- 2007-03-25 22:10:26 - The 3 secrets of high traffic sites
- It seems to be in vogue these days to downplay the
importance of web traffic. It's popular (and perfectly
valid) to say things like: "Traffic is worthless if you
don't turn it into money."
Excellent point, but this assumes that you actually have
some traffic to begin with. Each step of the Internet
Marketing Process is not just important - it's req...

- 2007-03-25 22:10:26 - Story of a bestseller: the power of a postcard
- A recent article in Publisher's Weekly reported about an author who shot their book up to the #1 spot on Amazon.com where it remained for two days. This new marketing tactic (called "permission marketing") is becoming very popular.
Unfortunately, it's not inexpensive and you must also have access to a large database of email addresses. This database is blasted with persuasive emails...

- Sick of the Traditional Publishing Path?
Judy Cullins ?2004 All Rights Reserved.
A book coaching client recently emailed me that she was getting sick of traditional publishing because of so many costly requirements and so little payoff. Do you feel the same way?
Fifteen years ago, I worked hard on a 60-page proposal for a top agent and after a year got "approva...

- It's one thing to write a book, it's an entirely different thing to write one that's a saleable, viable, marketable product. Ensuring the success of a book is something even the biggest publishers have never been able to guarantee. Mitigating circumstances, flash trends, and world events will all affect buyer preferences. That said, there are still ways to leverage the sales-factor in your favor a...

-
What is a book club sale? It is actually a rights sale or a licensing agreement: you are granting permission to a book club the right to ?borrow? your work. You have written a book, and now you are allowing a book club to print and distribute your book to its members.
You allow the book club to reprint your book in a specific language, in a specific format, for a specific pe...

- Imagine this: You're in the elevator with the producer of your favorite show. The program you've been trying to get on for years. What would you say to this person? Would you comment on the weather? Perhaps lament about the price of gas? Or would you take the opportunity to pitch your story as you glide up three floors? Now, this might not actually ever happen but it's still a good idea to be prep...

- 2007-03-25 22:10:26 - Publish a bestseller!
- Many of us have heard the term ?residual income? many times before. It simply means getting paid over and over for the effort you have put forth one time. In sales, I may sell a product that a customer will need over and over for many years. I can expect to earn residual commissions for that one time effort.
Imagine now, writing your own book and earning on-going royalties for many ...

-
I am twenty three years old, have sold over four thousand copies of my first book in a matter of a month after it's release and recently been contacted for contracts with Random House and Harper Collins for two new titles. I think a good deal of my recent success is highly correlated with my Reading for Charity Contest and the attention it has drawn. I'll explain the entire backgro...

- So what do you do when you have a book signing and no one shows up? Sure that may sound like the beginning of a great joke but for many of us, it's our worst nightmare.
One of the scariest moments in my life was my first book signing. Even more frightening than having my first signing was the fact that I was doing it out of town and wouldn't have my support group of friends to stop ...

- While traditional marketing can work for the book author or publisher, the return is dim for the huge effort it takes. You must promote 90% of the time to even get a milligram of attention. While you may have a success or two, most of your efforts will bring poor book sales. Ask yourself right now, what is working for me? What is not?

- So, you say you're too busy to market your book? Well, welcome to the club. Most of the authors I work with or coach work day jobs and try to cram in as much marketing as they can after they come home from an exhausting day at the office. Working this way can be completely overwhelming. It's no wonder mot authors only market their books for ninety days. Who could stand to keep up this pace any lon...

- It continues to amaze me that everyday I see more and more
webmasters and e-zine publishers still worrying about the high
costs of online advertising and promotion when all this time they
have been sitting on a 24 carat goldmine. A goldmine so valuable
that it promises to end their worries for months if not years to
come.

- So you're all ready to promote your book. You've got a great press kit, a polished bio, and a letter-perfect press release. Now you're ready to sell, sell, sell, right? Wrong.

- 2007-03-25 22:10:26 - Micro-genres: the next big thing in publishing
- Welcome to the world of publishing, an ever- changing dynamic that seems to reinvent itself nearly every season, some might even say everyday. The latest of these reinventions is what I call the "micro- genre." It's a way of niching a book in such a finite way that it feeds into a category within a category. An example of this is the micro-genre of chick-lit. Now we have hen-lit, mommy-lit and a f...

How and when did you get started as a writer?
I always wrote as a child ? letters to friends and poems, but never thought of myself as a writer until receiving an A on an essay in college. I'm a late bloomer and didn't become a newspaper reporter until almost age 40.
How do you usually find your ideas?
Truthfully, I always had trouble co...
