Unique One-Time Opportunity to Join the new Author's Platform Program - for no extra cost
For anyone who signs up for the Breakthrough Strategy Program in the next 7 days, this program will be free:
You've probably heard the term an author's platform. It means your ability to attract an audience for what you've written. It's what publishers look for before deciding whether to buy a book. In fact, an author with a great platform and a mediocre book will be more likely to get a deal than one with a great book and mediocre platform. Fair? No. Real? Yes.
It even applies to screenplays, although with those you are creating a presence that will be noticed by producers, director, or actors.
The problem is that it's a whole different skill and one that has to be learned. The good news is that the internet has made it possible to get exposure without spending a great deal of money. Here are some of the methods we'll cover:
What makes a website an effective ambassador (and why you don't need to spend loads of money)
The right and wrong ways to use Twitter and Facebook
Why video often is NOT the right tool for promoting books and screenplays
How to use article marketing
Why reporters are looking for you--and how to help them find you
How to use podcasts
How to write press releases that get attention
How to establish contact with relevant writing conferences, film festivals, etc. and what to do if you attend
Networking for shy people
What to say (and not say) in interviews
How to get on radio
How to get on local TV
What you can outsource & what you must do yourself
How to use crowdfunding to kick-start your project
How to explore sponsorship possibilities
How to piggyback on established entities
If this sounds overwhelming, don't worry--you won't be using all of these. You will learn enough about each to find out which ones apply to your situation, and then we will go into more depth on those.
This program draws upon my experience as a writer and also the 100 case studies I wrote for my book, "Do Something Different," and the strategy in my book, "Marketing for Entrepreneurs."
There will be lessons that you can go through (the suggested pace is two weeks per) and we will also have some one-to-one and some small group calls in which we discuss exactly what would serve you best.
