In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares a behind-the-scenes look at how she turned a childhood creative passion into a successful children's book business. In this special interview episode, she talks about where Doppy came from, how becoming a mom inspired her to revisit her dream of becoming a children's book author and illustrator, and what it took to turn that dream into a full-time career.  Harleigh also gets into the parts of self-publishing that go far beyond writing and illustrating, from learning digital illustration and refining her books through multiple drafts to marketing, selling at in-person events, running a publishing business, and learning the business side of being an independent author.

In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares five ways to successfully market your Amazon KDP children's book as an introvert, without constantly showing your face, posting on social media every day, making phone calls, or putting yourself into situations that feel completely outside of your comfort zone.  From optimizing your Amazon listing so your book can be discovered organically to building a website and email list that you actually own, Harleigh breaks down marketing strategies that can continue working behind the scenes. She also shares how reaching out to children's book influencers, read-aloud YouTube channels, bookstores, libraries, schools, and other local organizations can get your book in front of new audiences, even if you'd much rather send an email than pitch yourself in person.    You don't have to become an extrovert to successfully market your children's book. You can do these strategies from home and use them to consistently get your books in front of more potential readers.

In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares how she made $300 in children's book sales in just three hours at a local farmers market, without running ads, hard-selling, or needing a massive crowd. She breaks down what made this particular event so successful and why in-person selling has become such an important part of her children's book business.  Harleigh walks through the three things she believes made the biggest difference: creating a simple, branded table setup that doesn't overwhelm shoppers, developing a natural sales pitch that tells the story behind your books, and using small freebies like character stickers to start conversations with families. She also explains why choosing the right event matters just as much as what you do once you're there.   More than anything, this episode shows why getting your books in front of people in real life can create opportunities that go far beyond a single sale, from connecting directly with readers to school visits, wholesale opportunities, and other local connections that can help grow your author business.

In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares one of her favorite Amazon KDP launch strategies: giving away the eBook version of your children's book for FREE. It might sound counterproductive when your goal is to sell more books, but a strategically planned free eBook promotion can help you generate hundreds of downloads, increase your Amazon visibility, gain reviews, generate Kindle Unlimited page reads, and introduce new readers to the rest of your books.

In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares the exact step-by-step strategy she would use to rebuild her children's book author platform from zero in 2026. If she lost her entire audience tomorrow—including her social media followers, email list, and online communities—this is the marketing system she would use to start over without relying on paid ads or trying to post everywhere at once. Harleigh breaks down how to pair one nurture platform with one growth platform, build an email list you actually own, create a sustainable content schedule, consistently drive traffic to your Amazon books, and turn these individual strategies into a repeatable weekly marketing system. The goal isn't to do more marketing. It's to create a system you can realistically stick with long enough to see results!

In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares one of the biggest shifts that transformed her own children's book business: choosing evergreen book topics that readers search for year after year. Many self-published authors write a story they love and hope readers will find it. While that can work at in-person events, Amazon is a search engine, and books built around evergreen topics, holidays, and seasonal themes often have a much better chance of being discovered. In this episode, Harleigh explains how she applied this strategy to her own bestselling books, why recurring search traffic matters, and how you can build a catalog of children's books that generates consistent sales throughout the year.  What You’ll Learn  Why evergreen book topics often outperform random story ideas on Amazon KDP How Amazon search traffic influences children's book sales  The difference between writing a cute story and creating a marketable book topic How holidays and seasonal themes can generate recurring book sales every yearWatch the Original YouTube Video If you prefer a visual walkthrough, you can watch the original video here:https://youtu.be/EqEsIXV86Rs?si=uLPo7L5no5JThajU Get Publisher Rocket:https://publisherrocket.cartknox.com/buy-rocket?aff=471 Work With Me + Resources Book a 1:1 Coaching Call with Me:[60 Minute Zoom Call][40 Minute Zoom Call]Join My Signature Membership Program to Publish, Launch, and SCALE Your Children's Book Publishing Business: Author Growth RoadmapGet Free Traffic + Book Sales:Free Traffic Formula Mini Course Free Resources for Children's Book Authors Children's Book Marketing GuideInstagram Content PlannerBook Launch Team Checklist + Email TemplatesFree Publish a Children's Book on Amazon KDP CourseFree Children's Book Formatting Course Connect If you found this episode helpful, consider following the podcast, leaving a review, and sharing it with another children’s book author!
