Help Drive My Ebook to #1 on Amazon

My newest book is now on Amazon Kindle Book Marketing Success Secrets: The Constant Drumbeat of Every Writer (Conversations About Marketing Interview Series: Volume 1:4) co-authored with Marketing Expert D'vorah Lansky. This 47 page book is FREE--until Midnight PST Thursday, October 18. 

I'm writing to tell you about the book and encourage you to download it right now at: http://amzn.to/RaBsxx

As Kathy H. Porter wrote in her Five Star review: "Today, authors have to be actively engaged at every step of the publishing process. Which means, once the book is written, it's time to bring it to market. If this sounds like a daunting task, it doesn't have to be. D'vorah Lansky knows just the right questions to ask on your behalf during her interview with Terry Whalin, a guy "...who understands both sides of the editorial desk - as an editor and a writer." Whalin explains that an author's marketing message is really an extension of their professional brand which he likens to creating a "constant drumbeat.""

Also Porter, quoted part of my book saying, "Writers have to learn how to beat that drum and beat it all the time, to tell people about their book. I've read and heard over and over that people have to hear about your book probably six or seven times before they actually reach into their wallets and pay money for that book, and decide it's something important that they need. So how many times can you beat that drum over and over to help people realize that?"

Here's how I suggest you take action:

1. Download your own copy of the book at:

2. Tweet about the free book to your friends or
tell others on Facebook saying something like:

Get @TerryWhalin's Amazon Kindle Book The Constant
Drumbeat for Every Writer Reached #1 on
Kindle.FREE at: http://amzn.to/RaBsxx

3. Finally, write a couple of sentences of praise (review) on Amazon along with a Five Star review.

Here's what we're trying to do--and you can help. The Ebook is already #1 on Amazon Kindle but you can help drive the Ebook to #1 on Amazon.

Thank you for being a part of this effort--and downloading the book. I'm eager to help your writing as you read and use the content of this book. Here again is where you can get it:

Use Teleseminars to Connect with Readers

If you are an author, you want to connect with your readers. Because as you connect with them, they learn about your book, talk about your book and tell others about your book. This type of viral spreading of the news about your book does not happen without a plan—at least in most cases.

On a regular basis, I use teleseminars to connect with my audience. If you read these entries about the Writing Life, over the last few years, I've held a number of teleseminars with different guests. Each one tackles a unique topic. Each of these sessions are recorded and the recordings provide on-going teaching and training for others. The tool that I've been using for my events is InstantTeleseminar. You can use this link to find out more about this resource and even get a 21–day trial.

Because of the global nature of the Internet, these teleseminars are not just United States or North America events. They are worldwide. I've had people on the call in Europe or Australia or Thailand.

Teleseminars are a terrific way to build relationships with readers yet many authors don't use them. Maybe they don't know how to use the technology. Or they are unsure what to teach or how to use the event and how does it connect with their books. There are many potential questions.

On Tuesday, March 27^th, I'm hosting another event called Teleseminar Secrets for Authors. I'll be grilling my friend, D'vorah Lansky, author of the Amazon bestseller, Book Marketing Made Easy: Simple Strategies for Selling Your Nonfiction Book Online. This event is for every author—whether you write fiction or nonfiction. Teleseminars are a valuable tool for everyone.

I encourage you to ask D'vorah a question about how to use teleseminars to connect with readers and sell more books. If you don't have a question, then mark “no question” in the box and register with your first name and primary email address. You will reach the confirmation page. At this page, you can mark it to return to a live webcast on March 27^th and you can have immediate access to a Special Report from D'vorah: 7 Teleseminar Tips and Tracking Sheets for Authors.

If you can't make the live event, I encourage you to go ahead and sign up. The event will be recorded and everyone who signs up will receive the link to the replay. With the replay, you can download the recording to your computer or iPod and listen to it on your schedule.

I'm excited about the teaching for every author about Teleseminar Secrets. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
