marva Bailer is the author of “Be Unexpected: Resetting Routines to Revolutionize the Future of Work.”

Please join me in welcoming Jan, John, and Marva.
