Marketing #Unfiltered

In “Marketing #Unfiltered," you don’t just learn awesome stuff to help you figure out marketing, you get the BTS scoop of building a business — the hilarious, the traumatic, and the “omg thank god I’m not the only one.” Hi! ✋🏻 I’m Sophia Parra and I’m a social media strategist for coaches. For years I ran an agency where I helped multiple six figure and seven figure coaches create content and strategies that build their following and drive traffic to their offers. My guests and I swap biz horror stories AND share notes around the strategies that took things to the next level. I also show up solo twice a week to answer YOUR marketing questions. So if you’re craving a podcast that feels like the perfect mix of biz talk with a coach and a catch up with your friends; grab a margarita and pull up a chair. I’ve got painfully relatable stories to make you laugh (or cry 🤣), and strategies and perspectives that will help you show up consistently and effectively.

Ep 178 | Why every coach needs to write a book (and how to write it FAST, plus make it a best seller) with Ashley Mansour

June 24, 2025 • Sophia • Episode 178

Writing a book feels like a multi-year project that's impossible to fit into your busy entrepreneurial life—but what if you could go from idea to published bestseller in just 12 months?

That's why I was excited to welcome Ashley Mansour, author and book coach, to Marketing #Unfiltered to break down exactly how to write a book that doesn't just sit on shelves, but actually generates clients and revenue for your business.

We cover:

➡️ Why the biggest myth about book writing (that it takes years) is keeping you stuck The three essential questions every business book must answer before you start writing

➡️ Speed writing techniques that help you create content in hours instead of months

➡️ How to structure your book as a client conversion tool, not just a credibility piece

➡️ The difference between writing a book and leveraging a book (and why most authors miss this)

➡️ Why giving your book away for free can be your most profitable strategy

➡️ How to hit bestseller status on multiple lists (yes, it's more achievable than you think)

If you've been sitting on a book idea because it feels too overwhelming or time-consuming, this episode gives you the roadmap to make it happen without sacrificing your business or sanity.
