Introducing…Build your Author Brand Foundation Course

Introductory Offer of £249 or $349

Authors! Does it feel like you’ve tried everything to get your book “out there”? And that if you have to listen to one more internet book marketing guru that you might just need to hibernate in your writing room for ever more? Does the thought of “doing social media” make you want to run in the opposite direction? Do you wish there were some clues that could actually help you to figure out a book promotion strategy that works for you? (and that doesn’t cost the earth?)

As an Author, it’s all very well learning lots of strategies, internet hacks and throwing all of your money at “Ads” and thinking that’s all there is to it. (Until, you realise, that you haven’t actually sold any books yet…)

How would it feel if you knew that there were readers out there not only buying your books, but eagerly awaiting your next publication?

What if your readers turned out to be actual real, live people that stopped you in the local bookstore because they recognised you?

Or came along to your book launches and readings. Or listened to you on podcasts and read your newsletters.

All of this is possible. It does take some application and a little motivation. However, it doesn’t have to mean “trying all of the things” and throwing money at every single new book marketing technology that appears.

It all begins with knowing what to say to your ideal readers about your books and about you as the Author. No book will sell itself. I promise you. Books that appear to “sell themselves” have had help and usually lots of it. (Help that comes in myriad forms, but if not from a professional book publicist or marketer then in the form of years of work on the part of the Author.)

This new Build Your Author Brand DIY Course has been designed to give you the benefit of my professional knowledge, 20+ years experience as a high level publicist, at an affordable level of investment, in an accessible and flexible way.

In the Build Your Author Brand DIY Course you will find out how to:

  • Create your Unique Author Brand

  • Identify your ideal reader and understand how (and where) to reach them

  • Form a marketing and PR strategy that is unique to your books and works with your strengths (and what you enjoy doing!)

    All of this is now available to you as a DIY course for the first time.
    Build Your Author Brand DIY Course will give you access to 3 modules, including videos and worksheets for you to work through at your own pace, in your own time and space.

    You will receive the first 3 modules to:

  • Create Your Unique Author Brand Story

  • Find Your Ideal Reader

  • Create Your Strategy

    PLUS you will also receive the Bonus module - How To Be A Great Podcast Guest.

    This Bonus Module gives you a comprehensive guide for Authors on how to create your perfect pitch to the podcasts of your dreams and give you the strategy to show up as a fabulously entertaining guest!

  • The Build Your Author Brand DIY Course gives you access to 4 pre-packaged recorded modules for you to work through at your own pace, complete with downloadable presentation transcripts for each module plus worksheets for you to download or print out, designed to help you get the most out of the teachings.
