Interview With Author Rina Slusnyte
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve always wanted to help people.
At one point, I considered becoming a psychologist. But I’m a softie—I knew I’d take their struggles home with me.
I never imagined I’d become a marketer. Marketing called me.
Growing up in a tiny apartment with five family members, I learned the meaning of hard work early. While mowing weeds in endless fields, I dreamed of something better. I was determined to find answers. But along the way, I faced my own doubts. I often felt I wasn’t good enough, fearing failure and criticism.
In 2016, I launched my first business. It failed. My second attempt—a Dublin Guide—also failed. “I need digital marketing for my bleeding business,” I thought. So I enrolled in Dublin Business School, hungry for knowledge. I studied like crazy—day and night—wondering how I could sleep less and learn more.
“What separates those who WIN from those who LOSE in business?” was the million-dollar question for me. “Why do some businesses thrive while others barely get by or fail?” I got hooked.
What happened next changed my life forever.
In August 2018, Amanda, a widowed mother of three, approached me. She mistook my college Facebook project for a real business and asked for help. Despite my lack of experience, I agreed to help her for free. Five months later, Amanda was making $10,000 a month. When she offered to pay me, I refused. I still had doubts—maybe it was just luck. Within a year, she hit six figures. This time, I asked her to donate to a charity of her choice. Amanda chose a children’s hospital, funding equipment that changed lives.
That was the moment I realized marketing was my calling.
I saw the amount of misleading information online from so-called “gurus.” I knew I could help more people.
Although I still had doubts, fear, and anxiety, I decided to pack my knowledge and share it with the world.
Today, I help small business owners fast-track their profits with simplified marketing and sales. I believe everything can be simplified—and learning should never be boring.
Let’s be honest…
Most info products just sit there, untouched.
They look cute on the outside—but inside? Bloated. Boring. Overwhelming.
I build differently.
I create tools that click, stick, and sell. You don’t just learn—you feel it. You see your business growing. You hear the notifications. You watch your calendar fill with dream clients.
I have written 4 books:
1. Start Your Own Business the Right Way: 10 Common Mistakes That Kill Businesses and How to Avoid Them: The Shortcut for Anyone Who Wants to Build a Successful Brand Fast (+Workbook)
2. ChatGPT QuickStudy Guide: AI Uses and Prompts for Beginners and Pros in Prompt Engineering
3. Turn Generative AI into Profit: Done-For-You ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini Prompts & Formulas to Research, Analyze & Create Magnetic Content In Just One Click
4. Webinar. Sell more. Stress Less. Even if nobody knows You.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Turn Generative AI into Profit: Done-For-You ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini Prompts & Formulas to Research, Analyze & Create Magnetic Content In Just One Click
I kept hearing about AI. Everyone was using it. But me? Nope. It felt like cheating — like copying someone else’s homework and calling it genius.
Then I had a chat with myself (a dramatic one, obviously) and decided to give it a go.
At first? The output smelled robotic. Like a blender trying to write a blog post. But I kept going. I tested, tweaked, edited, and twisted. I built prompts and formulas that finally sang hallelujah.
I did it for myself. And then I realized… this stuff is damn good.
I even taught AI to write its own prompts — because who better to refine prompts than the machine itself?
Now I’m hooked. And this book? It’s the juicy result of that wild ride.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Oh, I’m definitely unique. I write at night — when the world sleeps, when my toddler finally surrenders to dreamland, and the house exhales into silence.
No buzzing phones, no dishes clinking, not even a whisper. Just me, my thoughts, and a keyboard that knows all my secrets.
It’s peaceful. Magical. Sometimes exhausting — especially if my toddler spent the day auditioning for a tornado role.
But that quiet? That’s when the best ideas sneak in. Creativity tiptoes out of hiding and starts dancing into reality.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There’s no single author or book that shaped me — but I’m obsessed with the classics.
I study the greats — Gary Halbert, Eugene Schwartz, Claude Hopkins, David Ogilvy, Dan Kennedy — the ones who built empires . Most of them are long gone, but their ideas still slap
What are you working on now?
There’s another book on the way… and let’s just say, it’s going to change how you look at business forever.
I’m diving deep into the dirty secrets of the top 1% — the stuff they hope you never figure out.
The title? Still under wraps. But trust me, when it drops, you’ll want front-row seats.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Let’s start with the truth bomb: your book has to be good. Like, actually good.
It needs to solve a real problem. Teach something. Inspire someone. Make them laugh, cry, or finally understand how to fix their problem.
The truth is
you can promote like crazy, but if the book’s a bad?
You may achieve short-term success, but not long-term sales success.
People won’t buy. Or worse — they’ll buy, regret it, and never come back.
So first: write the book that deserves a spotlight.
Then? Show it off where your readers hang out.
Here are some book promo sites that send your masterpiece straight into inboxes of hungry readers (a.k.a. your future fans):
BookBub ,BargainBooksy, BuckBooks
, eReaderIQ, FussyLibrarian, RobinReads, BookDealio, eReader News Today, Fussy Librarian, Book Gorilla,Booksends.
These sites have email lists full of readers in every niche — romance, thrillers, business, you name it. They can give your book a serious visibility boost. Like, hello new readers kind of boost.
But here’s the twist: Exposure ≠ guaranteed sales. You might get a flood of downloads… or a polite trickle. Like everything in life — it’s trial, error, and a little bit of magic.
Test. Tweak. Repeat. Because the more eyeballs on your book, the more chances it has to shine.
And remember: even the best book in the world can’t sell itself if it’s hiding in the shadows. So get loud. Get visible. And give your book the spotlight it deserves.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Best way to promote your book? Simple: talk about it every chance you get.
Seriously. If you’re not proud of your book, why should anyone else be?
Excitement is contagious. If you light up when you talk about it, people lean in.
If you hide it like a secret… well, selling will be hard.
Your book solves a problem, right?
Romance, comedy, thriller — it pulls readers out of the boredroom.
Business books?
They teach, guide, and grow empires. A book is a gift. So gift it loud.
Now, let’s talk Amazon Ads — the holy grail.
Why?
Because people go to Amazon ready to buy. Their wallets are basically waving at you.
So here’s the magic formula:
1. Make a scroll-stopping cover
2. Write a juicy description (what’s in it for them?)
3. Collect a few reviews (social proof = trust)
4. Run the ads
VOILA. You’re not just promoting. You’re profiting.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“If you’re not excited about your work, no one else will be.”
It sounds simple, but it changed everything for me. Whether you’re writing, selling, or teaching — your energy sets the tone.
If you light up when you talk about your book, people lean in.
If you hide it, they’ll scroll past.
So now I show up proud and loud. Because passion sells.
And contagious excitement?
That’s marketing magic.
What are you reading now?
I’m always watching what’s coming, what’s working, and what’s quietly blowing up while everyone’s distracted. News, trends, launches, shifts — I treat it like detective work for entrepreneurs.
What’s next for you as a writer?
There’s another book on the way…
It’s going to reveal the dirty secrets of the top 1% — the stuff they hope you never figure out.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
If I were stranded on a deserted island, I’d bring three essentials:
A survival book — because coconuts are cute, but I’d rather not wrestle a crab for dinner.
A mental health guide — let’s be honest, talking to palm trees gets weird fast.
A notebook — to document my descent into island madness… and maybe draft my next bestseller: “Marketing in the Wild: How to Sell Sand to Seagulls.”
Because even on a deserted island, I’d still be writing, learning, and probably trying to build a brand out of driftwood.
