Get Inside the News Reporter's Head

Posted in Marketing on 28.02.10

The first rule of PR Rainmaking is to approach reporters as customers. Find out what they want, then give it to them in a way that benefits you and your company. This requires us to learn how to think like a news reporter. For this journey, there may be no better guidebook than James B. Stewart's 'Follow the Story.' On first blush, this would appear to be nothing more than one more how-to book on how to write non-fiction articles for a mass audience. But Stewart is the former editor of the Page ...

Enjoy Driving With Audio Books

Posted in News and Society on 26.02.10

Did you know that A trucker working to the legal limit in the U.S. can rack up to 3,432 driving hours a year--nearly 10 times that of the average New York commuter or enough to listen to the unabridged audio book version of Bill Clinton's My Life 77 times? (Publishing Trends, Market Partners International, September 2005). Think of the way audio books could optimize your time management. Audio books can turn the day to a 26 hours day. Yes, audio books can add extra two hours each day. Still ...

Your Book Not in Book Stores? Don't Worry

Posted in Internet on 25.02.10

Sure, we all want to look on the shelves at Barnes and Noble and see our books there. It's thrilling. But it's really not necessary. I see so many authors waste their time and money paying distributors and driving from store to store, delivering books when they should be selling directly to the public. The Internet makes it possible. In fact, there are many good reasons NOT to be in bookstores: ·You don't have to pay a distributor, who will take a cut of your profits. ·You don't have to worry ...

Your Book is a Business

Posted in Internet on 24.02.10

Think like a businessperson, not an author. Once the final draft is written, you're no longer an author. You're an entrepreneur with a product to sell, and it's critical that you start thinking that way. Instead of spending your time on editing and proofreading, you've got to invest your time in marketing activities. That means finding the answers to three critical questions: a.Who is your audience? b.What will compel them to buy your book? c.What methods should you use to reach them? At this ...

Your Book and a Great Website

Posted in Internet on 22.02.10

Build a great Website.

How To Market When Computers and the Internet Aren't Your Thing

Posted in Marketing on 20.02.10

So you are still stricken with fear at the thought of sending an email, posting a website or downloading...well, anything. It doesn't mean you can't successfully market your business. Not everybody is glued to the net, popular as that myth may be. There are still plenty of us willing to dirty our hands picking up a non-virtual flyer or flipping through a non-virtual newspaper. We leave our houses and drive cars or walk, reading non-virtual signs and advertisements. Maybe it was the pile of ...
