Collaboration books are everywhere right now – but are they worth your investment of time, money, and energy?
In this episode of The Read Magnet Podcast, I’m joined by Dawni Beth Baxter — bestselling author, founder of Certified Social Media Manager, and digital marketing agency owner — to unpack what makes a collaboration book truly valuable as a business owner… and when it isn’t.
Dawni shares the strategy behind her Amazon bestselling collaboration book, The Unshakeable Entrepreneur — from identifying a real market need to handpicking contributors and marketing the book with integrity.
Whether you’ve been invited to contribute to a collaboration book or you’re wondering if hosting one could help boost your authority, this conversation will help you go in with a clear idea of what you want – and what you’re going to get from taking part in this kind of project.
🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Dawni uses data (not trends or inspiration) to shape her book idea
- How she chose the right contributors (and why she didn’t open it to everyone)
- The important difference between strategic collaboration books and “pay to play” projects
- What contributors should ask before saying yes to a collaboration book
AND ALSO:
- Practical book marketing lessons from a bestselling digital marketer
- How to leverage a book for visibility and authority beyond the launch
- The truth about Amazon Bestseller strategies (and why integrity matters)
