Sell Books by the Truckload and More

If you missed Steve Harrison's teleseminar from last week on selling books by the truckload, watch the following video that explains more about how to sell 10,000 ... 30,000 ... 200,000 books at a time: http://www.MillionDollarAuthorClub.com/videotruckload/?10005.

Book Promotion Advice

I just added a great little page to my website that offers book promotion advice. Check it out at http://www.bookmarket.com/bookpromotion.htm.

Good-Bye U.S. News and World Report

Good-bye to U.S. News and World Report. With their new design and change to a twice-monthly schedule, they are clearly focusing on building their online presence rather than their print publication.

Their website already gets 5 million visitors a month, three times the print magazine's readers.

Alas, with the new biweekly publication schedule (they call it double issues: two issues in one), they will simply be providing their subscribers with fewer issues probably for the same price as their current weekly issues. Alas. They won't get my resubscription with that ruse.

Cover Test: Finding Your Own Home

Stephanie Galindo, one of the readers of my Book Marketing Tip of the Week newsletter, has asked me to do a book cover test for her new book, Finding Your Own Home: The Cat Lovers First-Time Home Buying Guide. The question is: Which one of the following book covers would you pick up first?

A   B   C

Send your choice to Stephanie via email: mjollee@hotmail.com. Tell her your choice: A, B, or C.

I won't do this for everyone, but I do like to encourage you to test your book covers -- but for most of you I would suggest testing your book covers on a high-traffic website that targets the audience for your book.

When you do the test, you can ask a question like I did above: Which one of the book covers would you pick up first?

Don't ask which cover they like, because that question doesn't tell you which book would they actually buy. You want them to think of taking an action (picking up a book, buying a book, or something similar).

Note: Apparently Stephanie never published the book. I can't find Stephanie or her book on Amazon.com. But I did see one reference to the book on the Internet. Alas.

The Law of Networking

Here are a few excerpts from Jochem Klijn's The Law of Networking. As you know, I highly recommend making friends as a key way to market your books. To make friends, you need to learn how to network. Check out these excerpts:

Excerpt from page 4:

If you want to make a difference in how you network, try showing genuine interest in other people and listen attentively to what they have to say. If your focus is on them and not on yourself, people will notice and appreciate your character. Mark my words, people will not only notice how you present yourself, they’ll begin to gravitate to you because they want to be around someone like you -- a person they can trust and whom they can take seriously.

Excerpt from page 51:

It has been my experience with networking that there are two types of entrepreneurs. First, there are those who consider it important to meet people and try to establish business contacts. Then there are those who don’t see the necessity of it. The former are generally ahead of the game when it comes to getting positive results from their efforts. Conversely, the latter often see no results because they put little or no effort into cultivating a network.

Excerpt from page 68:

I heard a story once about a well-known soccer player on his first visit to Barcelona, who took a taxi to the soccer stadium and on the way, tried to give the driver directions on the best way to get there. It’s a rather silly little anecdote but it’s also a splendid example of pride.

Pride always has to know better and loves to show everyone. So don’t be this way. Even if you are smarter than everyone else, be modest about it because eventually others will figure it out anyway.

Excerpt from page 98:

Get to work with these steps and the rest will take care of itself!

1. Sincerely believe that networking is essential for doing business; it is a fundamental ingredient for gaining success. If you don’t see results as quickly as you would like, ask yourself what could be the reason. Be conscious of the fact that you might be wrong. If you think networking hardly works, if at all, realize that this idea has a cause. Probably you haven’t seen very many results or it doesn’t mean much to you yet.

2. You must truly believe in the principle of sowing and reaping and be convinced that with the right attitude, you will gain by it as well.

3. Take action. Decide to start networking. Make the decision to begin and trust that it’s the right one. Make a plan and get to work. Don’t just decide to change things, go do it!

John Kremer in Boulder, Colorado

Please note that I have had to cancel this event due to personal difficulties with the very irrational landlord and next door tenant to the home we are currently renting. I need to remain here in Taos to protect my wife from their actions. My apologies for this inconvenience.

As soon as I can I will be presenting this Event as a webinar series. I'll let you know when that becomes available.
