Episode Details

In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, you’ll learn the four biggest lessons Harleigh has learned after four years of self-publishing children’s books and turning this into a full-time business.

She shares the real, behind-the-scenes truths that most people don’t talk about, from why long-term organic marketing matters more than quick wins, to how to handle disappointment, stay consistent, and keep showing up even when it feels like nothing is working. This episode is a mix of strategy and mindset shifts that will help you build a sustainable children’s book business over time.

Whether you're just getting started or already on your journey, this episode will help you refocus, stay motivated, and keep moving forward.

What You’ll Learn:

•  Why focusing on long-term, organic marketing (instead of ads) can help you build a sustainable children’s book business 
•  How free resources like printables and email lists can drive long-term traffic and growth 
•  The reality of disappointment in self-publishing and how to keep going anyway 
•  Why consistency matters more than “going viral” when growing your audience 
•  How repetition in your content actually strengthens your marketing (even if you feel like a broken record) 
•  Why you’re not too late to publish your book, start your platform, or grow your audience
