August’s webinar is all about solving common problems that authors face when publishing and selling books. It’s about getting MORE people to buy your book.

One of the problems that authors face is lack of sales. 

That’s a big one, right? Get ready to receive more sales and easy ways and systems to do that. Yes, you do need REVIEWS –and that will be covered … but there is so much more …

The big 7 common problems are identified and of course, sharing a solution for you right in the training.

Common Problems for lack of sales include: 

• Not having an audience
• Not having an automated system to work for you to get reviews and fans
• Not having a way to effectively communicate with your fans
• Easily connecting with POTENTIAL followers…
• and a whole lot more

Yikes, the sad part is that you can have everything RIGHT like: 

• The perfect title
• The perfect cover
• The perfect editing
• Even the perfect ending …

But if you lack certain components in your book listing, you could have worked your butt off for nothing. Oh ugh … 

Let’s remove that “ugh” feeling … get registered NOW: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5900115043128830477
