Newsletter 19th December 2021: Do you even like money? 🎁plus a new gift from me, and another from Helen

by | Newsletters

Hi

“Do you even like money?” is the title of a talk that an author friend used to give at a writers conference I went to every year BP (before pandemic.)

He taught us how to write the kind of books that readers buy and how to present a book so that readers one-click and buy as soon as they see it.  He explained how to select a genre, what tropes to include in the book, and how to get the reader to recognize a book they would love from the cover, title, and blurb.

Most the people at the conference laughed when he put that title up on the screen.

And shuffled around in their seats.

Because they had seen the same talk full of gold nuggets the year before.

And done nothing different.

Maybe, they changed a few things here and there, but they were fundamentally writing what they wanted to write and not what readers wanted to buy (if they got around to publishing at all.)

But I made six figures following the advice in that talk. It really was pure gold.

When you look at your own business, are you doing the things that make money?

Or just doing what you feel like?

Are you sitting on a goldmine of content and ideas and doing nothing with them?

Even though you could have a cracking business if you took action?

Do you even like money?

Now, granted this is not the best time of year to forge ahead with new plans. We are all pretty much swamped!

But please think about it as you make your plans for 2022. And use the gold nuggets hidden on your hard drive.

KDP Action Group

A shout out to a group who do take action. I gave them a challenge to publish a book on Amazon (among all the other challenges going on in life) and they did it! 

Take a look at their new books here and see if there’s a book that you’d love to own or recommend to others.

Selling Your Products 101

The best way to sell your products is to know who you are selling to before you create the product! If you create the right product for the right person, the product will just about sell itself!

But do you know who you are selling to? The worst possible answer to that is: everyone.

If you’re not sure who your audience is, then you need this training from Jenn and Ruthie  just $10 during launch with coupon code IDEAL10. (save $17!)

What you will learn in it could make or break your business.

Take a look here.

Doing things you’re not already skilled at will take you right out of your comfort zone.

But that’s fine! That’s the way we grow in business and life.

And the great thing about this workbook is that you can both use it for yourself AND sell it.

I call that a win!

Show Off Your Book or Journal & Sell It

It’s no good hiding your finished work in a corner of your website once you’re done.

Before you can sell your product, potential buyers have to notice it, otherwise you’ll get…crickets.

Go for maximum visibility everywhere with great product images and video.

That sounds like a lot of work but luckily there’s a product called Mockupshots that gives you an easy and very fast way of drawing attention to a book or journal on your website or on social media.

You load up your cover and in a few seconds, you have a huge number of realistic mockups, GIFS and videos that draw the eye and stop the scroll like nothing on earth.😊

Mockup shot

Not only will MockupShots allow you to create hundreds of epic photos of your books, it will give you suggestions for social media posts for each mockup and even allow you to crop, edit and add text right from inside the interface so your graphics are ready to post right away.

I’ve had this for a while and use it mainly to create 3D images of my products with transparent backgrounds but I just looked again at what it can do and I know I’ll be using it a lot more in the future.

Spidy Cover

The cover reveal videos are amazing!

Best thing is, they’ve slashed the price for the holidays.

Take a look at the magic here.  So many cool images, GIFs and videos to make from one cover in an instant to show off your work. Use it on as many books as you like. 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I’ll be back soon with more tips, freebies, and some offers but only the ones I personally think are great value and know the quality to be good.

love
