Behind the Scenes of Bestselling Books: Expertise from Michael Drew, Leading Book Marketer | Before the Bestseller 80


Today’s guest is Michael Drew, and I’ve invited him not only because he’s an author, but rather due to his extensive work with some of the most renowned authors in the industry. He has collaborated with well-known authors such as John Spoelstra, who has previously appeared on this show, T. Harve Eker, the author of ‘Secrets of a Millionaire Mind,’ and Marshall Goldsmith—authors who have sold millions and millions of copies of their books. The list continues with notable individuals like Roy Williams and authors that many of our listeners are familiar with. These authors, including Dr. Goldsmith and T. Harve, have achieved remarkable book sales, and Michael played a significant role in their successful promotion.

Michael is also recognized for his ability to assist authors in securing coveted spots on prestigious lists such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. He simultaneously enhances the authors’ businesses through essential marketing activities required for a book to attain such distinctions which is indeed intriguing, and our interview delves deeply into it. This is Michael’s first time on the show and much of our focus will be primarily on the theory of book marketing.

Back when I initially entered this domain, a conversation like the one we’re about to have would have been a game-changer for many up-and-coming authors. My goal for you and our conversation is just to be able to absorb as much as you can about the inner workings of the publishing industry and the true factors that keep a book successful over the long haul with our expert, Michael Drew.

Reader, We fear what we do not know. And for those of us with OCD (the uncertainty disease), the fear is more like terror 🙂 No one knows the future… but here’s my attempt at simply explaining a few of the potential paths we take from here based on the “AI camp” you’re in. Knowledge = power, and those who understand the paths from here (and are willing to change) will have a much higher chance of thriving in this new “scary” AI world. Again, I’m a bogan (look it up) from a sugar-cane farm…
