BTB144: Brendan Kane on Giving Away 100,000 Books, Smarter Funnels, and Launching on His Terms

Before the Bestseller


It’s our pleasure to welcome back Brendan Kane, bestselling author of 1 Million FollowersHook Point, and now The Guide to Going Viral. Brendan has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment and business, including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Katie Couric, MTV, Paramount, and IKEA. But his strategies aren’t just for celebrities or major companies. He’s also helped everyday creators, entrepreneurs, and authors grow real audiences from the ground up, including those starting with no social media presence at all. Brendan is back with us again for a breakdown of the strategy behind his newest book and what it really takes to build lasting influence.

In this episode, Brendan takes us behind the scenes of his latest book launch, offering a masterclass in unconventional strategies for lasting impact. He discusses why he chose a self-publishing route, the value of giving away over 100,000 copies to build trust and readership, and the lessons he’s learned from experimenting with pricing and marketing funnels. Beyond the tactics, Brendan dives into the mindset of a creator who’s constantly evolving, sharing the challenges, failures, and pivot points that come with a viral strategy. He’s not just changing how books are marketed; he’s quietly rewriting the playbook.
