Podcasting about book promotion and marketing with writers

Posted on May 11, 2022 by Christopher Tallon

So, I’m a writer with a podcast…you’re a writer with a podcast…

As you may or may not know (or care…), I host the podcast Creative Ops. It’s a podcast for creative people. Business, movies and tv, podcasters, writers, comedians, artists, and more come on and talk about how their found their groove and what their creative process looks like.

Anywho, I had Jody Sperling on recently. He’s a writer and hosts a podcast called Cre8 Collabor8, which is for writers who either like and/or have to be their own marketers. He gets into social media strategy, writing process, and where/how to promote yourself.

Ep.65 | Jody Sperling – Writer & Host of (The Reluctant Book Marketer) – Creative Ops

Jody Sperling was successfully playing the real estate game when he decided to sell his properties one by one and commit to writing and podcasting. Crazy, right? Crazy like a FOX! Jody's podcast, THE RELUCTANT BOOK MARKETER, gives authors, new and experienced, tools to better market their books (thereby doing better business and growing their audience). Get a peek at some of Jody's writing that appeared in BULL called "Valesco". Find Jody on Twitter: @jodyjsperling . . . Thanks for listening! For more info on Creative Ops, OR if you're interested in my novel Switchers, check out all the links and info at http://www.christophertallon.com.

But the podcasting excitement doesn’t stop there…

We were on each other’s podcasts!

I was fortunate enough to be a guest on his podcast after he was on mine.

(Well, technically he interviewed me first, but I beat him to the drop. Mwah-ha-ha!)

Listen as he gets confounded by my lack of knowledge and strange ideas about selling my book in pot shops. And yes, by pot I mean the devil’s lettuce, not a home for a plant.

Do I have no f**king clue what I’m doing, or will he see the method behind my madness?
