But what if you had the right information to guide you to the next step—no matter where you are right now?

book.

Now, after one year, my targeted book and coaching audience has grown over 25% a month with 12 new clients in a month, and going up! That means community with my blog and book sales to match. It’s much more than I ever dreamed of! I’m so excited, I want to share as much of it as I can in this short time to help you optimize your Linkedin social
media marketing for your book and business promtoion platform.”

before I got active?

with Andrea Campbell
About this session: In order to succeed in this industry, you, the writer, must know it intimately from all sides. If you were a clothing designer: you wouldn’t start without creative talent, the right materials, and a pattern to guide you. If you opened up a retail business, you wouldn’t expect to: sell your products without knowing how to produce or restock your merchandise; you wouldn’t open your doors without having a business foundation or center from which to sell, and you wouldn’t try operating without a market strategy or knowing the competition. So why would you expect writing to be any different? Yet thousands of would-be authors do. They buy into the philosophy that if I just pen a terrific book, then I will become successful.
In this session Andrea will discuss:
How the publishing business works
What the key players do and how to find them
How to describe your product and its features
How to Ride the wave of rejection with style and grace
How to Make yourself a dream client/writer/author
And More!
