Sometimes called low content, my guest for this all-new webinar workshop calls it tiny content. I like that!
Whatever it is—it’s all about doing just a small amount of work to generate on-going profits in your author and publishing business.
Get ready to learn:
- what low content products are and where you can pull content from.
- how they are so simple to create and put up for sale and get traffic.
- and how they can be very lucrative for virtually anyone. ANYONE!

Know your Author and Book Publishing Rights
Knowing your rights and when to call an attorney is important as an author, publisher, vendor, and as a person.
Many times, authors:
- Don’t understand how to read a contract and negotiate the details;
- Don’t know how to use their own or others’ materials—i.e., pictures, diaries, etc.
- Don’t understand the use copyrights or trademarks in their books, blog posts, and social media postings.
Copyright laws have recently changed recently … it’s TIME to update what you know; what you thought you know; and what you need to know.
Saturday, April 3, 2021 will provide a practical approach that can save you a lot of money, time, and aggravation.
Julie Bernard … is the CEO of Bernard IP Law. She is a registered patent and intellectual property attorney who brings twenty-five years of experience to the table.

Part I
Successful Authors Get Their Brag On …
It’s TIME for you to get yours on, too!
- Do you want to sell more books?
- Do you want to schedule more presentations?
- Do you want your book to inspire others?
It’s time to brag … right now! Holidays are here and your book will make a great gift! But readers and buyers cannot find you because they’ve never heard of you! You fear bragging!
“Invisibility leads to stagnation. Embracing the brag keeps you visible.” -Judith Briles
You say you don’t like to brag. The truth is you fear bragging because at a very young age you were taught bragging is egotistical. It’s time to get over it! It’s up to you to sell your books!
“If you can’t sell yourself, you can’t sell your book and receive well-deserved notoriety!”
The good news is, bragging isn’t hard, but it takes courage and the knowledge of how to do it right.
Remember, readers enjoy buying books written by authors they know and trust. Now’s the time to get your brag on!
In this session, you will learn the five amazing steps on how to brag in a business-savvy manner.
- Create brag factors that make a positive difference
- Develop the confidence to brag
- Use your brag statements to sell more books and book more presentations
Your Presenter Jeannette Seibly, is the author of eight books, including It’s Time to Brag! Business Edition and The Secret to Selling Yourself Anytime, Anywhere: Start Bragging! As the Leadership Results Coach for the past 29 years, she’s guided the creation of three millionaires and countless 6-figure income professionals. Her brags include being an award-winning executive coach, management consultant, and keynote speaker. If you’re struggling to sell your books and gain well-deserved notoriety, register today for this workshop. Your readers and bank account will thank you!
Part II
It’s time to figure out what the new crypto world is all about. It will affect your book at some time.
Register: https://authoru.org/events.html
If you’re brand new to cryptocurrencies, this is the primer training for you. Cryptocurrencies are here … it makes sense to learn about them and determine if your toe should be in the water. This is not a pitch to invest … this is a portal to understand what the buzz is about and how it could affect you in a world that is just starting to get regulated.
When it comes to author and publisher finances … It’s a whole new world and in this presentation, you get up to speed fast and figure out if the buzz is worth your attention.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this ONLINE workshop …
- What is the blockchain and why authors and publishers should care
- What are non-fungible tokens (NFT’s)
- How authors and publishers can create passive income with their books with NFTs
Plus, much, much more.
Your Presenter
Daniel Hall will be here, in person, to walk you through the maze of cryptoland. He is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, speaker, publisher, nurse, attorney and host of the RealFastResults.com podcast. Daniel is also the creator of the highly popular Real Fast brand of training products. He left law practice 10 years ago to build his publishing business and has never looked back.
