Are You Ready to Publish Yourself? Do you know where to start? What to do? Where to get the resources? This mp3 will help! You will learn the secrets of a PR Pro!
Books are business. People pay money for books and when money is exchanged, there are expectations. People buy what they are motivated to buy – not necessarily what is “best” for them but what they desire. Advertising, marketing, publicity create desire. Here's how to do it - on a budget.
But first be real, ask yourself these questions:
1. You have at least $2,500 to $5,000 to invest in the project.
2. Your topic is a topic that is very “marketable” in a book.
3. You regularly support other author events, i.e. book signings and lectures.
4. You frequently visit bookstores and know what the trends are in Christian books and know the bestsellers.
5. You have a website or plan to get one to sell/market your book.
6. You’ve published articles or regularly speak/lecture thereby you have an “audience” for your book.
7. You research and read books/magazines on publishing or go to writer’s conferences or are part of a writer’s group.
8. You know a good graphic designer, editor and webmaster – or at least know where to find one.
9. You have a written marketing plan and know how you’re going to seel your book– before you’ve written it.
10. You have at least 10 hours a week to promote your book.
11. You are part a writer’s discussion group online, blog regularly and do social networking often.
If you answered "NO" to 5 or more of these questions, this CD is for you!
