Self Promote and Succeed Chapter 6: Networking for Introverts

Self-Promote and Succeed Audiobook This is Chapter 6 of Self-Promote and Succeed by Julie Broad. In this chapter, Julie reframes networking for authors who don’t love self-promotion, crowded rooms, or feeling “salesy,” and shows how relationship-building can work even if you consider yourself an introvert. You’ll learn: Why in-person connection still outperforms most online tactics How to prepare for networking so it feels purposeful, not awkward How speaking opportunities can accelerate visibility and book sales What “influencer” really means in the context of book marketing How to make the ask with confidence and the right mindset How to build and maintain a meaningful professional contact list This chapter helps you see networking as a skill you can practice, not a personality trait you’re born with. If you’ve avoided networking because it feels uncomfortable or forced, this chapter will help you approach it in a way that feels authentic and effective. 🎧 Listen to the full audiobook playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh6B5bRioc1xBijZsvgKUJYyuR8RKjylA 📚 Want support as you grow your visibility and relationships? • Join the free Book Launchers community: https://www.booklaunchers.com/skool • Learn more about Author Launch Kit: https://www.booklaunchers.com/alk
