Spread Your Influence - Review

Save 50% Labor Day Weekend
2012

Today’s society is all about making an influence on the world. I even recently heard about the general manager of a car dealership getting let go because he failed to expand the companies influence. It doesn’t seem to matter anymore what your chosen career path is, you have to expand your influence if you want to survive.

While the main focus in society is the impact of social media, Shelley Hitz has another idea. She suggests that one of the best ways to expand your reach is through self publishing – and I agree.  Self publishing a book allows you to reach people on a deeper level than social media, and can even connect you with people that you would never have met otherwise - it spreads your influence.  Statistics show that 80% of people say that they want to write a book someday and Shelley is equipping today’s generation to make that day today. 

She recently gave her first live Self Publishing Seminar in Michigan, and with her intuitive thinking, she had it professionally videotaped and now has the recording available for purchase on her website. I had the privilege of watching it and all I can say is, “Wow!” This girl really knows her stuff! I’m actually glad that I have the video recordings instead of actually being at the conference because it covers SO much valuable information that it’s hard to process all at once.  She covers the process of self publishing print books from beginning to end, eBook publishing basics, how authors can use Amazon.com for optimum exposure and success, and how to create a successful book marketing plan. So an author who is just starting to write their book, they can save all of the other videos for when they are actually ready to take those steps!

In addition to all of the valuable information in the seminar itself, Shelley is offering her Productivity Coach software as a bonus with the seminar package. That way authors have something to keep them on track and can get more done. I highly encourage you to head over to Shelley’s site to learn more about this valuable resource: http://bit.ly/OyBsrr

“WordPress Blogging for Authors Has Been Demystified . . . !” (Review)

“WordPress Blogging for Authors Has Been Demystified . . . !”

An author and or an indie-publisher’s success depend largely on their ability to create a platform from which to share their message. An integral part of that starts with having a website and or blog that can effectively manages this. Authors know how to write, publishers know how to publish, but they both have difficulty with creating and maintaining a website and or blog that for all intents and purposes contains a ‘gobbledygook’ of intimidating code! 



You don’t have to feel the pain anymore! Shelley Hitz and Bryan Bowers have introduced a simple to understand training course on how to set-up, create and maintain a blog using WordPress. WordPress blogging for authors has been demystified . . . !

Shelley and Bryan provide thorough step-by-step tutorials on the process of setting up an effective author/publisher WordPress blog: from choosing an effective domain using keywords, to choosing a theme, to learning about how the WordPress dashboard works, & knowing what plug-ins and widgets are and how to install them. They don’t just tell you what to do but they also SHOW you HOW to do it, NOT with SCREENSHOTS but using audio, video and PowerPoint presentations (all of which are downloadable)!

Anyone using WordPress can now have the FREEDOM to make a change, add, edit or delete whatever information they want from their site whenever they want. No more waiting for a designer to fit it into their schedule.

I haven’t even scratched the surface of what Shelley and Bryan’s WordPress Course provides . . . in addition to the 20 videos they’ve personally developed, another package of 20 or more videos have been included that provides step-by-step instructions on the most common WordPress tasks!

Try the DIY Method: Successful Authors Need a Website!

Having an author website is one of the keys to the success of your book marketing endeavors. It serves as the hub to all of your internet marketing, and even a referral point for offline marketing. However, creating a successful website isn’t as simple as plug and play. Authors need to know how to get their own domain names and web hosting, configure the settings, and that’s just the beginning. Anyone who is not an internet guru can easily get discouraged.

Even authors who have a dedicated website have noted that gaining exposure and keeping the content fresh and relative is a bit daunting. The top author websites seem to grow larger and larger, while the new authors starting out struggle to gain each new follower.

As an author, I am ready for a change. It seems like something’s got to give if self-published authors are ever going to stand a chance at successfully using a website for marketing. Wouldn’t you agree?

Bryan Bowers and Shelley Hitz have just produced a new author training course to make successful author websites a reachable goal for any author – even authors on a shoestring budget. “Author Website Fast Track: Beautiful Sites That Captivate Your Audience” doesn’t just walk authors step-by-step through the process of creating their own website, it gives us the tools and knowledge we need to make it our book marketing hub. From the very basics of picking out and registering our domain names, to submitting our site to search engines, creating fresh content, and establishing credibility – this package has it all.
