11. Katherine and Denise
“When I got close to
finishing my book, The
Wheel of Creativity:
Taking Your Place in the
Adventure of Life, I got
in touch with Denise. I
knew I needed to build a
platform and because I
spend most of my time in
Europe, I could not build
it in the traditional way.”

12. “For 6 months, I took part in
Denise’s VIP Mentoring
Program.
If you’re looking to grow
your business online, you
have to grow your
platform, Denise will help
you create the
strategy, take you through
the process, and tell you
exactly what you need to
know to make it happen.”

15. “When I started working with Denise on a one-to-
one basis, I had a blog and some vague ideas about
what I wanted to accomplish, but no workable plan.
With her assistance, encouragement, and “how-to”
input, I went from an idea for a book to a published
book, a teleseminar, and the production of several
bonus incentives.
Denise kept me focused and on a time frame – all
coupled with the support I needed. Two books
later, we continue to work together. I bounce many
ideas off of her and all the support and information
I need is available.”

You probably know the famous adage: “A picture is worth a thousand words”That’s never been truer than it is today with the abundant use of images on social networks.Welcome! I’m thrilled and honored that you’re spending your precious time with me today. I know this is a popular subject, but I didn’t realize HOW popular – several hundred people have registered for the class today. My intention today is for you to learn how simple and quick it can be for you to start building your author platform with one simple tool… images.An adage is a short but memorable saying which holds some important fact of experience that is considered true by many people
Each business I started, began with no client and no products and no content. Just like you, we had to market our businesses and figure out what works and discard what doesn’t. Like you, we are pressed for time and want to be as efficient as possible so we can get the most bang for our time and energy.Also Trust Your Heart: Turn Your Ideas Into IncomeWriting for “Online Marketing Superstars”

Your "platform" is your virtual stage from which you share your important message to the audience who've raised their hands and said they want to hear it.It can seem daunting, but you've got to have a platform of raving fans if you want to sell your book when it's published.Yet, most authors don't focus on building visibility and buzz until after their book is complete. And while it's not too late, your results just won't be as good as if you had built your platform before your book was published.
Images are one of the most powerful ways to connect and engage with people. You can quickly convey a complex idea with a simple image. They are simple to create and social-network neutral. meaning you can use the content you create on multiple sites to better leverage your time, energy and resources while getting the most visibility and amplification of your message.I’m going to share with you a few ways that several of my clients and others have used images in their book promotion …

Now what? Are you thinking “All these ideas for using images to promote your book, but I don’t know exactly where to start”If you are starting on your book marketing journey or you’ve been struggling to sell the books you’ve already published, then imagine what it would be like if you already had a large, loyal following of readers or a community of people in tune with your message and wanting to know more, ready and willing to buy you’re book when it’s published?What if it could be easy to promote your book?What if you had a plan that was simple to follow?What if you didn’t have to do a thousand tactics but could start with a few and build from there?What if your marketing tactics were actually building a list so you have raving fans who want your book when it’s ready?Ah, that would be so much less stressful, wouldn’t it?
I’ve promised you a bonus tip and I’ll get to that right in just a couple of minutes.Heard on a Google Hangout with Alex Mandosian:Why people fail: don’t get started, don’t keep going, and don’t go in the direction they are taughtThis is what I want for you. It frustrates me to no end when I hear from entrepreneurs and authors who have devoted so much time, energy and expertise to their book and then can’t sell it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of roadblocks that come up on the path to selling more books.These are some of the reasons I know you may not being sales results for your book.There are thousands of ways to promote a book so you get paralyzed by all the info you’ve diligently gathered and studied.Then where do you start? How do you know what will work? What if it doesn’t work?You try one or two things and then stop because you sell only a few books.
No more ready, fire, aim
Why only 3 tools? Because you need to start somewhere and I want you to experiment and implement without getting completely overwhelmed.I don’t want to overwhelm you with dozens of tactics. If you can focus on learning and mastering 3 tactics, put them into practice and start seeing results, then that will motivate you to keep on going, consistently, and you can layer on additional tactics as you go.Also, these tactics are platform agnostic. Rather than teach you how to use Facebook to promote you book, leveraging your time and resources is more important. So you’ll focus on tactics that you can repurpose and reuse on multiple networks.Read modulesWhat you learn, you’ll be able to use over and over again, whether its for promoting your next book, or your programs and services.
