Book marketing is a long-term process, and I think having a positive attitude and being fired up about your book are the two key steps to success - especially in a down economy. Excellent points.

]]> Comment on Deal or No Deal? by Laya http://everythingyoushouldknow.com/blog/deal-or-no-deal/#comment-88 Laya Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:37:17 +0000 http://everythingyoushouldknow.com/blog/?p=9#comment-88 Hi Arielle, I do have thoughts to share about intuition. Within each one of us is a *still small voice* that we can tap into. From my experience, it's about getting still and really *listening* to the inside feeling or voice. So the first part to being able to hear that inner voice is to really listen. The tricky part here is that we have a brilliant *other* voice that can rationalize anything. The second part is about getting honest, coming clean with yourself, which is not as easy as it sounds. One piece of the puzzle I've discovered is that if I think I've "arrived" or mastered something, that is a sure sign that I'm about to have a major growth spurt since what ever I think I know is nothing compared to what I still need to know. Somehow finding the balance between confidence and humility opens the channel to tapping in to the truest place of intuition. The third piece is acknowledging that there is something Higher at work, some people call it Soul or G.d or Higher Power. So, we are not in this alone. Last, the more we listen and practice tapping in, the more we learn to understand what it is that we're hearing or feeling. Then we just need the strength to take right action! You know all this... just wanted to add to the discussion. :-) Thank you for all you do and share! I really enjoy learning from you. <3 Laya Hi Arielle, I do have thoughts to share about intuition.

And how kind of you to chart your journey for other authors to follow. While it will make excellent PR for you and your book, it should also give the rest of us pointers on what works and warnings of what doesn't. Fantastic! I'll be particularly interested to learn if these 'email blasts' work as it's something I've tentatively looked at myself for the promotion of my suspense thriller 'What if...?'. Nice to have a guinea pig! So, well done again. I bet all those anxieties we all have about getting another year older have just melted away for you and you can't wait for the New Year and January publication. Great stuff, Steve Steve N.

You're at the FOCUS stage of marketing your book. It helps to have a framework that quickly explains your project to others and gives them instructions on how they can get involved. People really like to help others, but you have to make it easy and obvious. For each of your four action items, please clarify: 1. Who is a good prospect 2. What you want them to do for you 3. The benefits they'll receive for doing it 4. The benefits we'll receive for connecting you to them. In many cases, warm fuzzies are enough.
