Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates

“Save thousands of dollars in book publicist fees with this comprehensive collection of fill-in-the blanks media relations tools designed to help you sell more books!”

Dear Author:

You know the importance of selling books. It goes beyond cashing royalty checks – the advance on your next book often depends on how many copies your last book sold. And if you’re self-published, sales mean money in the bank – immediately.

But you can’t sell books unless people know about them, and that’s the problem. And it’s your problem, not the publisher’s. A publisher makes your book available for purchase, but it’s up to you to make certain people know it’s there to buy.

If book promotion isn’t in your skill set, you have to pay thousands of dollars to a publicist who might or might not be good, right?

Wrong.

You don’t have to spend thousands of your hard-earned dollars on a publicist to generate the buzz that leads to book sales. You can do it yourself and you can it do it very well.

It doesn’t matter what you do or don’t know about book promotion right this very minute. I’ve got the combination to the lock on secrets of top publicists and I’m going to give that combination to you.

Help is here. Serious help. I’m talking about the kind of help that can make a huge difference in your results – and your bank account.

I’ve assembled an incredible downloadable workbook that is brimming with easy-to-use book publicity forms and templates – and detailed instructions on how to use them so you’ll get fantastic results. If you can string together coherent sentences and want your book to succeed, you’ll be able to use this workbook to create all the tools you need to generate incredible book buzz.

You’ll learn how to create and use each media relations tool. Here’s just a sampling of what you can do with these tools:

• Generate book reviews
• Snag valuable interviews with local, regional and national journalists representing all types of media outlets
• Secure exposure on the blogs of influential thought-leaders
• Create an attention-getting press kit containing the most sought after information about your book

Who knows your book better than you? Who knows your book’s media angles better than you? Who wants this book to succeed more than you?

Nobody. This is your job. And I’m giving you what you need to do it well and at a mere fraction of the cost of hiring a specialist.

I’ve created the forms in this workbook from my way too many years of experience as an award-winning publicist. But because I’m such a stickler for giving you the best value for your money, I spoke with others in the business, too – top book publicists and industry insiders who know what works and what doesn’t – to make sure what I’ve got in this priceless workbook is as good as it can be. And it is.

Here’s what people who have used Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates are saying about it:

“As a first-time author your Build Book Buzz templates were an incredible value. Saved me a ton of time and more importantly ensured that my first effort was a professional one. In the first three days of my publicity efforts, three editors have downloaded material that was built from your templates. Thanks for everything.”

“It was about page 20 when I realized I could quit holding my breath. This time my hopes weren’t too high. This workbook really was going to make promoting my book a clean, simple task. I wish I had found this resource before dropping hundreds on those other tomes, the ones that just created panic over how much I had to do, and how little I knew how to do it. Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates is, like, the preschool-easy path to a doctoral degree. Phew! That’s all I can say.

“Wait, no. There’s one more thing I can say. I was all set to pay a marketing service to create and distribute my book’s press release. God knows that’s outside of my skill set. It was guaranteed to reach “at least 1,000, and up to 10,000.” Sounds great, right? Totally worth the $598!

“Luckily, I found Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates before I pulled the trigger. On page 25 of this workbook, I found a fill-in-the-blanks form for creating my own pro-quality press release. Then, on page 65, I learned of a service that will send it to every U.S. newspaper with a circulation greater than 50,000…for $125! So with pages 25 and 65 alone, Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates saved me a cool $473. Phew, indeed.”

“I highly recommend the Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates workbook. Even though I’ve been writing press releases for 15 years, I picked up a new tip from the workbook about how to write them more effectively. And after posting my Author Q&A on my Web site, it was reprinted in several national magazines. That was great (free) publicity for my new book.”

“Using Build Book Buzz Publicity Forms & Templates, I was able to quickly create my first tip sheet, which is generating local and national interest in my new book. Instead of hiring a publicist to do this for me, which would have cost at least $500, I learned exactly how to put it together myself for maximum impact. And that’s just one of the tools! I’ll easily save myself thousands of dollars because I’ll be able to prepare all the publicity documents I need for my latest book using the contents in this workbook as my guide.”
