Author Websites

Monday, June 16th, 2008

A website is no longer something that is optional. For authors, a website is an address, and one that is necessary to connect with their audience — whether from print media, radio, television, or direct marketing. We work with authors to make author websites simple, and, step by step, we enable our authors to use their own sites for a grandfathered presence online (and higher google rankings!).  We offer Author Websites with our Author Packages.

 Every Author Website Comes With:

  • Page Editor
  •  Unlimited New Pages 
  •  Pre-loaded Pages 
  •  Dynamic Site Menu
  •  Online Forms
  •  Send Page to a Friend
  •  Printable Pages
  •  Special Pages
  •  Site Backup
  •  Users
     

Virtual Book Tours

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Authors have choices when booking book tours, you don’t need to travel long distances or worry about the travel arrangments and expenses. Many authors are choosing to promote their book with a virtual tour. A virtual book tour is exactly what it says — a book tour that you can conduct entirely from the privacy of your home or office! Many blogs, podcasts, radio shows, television shows are hunting each day for guests to interview, and you are just the expert they are looking for! We set up a month of dates, a year of dates, or something in between… We work with you to set up dates that work for you, and you can conduct all of the interviews by telephone or across the web.

The best reason to have a virtual book tour is to ratchet up your book’s publicity. Step by step, interview by interview, appearance after appearance, your book will start underground, and make its way into the mainstream! The Virtual Book Tour is much more reasonable than hiring a publicity team by several times, and it often has a much more effective reach!

Audio Books

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Audio Books are the hottest things on the market right now. But they are not as tricky or as expensive as you might think. There are many ways of recording your audio book, from inexpensive to through-the-roof. We like to help our clients find ways of staying as near as possible to the inexpensive side of the scales, while maintaining our reputation for Grammy-quality audio

 The most important step in Audio Book creation is audio mastering. We devote a lion’s share of our effort to making your audio sound as pristine as possible. Grammy-quality sound. It doesn’t matter where you recorded your audio book — we will help set you up with a home studio. And, in the process of mastering, we will make it sound as if you paid thousands for recording time at a major studio.

We work with you at the close of audio production to develop a marketing strategy, and can continue to walk you through the process of getting exposure and publicity in advance of the audio book’s release. We focus on several different aspects of publicity.

Instead of being one of 300,000 new books published each year, you will be one of a few thousand audio books!

Inspiration

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Tip #1

Stay true to your story…In this industry, and in the world today, there are many diversions that will come your way… If you are successful, you will be distracted by fame. If you are unsuccessful, you will be distracted by fear… Always remember the story!

Tip #2

You are doing this to help others…Regardless of the subject of your book, you aren’t just in this for yourself! You are making an important connection to other people… You are creating an alternate reality!

Tip #3

Every author has been in your situation! When times get hard, remember that every author has been in a similar situation, and that there is a way out!…

Tip #4

Keep on knocking – the door will open! If you work long and hard enough, you will open the door to this industry. But be prepared for whatever comes your way! It might be the door you were expecting, but more likely than not, it will be a different color, a different shape… You might not even realize you found and enteredthe door! Keep your eyes open, and enjoy your discoveries!

Tip #5

Don’t lose your love for this story…Don’t ever lose your love for your story, and for yourwriting! Your audience is waiting to read your every word!

The Riskiest Way To Publish

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

(Un-)Tip #1

If you want to take a gamble…If you want to risk more than just the success of your book, then over-invest, print too many copies, advertise in publications before having adequate marketing…

(Un-)Tip #2

If you want to end up in the hole. If you want to go into debt, DON’T create a budget! Finances can truly get out of hand if you get carried away, or if you listen to the schemes of many publishers online! Take one step at a time, and never gamble on your book! Under-invest instead… until you see success!

(Un-)Tip #3

If you want spammers to send you 1000 messages/day…If you enjoy e-mail messages about every possible kind of medicine and part of the body, then publish your email address all over the web!

(Un-)Tip #4

If you want people to walk past your book. Though you almost certainly don’t want this to be the  case… If you don’t like people to purchase your book, you should have a terrible, run-of-the-mill cover design! This industry, unfortunately, DOES judge a book by its cover!

(Un-)Tip #5

If you want your books to mold in your basement…The fastest way to have your books grow mushrooms in the basement is to order 10,000 of them! Guaranteed!!
