Welcome to author marketing minute

In this first episode, host Lynn McGinnis introduces Author Marketing Minute — a podcast created to help indie authors build lasting visibility without burnout or gimmicks. She shares what listeners can expect, why author marketing is different from book marketing, and how meaningful visibility starts with relationships, not transactions. Lynn also introduces her philosophy on making one small move at a time to create real, sustainable momentum

what is author marketing

Most authors think marketing means selling more books — but real author marketing is something entirely different. In this episode, Lynn breaks down the difference between book marketing and author marketing, showing why the first feels exhausting and the second creates real, lasting visibility. If you’ve ever wondered why your ads, posts, or promotions aren’t working, this short episode will help you see the bigger picture — and rethink what marketing can look like when it’s built on relationships, not transactions.

One Small move beats a massive overhaul

Feeling overwhelmed by all the things you’re “supposed” to do to market your book? You’re not alone. In this episode, Lynn shares why momentum doesn’t come from doing everything — it comes from doing one small, strategic thing at a time. Through real-world examples and insights from her coaching work, she explains how to shift from scattered effort to focused progress — and why clarity, not complexity, is what truly builds visibility.
