Get My Personal Insights At These Events

Throughout my years in publishing, some of my greatest insights have come from attending a small group seminar. In this environment, you can:

• gain personal insights from the instructor
• have the opportunity to ask specific questions
• receive the attention of the instructor for your needs

 
Your relationships in the publishing community are key and I hope you are continuing every day to build those relationships through tools like Twitter and Facebook. You never know when one of those relationships will be important to you and move you forward in your publishing life. 

In the next few weeks, I'm holding two events that will provide you with this type of opportunity.

First, I'm teaching a four-hour workshop on How to Jumpstart Your Publishing Dreams. It will be held in Irvine on Wednesday, April 23^rd. The topic goes with the updated version of my book, Jumpstart Your Publishing Dreams. I will be giving at least a dozen different ways for you to propel forward your publishing life. 

Second, I'm teaching a two-hour workshop on Go Viral: Making Sense of the Social Media Networks. It will also be held in Irvine on Wednesday, May 14^th. Social media does not have to consume massive amount of time but it is something you have to tackle consistently to grow your target audience. I've got almost 100,000 followers on Twitter and large numbers on other social networks. I'm going to give you my step-by-step insights during this workshop. You will leave with an action plan for your social media.

These workshops are not for everyone. In fact the room only holds ten people. Talk about some personalized attention! 

Each of these workshops are backed up with my “no questions asked” money-back guarantee. I hope to see you at one or both of these events.

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.
