How You Can “Create a Thunder” to Sell Your Book
After spending a year working on my book, I proudly held the physical proof in my hand. As I began planning the official book launch, I was introduced to a cool online marketing tool that helped me achieve a broader reach – broader than I could have ever imagined.
This cost-effective marketing tool helps you “create a thunder” as your announcement travels across social networks. It resulted in my book having a social reach of more than 1.4 million viewers and ranking in Amazon’s Top 10.
The good news? You can do this too when launching your book!
- Create a buzz around your book before it launches.
- Amplify your message across social media.
- Build your social reach without asking your network to dip into their wallets.
- Launch a thunderous online campaign in 3 simple steps.
- Design an attention-grabbing graphics even if you’re not an artist.

A step-by-step workshop on how to publish your book
Saturday, March 7, 2020
… It’s an Author and Writer Full Day Extravaganza
Did you know that over 80% of the public thinks there is a book in them? Are you part of the 80%? Want to learn what your options are in getting yours from your head; from all those loose notes that have piled up over the years; want to add “published author” behind your name this year?
It’s LEAP YEAR … are you ready to:
• jump into your publishing dreams and turn them into a reality?
• think about creating a new book or repurposing an old one?
• do a refresher on what’s happening in publishing today?
• Or, do you need to just mingle with other writers and authors and make 2020 the year that makes the difference for you?
Part of AuthorYOU’s mission is to educate emerging authors on how to write, publish and market their books. AuthorYOU is for the author who wants to be seriously successful.
Today’s publishing is a journey loaded with twists, turns, and potholes. AuthorYOU will show you how to avoid the labyrinth of publishing predators. We don’t want you to add “ripped-off” to your resume.
How to publish (self, indie, traditional) a book from start to finish.
What to expect when you are expecting—the dollars, cents, and sense of publishing is today.
How to avoid the publishing predators of the self-publishing world.
Essential information about editing your book.
How to create a hero, not a zero, when it comes to book cover design.
The importance of publishing printed books, digital books, and audiobooks.
How to propel yourself and rise above the publishing marketplace with social media and metadata.
Tips on avoiding the mistakes most authors make.
The ABCs of Audiobooks and eBooks.
Lists of vetted resources to use in your publishing quest.
Timelines for the spectrum of publishing.
Write and publish a book that grabs your reader.
And a special segment on how to set up your Author Business (This is a makeup session due to the snow storm on February’s Monthly Meeting)
You can, and it’s happening on the first Saturday in March. Lunch and workbook are included. Get registered to grab your seat. Space is limited.
