Write, Publish and Market Your Book with No Out of Pocket Expense

Write, Publish and Market Your Book with No Out of Pocket Expense

As far back as I can remember I dreamed of being a published author. Like many other "wanna be" authors, I just knew if I could get a big name publisher all in my world would be good.

I began my quest over 25 years ago to find the perfect publisher. Sadly, I struggled trying to figure out the magic formula for securing a publisher who would readily publish and market my works.

Like many others, I knew getting a big name publisher would solve all my author woes; I would end up on Oprah and yes, all would be well in my world.

As I researched what it takes to get published by one of the "big houses" I realized the reality of the publishing industry is very different from what I naively believed to be true.

Here's the truth.... Not only can it take years to secure a publisher, the amount of control an author has can be minimal and the amount of money you make can also be very, very minimal.
Not one to give up easily I began my quest to figure out how to get my works to market. I read everything I could get my hands on about how to become a published author.

It became very apparent if I wanted to have control over my writings and have the potential for high profit margins; self publishing is the way to go.

There was just one little problem...where was I going to get the $10,000 plus it would take to do this.

Again, not one to give up easily I thought if I could just figure out how to raise $10,000 through creative methods, I would have the money to publish a book.

Not only did I figure out how to do this, I've done this on more than one occasion. Check this out... when my book, The Law of Achievement, came out in May of 2006, within 24 hours of my launch I sold $23,000 worth. Since that time, the backend opportunities have gleaned several hundred thousands of dollars with more opportunities opening up all the time.

I used a very strategic (and obviously effective) process to gain visibility for the book and ultimately, my other products and services.

Here are two things that can be done to offset costs. One, pre-sell your book by way of current clients, friends, colleagues and family members. Two, find sponsors who have a similar market. Develop a proposal you can present to potential sponsors outlining the benefits to a sponsorship opportunity.

Imagine how your life would change if you knew you would make money on virtually any book you take to market AND you could do so with no out of pocket expense. I can tell you from my firsthand experience, your life will never be the same.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
