In this thought-provoking episode of Amazing Authorities, host Mitch Carson speaks with Thomas Freiling — publisher, author coach, and media strategist with over 30 years in the book industry. Thomas has helped CEOs, military leaders, recovery advocates, pastors, doctors, and entrepreneurs turn their experiences into influential books that build credibility, open doors, and leave a lasting legacy.
Rather than chasing short-lived bestseller spikes, Thomas champions the long-tail approach — selling 100 books a month for 10 years is far more valuable than making a list for a week. He teaches authors how to build sustainable visibility, authority, and opportunities far beyond royalties.
Thomas also breaks down the crucial role of Amazon reviews, how to authentically generate them, and why 25–40 reviews can transform a book from invisible to high-converting proof of expertise. But more importantly — he believes writing a book is one of the most powerful ways to preserve your story, your voice, and your impact for generations.
