~Harvey Mackay

“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

“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 the AuthorU Extravaganza’s Hot Event …
SOLD OUT as of June 19, 2015
for the September 15, 2016 date
Contact Info@AuthorU.org and ask to be placed on Waiting List–there is a possibility on one more spot opening up.
There are FOUR HOT sessions will be available at the 2016 Extravaganza September 15-17, 2016 … only ONE Attendee can get his or her toe in the Author Shark Tank at a time. Our panel will listen for a few minutes to your pitch (hear/read that: LISTEN) and then decide IF and HOW they will help the author in the book and publishing quest. The Author Shark Tank will be held late Thursday afternoon, September 15th.
The Author Sharks like passion, persistence and excellence. They will proved incentives to writers and authors who demonstrate it in publishing and authoring through a variety of awards that pertain to their own expertise and product line.
What’s the value to you? It could be money; it could be time; it could be a product – as in the Author Shark has a product that he or she sells all day for $897 and it’s yours, free; it could be the joint venture creation of a product that features the author and his or her book—that is blasted to mega thousands to buy; it could be printing reduction; it could be a book cover; it could be a discount on a layout; it could be … What it could be will be solely dependent on YOU and YOUR PITCH to hook them and could be worth many thousands of dollars. Or if you bomb, you may only end up with a shark tooth! To enter the tank, there’s a fee.
Last year, participants came away with many thousands of dollars.
Author Shark Tank participants are identified on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will get pre-conference coaching from Judith Briles prior to entering the Tank.

I’m ready to start swimming … add me in!
