Readers Respond to Connection
Posted in Marketing with Meaning
By now, you’ve started to:
Clarify your message.
Understand your reader.
Speak to where they are.
And this naturally leads to the next step.
Connection.
Because here’s what we’ve seen over and over again: Readers don’t respond to pressure. They respond to connection.
This Week’s Author Growth Tip: Share one message without mentioning your book at all.
What to Do This Week
Keep this simple.
Write a short post or email that:
-
Speaks to your reader’s current season
-
Offers encouragement or truth
-
Leaves your reader feeling seen
Example: If you’re in a season where you feel stretched thin—trying to take care of everyone else while quietly running on empty…
I just want to remind you that God sees you. He’s not asking you to carry it all on your own. Even in the middle of the pressure, His presence is steady, and His strength is available to you right here.
No mention of your book. Just connection.
Why This Matters
When connection comes first…
Your book becomes a natural next step, not a forced one.
One Small Step
You don’t need to sell this week. You just need to show up.
Just one simple step. Done faithfully, it makes a difference.
Hit reply and tell us, was this easier or harder than you expected?
Cheering you on,
Shelly, Athena & Carol
P.S. If this approach feels simpler—and maybe even a little freeing—that’s exactly the point.
