I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey. 

Today’s guest is a book marketing strategist. If book marketing feels like a never-ending to-do list, you’re not alone. She works with nonfiction authors—especially business owners, coaches, and consultants—who want to grow their impact and income through their books without feeling like they’ve sold their soul to sales.

Instead of chasing short-term accolades like bestseller status, she helps authors shift toward strategies that feel good and build long-term results: clarifying their message, deepening reader relationships, and building community around their ideas. Through her Buzzworthy Book Experience and signature BEES Marketing Method, she helps authors create visibility, authority, and income, with strategies that feel authentic, not exhausting. Her approach centers on simplicity and alignment with your values, whether you’re launching your first book or reimagining your next move.

Please join me in welcoming Judy Baker. 

In this episode, we discuss the following:

🟠 Beyond Bestseller Status: Discover why hitting #1 in an Amazon category isn’t the ultimate goal, and what actually grows your business book’s influence (and pipeline). 

🟠 Marketing that Feels Good (and Works): Learn actionable steps for gathering authentic reviews, establishing visibility, and building author-reader relationships that last. 

🟠 Author Mindset Shifts: Get fresh insights on reframing self-promotion, aligning your author identity with your business brand, and moving past impostor feelings. 

🟠 Repurposing & Monetizing Your Content: Hear how successful authors turn book content into workshops, courses, and evergreen business assets—even pivoting in tough times.
