Описание: Episode Title:
The Smart Publishing Impact Series - Episode 40: Book Pricing Strategies

Episode Summary:
Pricing your book isn’t just about picking a number—it’s about strategy. In this milestone 40th episode, Renée Lautermilch breaks down how to price your book in a way that builds momentum, drives sales, and matches your goals as an author. Whether you’re about to launch or already published, this episode will help you understand what really goes into a strong pricing strategy—from release-day promotions to ongoing adjustments that keep your book visible.

You’ll learn how to approach Kindle, paperback, and hardcover pricing, what “pricing signals” tell readers about your book’s quality, and how to adapt your prices for different genres, events, and markets. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re charging too little—or too much—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need.

What You’ll Hear:
• Why your pricing strategy should never be “set it and forget it”
• How to build a launch-day pricing plan that maximizes visibility
• The real difference between fiction, memoir, and business genre pricing
• What “pricing signals” say about your book’s quality and positioning
• Smart pricing tips for high-clout or industry-specific titles

Quote to Remember:
“Pricing your book isn’t about profit—it’s about positioning. Get your book in front of people first, and the opportunities will follow.”
