It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint (Part 2): Small Steps, Real Strategy

Posted in

Ever feel like you’re doing “all the things” in your book marketing … but burning out before you see results?

In Part 2 of our Marathon, Not a Sprint series, Shelly Brown, Carol Tetzlaff, and Sara Cormany get practical about what small, sustainable strategies actually look like for authors. If you’ve been waiting for the “how-to” behind last week’s mindset shifts, this is your episode.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this conversation:

  1. The Power of Small Steps— Why less really is more, and how one simple post, one email, or one conversation at a time can build lasting momentum.
  2. Strategy That Won’t Burn You Out— Real-life examples of how to repurpose content, create a rhythm, and engage with readers without overwhelm.
  3. The Holy Ground of Showing Up— How every faithful act of obedience—whether a post, a podcast pitch, or a quiet devotional, is ministry, not just marketing.

Think of this as your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and still make an eternal impact with your words.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • “Am I doing enough?”
  • “Does this even matter?”
  • “How do I keep going without losing steam?”

…this conversation will remind you that your message matters, and showing up faithfully is never wasted.

Catch Part 1 first if you haven’t already! Together, these episodes will give you both the mindset and the strategy to run your author journey like a marathon—steady, faithful, and fruitful.
