“Confessions of A Book Publisher and Speakers Bureau Owner”

Publisher Arthur Chou of WBusiness Books will explain how understanding a publisher’s challenges can give you more realistic expectations. Some of what he will cover includes:

How to beat the odds (For every 10 books a publisher releases, one will be a blockbuster, two will make some money, two will break even, and five will lose money)
How to sell a publisher (We invest $50,000-$100,000 for each book we publish. We go through development and comprehensive editorial, copy editing, and proofing editing)
Why you want a publisher in your corner (We are experienced at creating the book layout and cover design. We print and market the book and the author. We distribute to bookstores. More important, we sell the book rights all over the world, and in some cases, audio, TV, or movie rights)
How to find the right publisher (Learn what type of books the publisher works with. I have 20-30 people sending me fiction manuscripts-WBusiness Books only publishes business books)
How to sell yourself (How to submit a good author profile. Publishers like to take on authors that can do media tours or speak on the radio)
Why the real money is in speaking, not publishing (but you still need a book)
Why publishers like to work with agents (they know how the business works and filter out many people. They make our job easier)

“Leveraging Your Book: Marketing Beyond the Book, Beyond the Single-Copy Sale”

As a professional speaker, consultant, coach, or other small business owner, do you cringe at the idea of marketing your business? Do believe that you’re only a published author once you’ve finished creating that full-length book?

How to get paid for your business expertise
Seven ways to leverage your content, while writing your book, into immediately saleable products, with minimal costs if any
How to identify bulk-sale clients right under your nose
Why selling 10 copies to one person is NOT a “large-quantity” sale

An easy way to increase profits, whether you like selling or not

Discover how to get a large return on your minimal investment of time and money. Get your juices flowing and your actions moving toward successfully developing and promoting your business with tips booklets and other information products.

Paulette Ensign

Paulette Ensign had no idea she would sell well over one million copies of her 16-page tips booklet, 110 Ideas for Organizing Your Business Life, when she wrote it in 1991. Or that she would do so in four languages and various formats without spending a penny on advertising. Or that she would teach others, worldwide, how to surpass her results in the tips booklets niche she now owns. Nothing in her background of originally teaching string instruments in public elementary schools or becoming a professional organizer seemed to prepare her for that. Yet her can-do attitude triggered and supported those results. She has made a handsome living and a cross-country move from metro New York to a mile from the beach in San Diego by recycling the same 3,500 words since 1991.

Founder and Chief Visionary of www.tipsbooklets.com, Paulette now has more than 30 years of worldwide experience with small business owners, corporations and professional associations in numerous industries.

Paulette added the collaborative Collection of Experts tips booklets to the learning tools and services she has developed, providing an instant product and an instant marketing tool as a supplement or substitute to a person’s individual booklet.

4:45 pm – Adjourn

What You Will Learn

The best marketing investment you can make is to get help creating informative Web sites, hosting persuasive seminars, booking speaking engagements, and getting published as a newsletter – columnist and eventually book author.

Rather than creating a brochure, start by writing how-to articles. Those articles turn into speeches and seminars. Eventually, you gather the articles and publish a book through a strategy called print on demand self publishing (we’ve done it under 90 days and for less than a $1,000 for clients). Does it work? Here are a list of business best-seller titles by professionals and consultants that started out self-published (Source: Southwest Airlines Spirit, March 2005):

The One Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson: picked up by William Morrow & Co. and has sold more than 12 million copies
In Search of Excellence by Tom Peters (of McKinsey & Co.): in its first year, sold more than 25,000 copies directly to consumers—then Warner sold 10 million more.
Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun by Weiss Roberts: sold half a million copies before being picked up by Warner.

Wouldn’t it be better if someone helped you who knows the tricks and shortcuts? We can show you how to leverage your time and get others to do most of the work for you, even if you are a solo practitioner.

Iron-Clad Guarantee
If you are not satisfied by the end of the first day, just ask for a full refund. We will give it to you without any hassles.
