HUB 383: AUTHOR PANEL - Cornelia Kawann, Jenn Grace, and Tom Collins
Description
Welcome to the first author panel for my rebranded podcast, the Biz Book Publishing Hub!
I’m thrilled by the results from my last Kindle Cross-Promotion Campaign around Amazon Prime Days. 77 business books from 70 authors were lowered to 99 cents or $1.99.
We worked collaboratively to spread the word and were able to boost book sales. 70% reached the Top 10 in at least one category, and 30% reached #1 Best Seller in at least one category.
Before the campaign began, I took screenshots of my books’ sales rankings. I was amazed that one of my books went from #466,306 to #27,638, and another went from #227,051 to #14,600. This is further proof that our efforts led to sales.
The best part is that our collaboration hasn’t ended. Nearly every Amazon Prime Days Kindle Cross-Promotion Campaign 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:
- Jenn T. Grace, author of “Publish Your Purpose: A Step-By-Step Guide to Write, Publish, and Grow Your Big Idea” - she’s also a publisher and one of the Biz Book Publishing Hub Founding Partners.
- Cornelia Kawann, author of “Change Your Energy - Change Your Life”
- Tom Collins, co-author of “I Am Perfectly Flawsome: How Embracing Imperfection Makes Us Better”
All three books reached #1 Best Seller during the campaign. Well done.
Please join me in welcoming Jenn, Cornelia, and Tom.
