Last week marked a huge milestone for me as the co-host and organizer of the inaugural Groundswell Media Day, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it all came together! With over 100 attendees, the energy and enthusiasm throughout the day were incredible. From branding workshops with Keith Nugent, AI safety with Christopher Muse, bookbinding with yours truly, and live podcasts as part of our new 9:59 Irwin Podcast series. This was my first time organizing an event of this scale in the U.S., and it truly wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Groundswell Startups community. I am immensely grateful for the guidance and collaboration from our co-hosts Peter Lopez - Book Publisher - Ghostwriting - Bestseller - Audiobooks - Media, Jonathyn Lopez - Book Publisher and Mimie Auxila from Publify Press and our entire team! A special thanks to our sponsors for making this event a reality: Steppingblocks (Carlo Martinez) Space Coast Technology, Inc. (Mike Anderson) Codecraft Works (Shannon Landin) The Kick It Group (Andy Quintana, Scott Gobee and Josh Mellor) HR Office Savers, Inc. (Alan Bernstein, SHRM-SCP and Jennifer Dickson) Ryan Bailey, our Innovation Director, summed it up perfectly when he said, "It was nonstop with events, networking, and entertainment." From virtual soccer competitions with The Kick It Group to engaging workshops and podcasts, it was truly a day to remember. I’ve learned so much from this experience, and I'm already excited for next year’s Media Day! Huge thanks again to everyone who attended and supported!

Check out this insightful organic conversation I had with my video director and business partner on what defines failure and success in baseball and in life. A great hitter in baseball with a 300 average is considered for the Hall of Fame despite failing 7 out of 10 times. Yet, outside the ballpark, failing 7 out of 10 times can label someone as a failure. Food for thought! ?? ?? #baseball #success #failure Mimie Auxila Boannski ?? ??Jonathyn Lopez - Book Publisher Publify Press

?? Why Book Pre-Sales Are Important! ?? In book publishing, pre-sales aren't just a formality – they're a strategic cornerstone for achieving success. Let's break down why pre-sales matter: 1. Building Anticipation: Pre-sales generate excitement and anticipation among readers even before the book hits the shelves. According to industry data, books with strong pre-sales often see increased media coverage and reader engagement upon release. 2. Securing Early Revenue: Pre-sales provide an early revenue stream for authors and publishers, helping to offset production costs and gauge market interest before the official launch. Research indicates that books with substantial pre-sales are more likely to achieve profitability faster. 3. Boosting Visibility: High pre-sales numbers can signal to booksellers, distributors, and literary influencers that the book has significant demand. This can lead to prominent store placement, increased marketing support, and broader exposure to potential readers. 4. Validating Market Appeal: Pre-sales are a litmus test for the book's appeal and market potential. By tracking pre-order metrics, publishers can fine-tune marketing strategies, adjust print runs, and identify target audiences more precisely. 5. Fueling Bestseller Campaigns: Pre-sales contribute to the crucial first-week sales figures determining a book's eligibility for bestseller lists. Industry studies have shown that books with robust pre-orders are likelier to debut on bestseller lists and sustain momentum over time. 6. Engaging with Fans: Pre-sales offer authors a unique opportunity to engage directly with their fan base, rewarding early supporters with exclusive incentives like signed copies, bonus content, or limited-edition merchandise. This fosters a sense of community and loyalty around the book. #BookPublishing #PreSales #LiterarySuccess #publifypress
