About this episode

Jenn discusses the factors that lead to book sales success, contrasting two authors with different follower counts.

Three years ago, Jenn watched an author with 8,000 engaged Instagram followers sell zero copies of her book, and the reason had nothing to do with her platform or her content quality. In this episode, she shares what was actually missing, and contrasts it with a second author who had fewer than 1,000 followers and was outselling authors with ten times her audience. If you've been showing up, building an audience, and still not selling, this episode is going to name exactly what's getting in the way. LINKS 90-Day Book Sales System Done- WITH -You Sessions
