May 6th: Improve Your “Author” Visibility
May 6 @ 8:15 am – 12:00 pm

This month we will focus on showcasing you!

  • Are you ready to sell more books?
  • Do you know how to create a brand that shows off your best side, on and off camera?
  • Are you aware of how to consistently influence, market and pitch yourself to get noticed?
  • Are you ready when a publicist or event planner calls for a TV or radio spot?

All of you know that walking your talk is an integral part of personal and professional branding. As an author, you need to look and sound your best. When you pitch your books, you’re pitching yourself! When you get that long awaited call, you want to be ready. Too often when you get the call, you focus on scripting what you’ll say and forget to plan on how to look. Remember, over 80% of what people hear is what they see!

This morning will provide a practical approach that can save you, both men and women, from wishing for a do-over! Today’s speakers will help us look our best in person and sound our best on paper! They will share their secrets of how to become successful. When you leave, you will be ready to fine-tune your brand and ready to win the pitch.

Success is knocking! Are you ready to sell more books?

WebinarGold: Would you like to find Amazon Reviewers lightning fast?
Jul 13 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

There are plenty of programs out there that tease authors with the ongoing lure of getting reviewers to line up and salivate to review your book. They promise to get the attention of the Amazon gods to further push your book in some of the behind the scenes promotions Amazon does.

 

 

 

Do reviews count? Yes, they do. Steve Snyder, author of Shot Down-The True Story of Captain Howard Snyder and the Crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth, had three separate email pushes to Amazon buyers that he didn’t pay a dime for. Yet, one morning, in my email stream was an email from Amazon recommending his book to me with the cover and a buy link. 

Amazon started “pushing” the book out before he had 100 reviews. As an author, Amazon reviews do count. You want them. Steve Snyder now has over 380 excellent reviews on Amazon and increased book sales. Yes, you want both as well.

In this free webinar on how to find Amazon Reviewers really fast, your take-aways include:

●       The number one problem authors try to get away with (but they don’t)

●       The circle of book sales (the cycle that sells books)

●       The new/old way to sell books (how many people you need to read your book)

●       The one step you shouldn’t skip that can make your book go from good to great

●       A solution to help you get more book sales

Do you want Reviewers for your Book really fast? Join in on the free webinar on Thursday, July 13th at 6 pm ET, 5 pm CT, 4 pm MT, 3 pm PT
