Does anyone need help with book promotion? Are you an author who is struggling to sell the quantity of books you desire? If you’re like most authors, bookstores are shutting you out—and those booksellers who do accept your books are not selling any. You’ve given up on sending press releases because they are always ignored. You don’t really understand how to get book reviews. You’ve done a few speaking gigs and would like to do more, but don’t know how to go about it. If this describes you, you are in the majority of authors today.
Book promotion is darn hard work. I actually had a hopeful author tell me once, “I won’t have to do the usual promotion because this book will sell itself.” How naïve, short-sighted and immature is that? Even if the book is so amazing that it sells itself, you still have to introduce it to your audience. You still have to make it known. And this means knowing who your audience is, knowing where they are and understanding how to approach them. These are the beginning steps for marketing a book.
Add to this, an assessment of your strengths and weaknesses, the willingness to grow and improve in areas that will compute into book sales and the huge task of discovering what book promotion is all about and choosing those promotional activities that suit you and your project.
The fact is that most authors need help in the areas of mindset/understanding, knowledge and motivation when it comes to book promotion. Generally, author types are not natural marketers. That’s why I have written books and hundreds of articles on the subject and that’s why I have devised a brand new Online Book Promotion Course.
I will be starting the first course very soon—probably this week. So, if you are interested sign up NOW. I’ll let you know what day of the week the lessons and assignments will arrive in your email box. For additional information and to sign up, go to http://www.matilijapress.com/course_bookpromotion.htm
Your credit card will NOT be charged until we agree on the day of the week I’ll send the lectures, etc.
It’s a 6-week course. I will work with authors of fiction or nonfiction, including children’s books. I work one-on-one with each student privately. So you get what you need/desire related to your specific project. The fee is $200 for the 6-week course and my regular feedback.

Hurry, I expect this class to fill quickly. Sign up today and you’ll have a solid marketing plan in place in time for holiday sales. And, keep in mind that when the economy is weak, people turn to books as cheap entertainment. Let me show you how to reach your audience.
