About this episode
Jenn discusses the real reason authors struggle to find readers, emphasizing the importance of messaging over visibility.
If your book isn't reaching readers and your first instinct is to post more, try a new platform, or run ads, this episode is going to stop you before you spend another dollar or another hour. Jenn breaks down the real reason most authors can't find their readers: it's not a visibility problem, it's a messaging problem. You'll learn what it actually means to market to your ideal reader (instead of everyone), why specificity is what makes readers stop scrolling, and the one question you need to answer before you create another piece of content.
