Event description
My guest today is international best-selling author Patrick Snow, who has sold 150,000 copies of his first book, Creating Your Own Destiny. Patrick started as a self-published author and now has two books published with Wiley & Sons (the largest publisher of business books), Hs is also a publishing coach, well-acquainted with different publishing options.
In this revealing seminar, Patrick will share the lessons he's learned through his own journey as an author and also as a publishing coach. You'll discover:
The 5 keys to creating a best-selling book
Your three publishing options (plus a worthwhile "hybrid"), and some important pros and cons of each.
Common Mistakes made by authors that almost guarantee their books will never become "best-sellers."
What key lesson Patrick learned personally from publishing guru Dan Poynter about creating a successful book.
The secrets to create high-volume book sales (even if you are self-published).
Why a bookstore may be a lousy place for you to sell your books.
How to use a book in your business plan to create synergistic streams of revenue.
Plus, you'll get an overview of Patrick Snow's Book Publishing, Book Promotion and Speaker Road Map!
