<p>In this high-impact episode, former Amazon insider <strong>Janet Margot</strong> drops truth bombs about what really moves the needle on Amazon—and it’s not just tweaking your ad bids.</p><p>After a decade helping build the Amazon ads platform specifically for books, Janet has seen the game from the inside. Now she’s out in the wild, coaching authors to not just run ads, but to think strategically about their entire Amazon ecosystem.</p><p>💡 What You’ll Learn:</p><p>* Why <strong>most ad problems aren’t ad problems</strong>—they’re product problems.</p><p>* The <strong>biggest myths</strong> authors believe about Amazon ads.</p><p>* How to use <strong>your product page, book packaging, and strategy</strong> to create a flywheel that works even when ads aren’t.</p><p>* Why Janet calls herself an “Amazon coach” instead of an “ads coach” now—and what that shift means for your career.</p><p>* The <strong>missing piece</strong> from most advertising courses (including her first book!) and why her new second edition focuses more on <strong>strategy over tactics</strong>.</p><p>🛠️ Lee and Russell jump in with their own experiences—Russell brings his signature “burn-it-down-and-rebuild” mindset while Lee’s juggling spicy Batman novels and the grind of the long game.</p><p>This episode is a goldmine for indie authors who:</p><p>* Feel like their ads are “working” but sales still suck.</p><p>* Are ready to stop throwing money at Amazon and start building a <strong>sustainable system</strong>.</p><p>* Want to understand <strong>what Amazon rewards</strong> (hint: it's not just money).</p><p>If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the backend of your author business, or you’re tired of buying one more ads course that doesn’t deliver, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>Episode Summary: Live from New Orleans – Six Figure Author Experiment</p><p>In this episode, recorded live at a conference in New Orleans, hosts Monica Leonelle, Lee Savino, and Russell Nohelty reflect on a uniquely energizing experience. Unlike typical conferences that leave attendees drained, this event fostered connection, collaboration, and genuine breakthroughs.</p><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>1. Surprisingly Energizing Experience</p><p>• Despite two full days of activities, the hosts felt energized instead of exhausted.</p><p>• This is rare for conferences, especially when you’re also organizing or speaking.</p><p>2. Responsibility Was Shared—By Design</p><p>• The event was intentionally structured so attendees, not just organizers, contributed to each other’s success.</p><p>• This created a more collaborative atmosphere and lightened the burden on the “core team.”</p><p>3. Mastermind Format Delivered Results</p><p>• The small group and one-on-one conversations during the mastermind led to powerful breakthroughs.</p><p>• Attendees had space to talk, listen, and support one another—something often missing from big events.</p><p>4. Hybrid Structure = Best of Both Worlds</p><p>• The event included both a mastermind and a traditional conference portion.</p><p>• The mastermind was experimental but impactful; the conference followed a more familiar format with vendors and speaker tracks.</p><p>5. The People Made It Work</p><p>• The success was largely due to curating a room full of generous, driven, “cool” people.</p><p>• The team trusted that putting the right people together would lead to magic—and it did.</p><p>Final Thought</p><p>This episode is proof that author events can go beyond panels and presentations. With intentional design and the right community, they can create meaningful momentum and real change in an author’s career.</p><p>Let me know if you’d like this turned into show notes, a newsletter, or something visual!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>This episode features a presentation Russell gave in Lee’s Facebook group tht breaks down a crucial lesson for authors: success isn’t about picking the “best” platform, whether it’s Kickstarter, Substack, or direct sales, but about how they work together to amplify each other.</p><p>The focus isn’t on chasing the next big thing or worrying about industry collapse. It’s about simplifying, optimizing, and integrating existing strategies to create a <strong>sustainable sales ecosystem</strong>.</p><p>Key takeaways include:</p><p>* Why direct sales, crowdfunding, and memberships work better together.</p><p>* How to build a system where each platform strengthens the others.</p><p>* The importance of doing <strong>fewer things, better</strong>, instead of chasing silver bullets.</p><p>If you’re tired of constantly adapting to new trends, this talk offers a <strong>practical, no-nonsense approach</strong> to making a living as an author.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
