BONUS MODULE
Author Branding: The Foundation to Your Success
Your online presence is critical, especially when you're launching a book. Not just any website will do! You'll learn why branding is important and how to up level your website and social media to author status using a step-by-step Branding Assessment Checklist. You'll also know exactly what's necessary to implement the right website components that will engage your visitors.
Also included is the Done-for-you social media planning & implementation tool that will get you maximum exposure online.
What you'll learn that you didn't even know was possible or necessary.
In Module #1: Prep
I bet you didn’t realize you’d be stepping into an entrepreneurial role when you decided to write & publish a book. Yup! We’ll fill you in on how to embrace and navigate this role.
The publishing game is a long one and you want to be energized when your book launches. Incorporating simple self-care practices will help you avoid burnout and be ready to rock-n-roll on book launch day!
You will wind up with hundreds if not thousands of electronic files during this process. As A.A. Milne says, “Organization is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it’s not all mixed up.” Like Winnie the Pooh said, “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Be brave and establish a solid foundation by getting organized.
Have you ever gone on a roadtrip without a destination in mind? It can work, but if you start this publishing venture without some clear goals and a budget, you could wind up spending a lot more than you planned and the project could go on for longer than you had originally anticipated. We want to make sure you know where you’re going, how much you’ll spend, and how long it will take you to get there!
Publishing a book takes support. We want to make sure that you have the tools to delegate what someone else could do while you focus on the bigger picture plans for the book. This doesn’t mean employees – it means hiring a virtual assistant (VA). We’ll pilot you through each step of the way to find the right VA and show you why you don’t want to hire a friend’s kid to help!
In Module #2: Publish
Once you’ve determined your goals, budget & timeline in the Prep module, choosing your publishing model will be a breeze! This lesson walks you through the options, pros & cons.
If you choose a hybrid or traditional publishing model, you’ll need to have a book proposal. Stacey shares the winning book proposal that landed her a publishing deal with one of the Top 5 publishers.
Your book title is one you’ll have to live with forever, so you want to choose it carefully because it’s how your work will be known. Therefore, avoid the pitfalls of choosing a title that falls flat. You’ll learn the Top 5 ways to create a memorable title.
Obtaining endorsements from your trusted colleagues & associates is a great way to lend credibility for your work. In this lesson, you’ll learn the ABCs of gaining endorsements. We also provide the Done-for-you outreach templates.
Book Forewords are a personal & professional endorsement of your work. Elevate your non-fiction book by asking someone to write the Foreword. We give you the process that will result in a “Yes.”
In Module #3: Promote
We’ll show you how to optimize your contact list and use social media & email marketing strategy templates to promote your book and sell more!
Using our step-by-step guidance, you can easily use your book cover to generate buzz around the upcoming release of your book, as well as engage your followers support.
A book launch team will help you spread the word beyond your contact list. We’ll walk you through the how-tos of establishing a stellar book launch team, as well as a Done-for-you strategies for both social media and email marketing.
Engaging your followers on social media is a surefire way to get your book into the hands of readers. We provide you with a comprehensive social media strategy specifically for authors.
This easy to implement blog strategy requires NO more writing than you’ve already done! We’ll show you simple way to easily set up a blog without having to do any additional writing.
Everything you need to publish & promote your book…and much more!
