🔖 Episode Summary:
You’ve heard the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover”—but let’s be real, we do. And before we even get to the cover, we judge books by their titles. A title is more than just words—it’s a marketing tool, a positioning statement, and the first step in a lead generation funnel. If you’re an entrepreneur, consultant, or service business owner looking to use a book as a business asset, this episode is for you.

In today’s deep dive, I break down:
✅ How to filter a title for clarity, impact, and shareability.
✅ The biggest mistakes authors make when naming their books.
✅ What Amazon’s category system can teach you about titling.
✅ How to create a title that sticks in your audience’s brain and sells your expertise.

Using real-world examples from bestselling books (Profit First, Traffic Secrets, The Truth About Thyroid), we explore why some titles work and others flop. Plus, I’ll show you a simple mental exercise to test whether your title is too clever for its own good.
