HUB 476: AUTHOR PANEL – Amanda Slade and Marcia Dawood

by Robbie Samuels | Oct 14, 2025 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

You’ve poured your heart into your manuscript, and now you’re holding the keys to a whole new adventure. Publishing doesn’t close the chapter—it flips the page to the part where your book truly comes alive.

Turning your words into a printed or digital book is just the beginning of your author odyssey. The real magic happens when you connect with readers, spark conversations, and watch your message ripple out into the world.

That’s why I partner with entrepreneurs to design launch strategies that do more than sell books—they forge genuine bonds. We’ll pinpoint who needs your book most, then map out launch events and content that keeps engagement thriving long after day one. Think of your book as a catalyst for business growth, not a one-off product.

If you’re ready to transform your launch into an engine for influence, let’s brainstorm together. Book a complimentary 30-minute session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com and let’s explore how to align your book with your bigger goals.

Today’s panel will dive into real-world lessons from authors who’ve walked this road. You’ll hear what fueled their successes, where they hit bumps, and the insights that reshaped their approach.

Amanda Slade shares her journey with “Evolve Into Your All: Create & Live in the 5th Dimension of Love, Joy & Prosperity!,” a powerful blend of science and spirituality designed to elevate your life and business by tapping into the 5th Dimension.

Marcia Dawood reveals how her book,  “Do Good While Doing Well: Invest for Change, Reap Financial Rewards, and Increase Your Happiness,” equips you to harness angel investing for social impact, financial gain, and personal fulfillment.

Please join me in welcoming Amanda and Marcia.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

🟠 How Content Becomes a Book—and More: these authors reveal how years of lived expertise, workshops, and podcasts seeded books that now serve as gateways to signature programs and business growth.

🟠 The Overlooked Engine of Discovery: Find out why intentional review strategies (not just hoping and wishing) fuel long-term book visibility, Amazon love, and actual new client leads.

🟠 Extending Your Reach: Learn how Kindle Flash Sales, bundle offers, and speaking tie-ins can breathe new life into your business book well after launch day.

🟠 Why Going Solo is a Trap: Both authors share the real impact of community-driven marketing, including launch teams, flash sales, and cross-promotions for widening your influence and building your book’s business value.
