Be honest, have you ever asked yourself one of these questions:

  • “I’ve tried everything to market my book, but nothing’s working. What should I do?”
  • “How do I know if my book is a lost cause?”
  • “Why isn’t my book getting any traction, and how can I fix it?”
  • “Is it worth investing more time and money into marketing my book?”

Every author faces that moment of doubt—when book sales stall, marketing feels like a dead end, and you start wondering if it’s time to walk away.

But before you throw in the towel, let’s take a closer look at what’s really holding your book back.

In this episode, we tackle the biggest challenges that can make or break a book’s success—and, more importantly, how to overcome them. Whether it’s a marketing misstep, a visibility issue, or simply the need for a fresh approach, we’ll help you pinpoint what’s not working and what can work.

Quitting isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, a few strategic changes can breathe new life into your book’s journey. Tune in for actionable insights, real talk on what it takes to turn things around, and a much-needed dose of encouragement. Your book’s story isn’t over yet.
