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.”

If you want to sell books, you need publicity. If you want the maximum publicity possible, you need a Media Kit for your fiction or nonfiction book.

Seven important audiences, including journalists, will expect one. And if you don’t have one, hope you never get a phone call from a journalist who hears about your book, wants to interview you and asks, “Can you send me your media kit?’

Publicity expert Joan Stewart, aka The Publicity Hound and a former newspaper editor, will explain the 10 essential elements in every media kit, when she’s my guest during a special 90-minute webinar at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 8. This is for authors who have written fiction or nonfiction, and for those who haven’t started their books yet.

You will learn:

  • How to use a media kit and how not to use it.
  • The seven important audiences for your media kit, and what they expect to see in it.
  • The correct format for writing a press release for a fiction book and one for nonfiction.
  • Why you should have more than one bio, and the exact word count of each one.
  • Tips for using photos in your kit to make the media’s job easy.
  • How to shave weeks off the tedious chore of creating a media kit from scratch.

As a special bonus, Joan will give away three 15-minute consultations, but you must join us on the call to be eligible.
