3.  Superfans: The Easy Way to Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, and Build a Successful Business by Pat Flynn

5.  Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Creating a Mass Movement of People Who Will Pay for Your Advice by Russell Brunson

This one was highly recommended by my Online Business Coach Alease Michelle Jones. Most people who put their products up for sale don’t understand that their expertise is the key to actually selling the product.  Your story, why you created this offer, and why you started your movement are what initially get people to convert and then continue to stay with you over time.
