What if marketing your book didn't have to feel like a chore? Janine Coombes is a marketing strategist who helps coach-shaped people position their services as obvious must-haves for their ideal clients. She's also the author of ”The Easy Yes,” a micro book packed with practical wisdom on turning maybes into heartfelt yeses. In this episode, Janine shares the backstory of how a dense workshop became a book, what her live book launch felt like (spoiler: it reminded her of her wedding day), and the Amazon shenanigans that nearly derailed her plans for getting copies into readers' hands.
Janine is also known for bringing humor into everything she does, and her book marketing was no exception. From a now-classic spoof video where she kept ”casually” showing off her book on a mock Zoom call to carrying copies in her bag wherever she goes, Janine proves that when you make marketing fun, you actually do more of it. She also opens up about what's next, including a potential second book tackling the Friend Zone from her Easy Yes model. Whether you're about to launch your first book or looking for fresh energy around one that's already out in the world, this conversation will leave you with a smile and a whole new perspective on getting your book noticed.
