I remember listening to an audio live about Platforms and Brands online. Since then I have developed a brand and am working on my manuscript. Made a website with lots of audio and video content for free. Getting ready to go for the BIG launch! http://www.HotConflict.com I have been following you for about two years.

Lee Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:19:23 +0000 http://everythingyoushouldknow.com/blog/?p=5#comment-78 Hi Arielle, Congratulations on the deal. I can imagine how thrilled you are! 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. Lee author of suspense thriller 'What if...?' and eco-blog http://www.lionsledbysheep.com Hi Arielle,

I wrote a book 2 years ago that I am now trying to market by sending free copies to celebrities in all fields with a follow up letter asking for a few words or sentences of endorsement. The book is called, 'A Reversal of Thought' and is listed on amazon. com So ...good luck(but i'm sure you don't need it)...and I hope to get some great tips from your blog on my 2nd revolution........

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.

I have been searching for a path that would allow me to get involved and grow with an energetic, highly intellectual group of positive people. Then your request showed up. I can provide you the support you need to move your book and promotion through its journey to success. I have experience as an Advertising Manager of a Business monthly, worked with high-level executives of some of Canada's major corporations concerning training, operated a Speakers Bureau and most recently took up an interest in writing (I had a few advertorial articles published). I offer you my full support, whatever it takes winning attitude. Could you please provide me an outline of how you see this partnership emerging? Thank you.

This is a perfect learning tool that will be great for novice authors - people like me - about to publish my own first book. I hope to follow you through the process and celebrate along with you in publishing early next year. I have read books about publishing and tried to learn through teleseminars. Most of the time I have found the number of things I need to do somewhat overwhelming - but this step by step blog idea is a fabulous concept. Thanks again for the willingness to share the details of the many important things you are doing. To me this will be a stimulating goal-based list of things I also need to do!
