"It's a delicious thing to write. To be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Gustave Flaubert


From Our Members

From Mary Walewski:

Sell More Books By Creating Information Products!

If you've already written a book, you can create information products easily by repackaging your book's content into smaller, bite-sized pieces. This allows you to reach a wider audience of people who may not be ready or interested in getting expertise in book form.
 
Join Mary Walewski of Buy The Book Marketing on a teleconference call August 12, 2008 for the start of The Information Product Roadtrip Workshop. Mary and Judy Murdoch of Highly Contagious Marketing will show you how easy it is to repackage your expertise and create new streams of income.
 
The Information Product Roadtrip is a workshop spread over 4, 75-minute teleseminars during which you'll learn how to create an information product and how to market that product. It could lead to more book sales too! The teleseminars will be held on August 12th, 14th, 19th, and 21st. Can't make all of the sessions? They'll be recorded and made available to participants.
