ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
If you have one book and no audience, you do not need a complicated marketing machine.
You need a simple path that helps the right stranger discover you, become interested, join your email list, buy the book, and stay connected long enough to become a future reader.
In this video, I break down the exact author funnel I would build from scratch with just one book and no existing audience. We’ll cover discovery, reader magnets, email lists, welcome sequences, book pages, backmatter, reviews, and why I would not rush into direct sales or heavy ads too early.
The real goal of your first-book funnel is not to squeeze maximum profit from one book. It is to make sure your next book does not launch to zero people.
If you are an aspiring author, indie author, or first-time self-publisher trying to build an audience from scratch, this video will help you connect the different pieces of book marketing into one simple system.
