People are talking about Klout Matters

“How much clout do you have through your social media presence? Terry Brock and Gina Carr score big when it comes to showing you how to engage with customers in this fast-paced, ever-changing field. Use their proven principles to make your Klout Score rise to the top.”
~Harvey Mackay
New York Times #1 best-selling author of Swim with The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

“Everyone wants more impact, influence, branding, and recognition. On the Internet it’s known as Klout. For many, Klout scores have remained a mystery, UNTIL NOW. Terry Brock and Gina Carr have written the benchmark book, “Klout Matters,” and reveal the importance, the relevance, and the secrets behind this Internet imperative. As a Klout thought leader myself, I recommend that you buy this book, and implement the ideas and strategies, so that you go from Klout to significance.”
~Jeffrey Gitomer
New York Times Best Selling Author of The Little Red Book of Selling and 21.5 Unbreakable Laws of Selling

“I’ve had my doubts about systems that create “arbitrary” social media scores. What if someone has tremendous influence in the “offline” world yet isn’t that active on social sites? Well, the truth is we now live in an age of influence marketing and, in order for your business to really thrive, it’s critical to be strategically active on all the major social sites. In Klout Matters, Gina and Terry walk you through the exact steps needed to build a sizable platform, leverage key relationships, and create real influence for greater success. This book is a must read for anyone striving to become a respected thought leader.”

Get Ready for 2015 Holiday Selling and Shopping!

 

The AuthorU Board has decided to transition from the Jr. League Holiday selling format used a few yearsCO-County-Christmas-logo ago to the larger Colorado Country Christmas Mart that will roll out in early November this year.  This means you will have the possibility of exposing your book to 25,000 potential buyers who are there to buy … something.   Interested? Read on …

The location will be at the Denver Merchandise Mart on November 6-8. The first 50 AuthorU members will sign up for $50 for the first book … or until the Early Bird cutoff of September 15th. After that, rates increase to $75 for the first book and $20 for each additional book. As in the past, AuthorU will receive back 10 percent of all sales (all purchases will be handled by AuthorU with checks disbursed to participants before Thanksgiving).

Wait, wait … there’s more. Throughout the three days, there will be author signings in 90 minute blocks. The Mart has plenty of free parking … this is a great place to support the entire Colorado community AND do all your Holiday shopping at once. The AuthorU booth is huge — 10 x 25 — if people are heading for the restrooms, we are a few doors away. And we have a corner booth, so there’s great visibility for our Author Signings.

Heads up … this is for ALL AuthorU members, not just Colorado residents. You may not be here in Colorado for a book signing … but your fellow authors will be running the booth in a coop format; there will be a mini catalog with all titles in them to be handed out to all visitors; and we will have assigned members here who will be acting as though they are book sellers for others–that means you.

Don’t wait on this. Don’t become a Tardy Bird.

The AuthorU Booth will be directly to right one aisle and then straight back — it will be a major traffic area meaning we have ongoing traffic. Master designer Susie Scott will have her creative juices in play that will integrate the season flavor plus books, our central stage.  Philippa Burgess will coordinate efforts for this year’s event and looks forward to debuting her new book as well.

November 6: 10:00am – 9:00pm
November 7th: 9:00am – 8:00pm
November 8th: 10:00am – 5:00pm

Special pre-registration for the first 50 is $50. After that, Registration increases to $75 for AuthorU members.
