Teddy Smith
I’m the host of The Publishing Performance Show. Every week, I sit down with industry experts and successful authors to uncover real-world strategies for book marketing, Amazon advertising, self-publishing, and more.
Beyond the podcast, I’m a book consultant specializing in Amazon PPC and book marketing, helping authors increase their visibility, boost sales, and turn their books into long-term revenue streams. My journey into publishing started as a way to grow my eCommerce brand—I launched a blog and self-published a book to drive traffic to my ecommerce site. That book took off, and I’ve since written several more books and become obsessed with the publishing industry in the process.
I also write for industry publications like The Ecomm Manager and speak at major conferences, including Bestselling Author Summit, the Low Content Summit, Freedom Navigator Summit, and Writers MBA, sharing insights on self-publishing, book marketing, and eCommerce.
Previously, I successfully built and exited my own photo booth business. Now, I work remotely, partnering with authors and publishing professionals to help them grow their businesses.
If you’re looking to sell more books, reach more readers, and build a sustainable author career, let’s connect.
