From: Joni Hamilton
Dear
Book Publicity Seeker,
I've said it a million times, and I'll say it again: publicity is one of the
crucial keys to the success of
your
book promotion plan. It will literally drive
the customers straight to you to buy your book. Why?
Because people trust the media, and an
endorsement from the media will mean success for you.
How do I know? I'm a
book publicist.
For years I've personally worked with authors developing
publicity campaigns and booking author tours all across North
America. I've earned fortunes in
free publicity for authors and I'm
going to show you how to do exactly what I've done.
"Thank you so very
much. Your customer service sensitivity is outstanding. I really
appreciate all of your efforts.
I have read what you sent me three times...I love it and will
start to implement them. I have done a lot of the things you
suggest but not as professional as what you have indicated in
the book.
And thank you for all of your help and best of all your customer
service...you all really care!!! I appreciate that."
R.J. Lancaster
I'll be honest with you, publicity takes work (which is why
book publicists charge a lot of money) but... if you follow the right techniques, get your
hands on the right tools and learn the insider tricks of the
trade then...
Publicity
is the easiest - and cheapest - way to get the word out about your book
and to make your book sales soar.
Do
you know how much
traditional advertising costs?
...Advertising
firms will tell you that in an average size city,
you would need an advertising budget of at least a million
dollars to even make people bat an eye.
I don't know about you, but I think a million dollars is a heck of a
lot of money for a small business to cough up.
Guess what a TV interview or a feature article earned through your
book publicity campaign costs you? NOTHING! Nothing is a heck of a lot
cheaper than a million dollars.
Creating an effective
book publicity campaign costs you little more than
some of your time and a bit of creative thinking. That's it.
So, if you don't have that million dollar budget to pay for an
advertising campaign, you must focus on
creating a rock-solid publicity campaign. If you don't, how will
people find out about your book??
Ok, let's get straight to the point and the reason why you're
reading this...
It's great that you've worked to hard to write and publish your book, and even better that
your book is sitting on the bookstore shelves, or on your website, all ready
and waiting for the
customer to buy. You've come so far and worked so hard...
...so why isn't anyone buying it?
Because they don't
know about it!
Your
book publicity campaign is about nothing more than creating public awareness,
driving demand -- and selling books.
It really is just that simple.
You know you have to do publicity (otherwise you wouldn't be here
reading this right now, would you?). The problem is that you
probably don't know where to start.
Well, your first option is to hire a
book publicist. It's true
that professional book publicists are
worth their weight in gold (if I do say so myself)...
...but you probably know by now that they pretty much COST their
weight in gold too ($5,000 - $10,000 monthly retainers are
pretty much standard).
Your second option is
to learn the essential tricks of the trade and do it yourself for a
fraction of the cost. It's really not difficult, when you know what
you're doing. If you have the right tools, the right information,
and a little one-on-one support from an expert (like me!), you don't
need anything else.
"...the producer of
City TV in Toronto took me aside and told me Joni was one of the
best publicists he has had the pleasure of working with! ...If I
could choose anyone to represent me and my book, there would be
absolutely no question."
Julie Van Rosendaal - author of One Smart Cookie and Grazing

So,
where do you start?
You start with good materials. You've heard people in the publishing
industry talk about producing a great
news
release, a professional
media kit, and a comprehensive publicity
campaign, but you just don't know EXACTLY what that means. I can
tell you exactly what it means.
It's the honest truth that having poor materials actually can mean the difference
between your story winding up on the front page... or in the
circular file.
If you can't capture
the attention of your media contact within seconds, you've lost
them. Producers and editors receive literally hundreds of news
releases and press kits every day, so what will make them take
notice of yours?
I'll show you exactly
how to produce the materials that get noticed.
Ok, so you have great materials, but who do you send them to? If you
think you can just send a news release blindly to the LA Times and
wind up with a front page review... think again.
Not only do you need to know exactly WHAT to send do the
media, you also need to know exactly HOW to send it, WHO
to send it to, and WHAT to do after you've sent it to ensure
that you get booked. There is a technique and strategy involved in
the publicity game, which is why publicists have jobs!
Now, does this mean
that you have to be best friends with the executive producer at
Oprah to ever get booked on the show? Not even close, and any
publicist that tells you that is flat out lying.
I'll show you all of
these techniques and strategies, along with the simple steps to
sending the right materials, the right way, to the right people.
All the
Tools, Techniques and Tips You Need
After talking to countless authors and publishers who just didn't
have the budget to pay the huge retainers we charge as publicists, I
realized that I needed to find another way to help authors create
good publicity and
book promotion campaigns. So that's exactly what I've done,
and I've made it all downloadable so you can have access in the next
24 hours.
I have created a complete and easy-to-follow guide that walks you through the

book
publicist -- me!

news releases, media kits (press kits) and solid publicity campaigns
that work. These truly are the things that
make a world of difference in getting your story noticed and getting
you the media attention you need to sell more books.
So, without wasting any more time, let's get
straight to the tools you need to start selling thousands of copies
of your book.
Here's what I'm going to give you in
your downloadable Beginner's Guide to Publicity Kit:

book promotion
campaign
that generates thousands of dollars in free publicity.

Media Kit Guidebook
Do
you know the crucial elements that must be included in every media
kit? There are specific things that the media look for and expect to see
in your media kit. Do you know what they are?
The answers are all here for you.
This is the
media kit template that will show you how to create your own press kit. It's
easy to follow, straightforward format shows you how to create your
own media kit quickly, easily, and without spending a fortune.
Now I know what you're going to say...
...it's one thing to throw this guidebook at you and send you off
running, but you need to know WHY you're putting this press kit together
in the first place.
All of your
questions will be answered in the bonus report...
What is a Media Kit and Why Do I Need One?
This
report outlines
the importance of a media kit as well as descriptions of all the
necessary elements you MUST include. The media have certain
expectations, and you have to send them what they want to see.
News Release Headline Guide
Your news release
is the single most important element that you have to include with
every media kit you send, and believe it or not, coming up with the
right headline is the hardest part of the whole news release. It's
almost the most important part.
If you
can't capture and editor or producer with your headline, your news
release is as good as garbage.
The headline alone is
what may get your story featured, so make sure you get it right.
But, if you're just starting... once you write the first draft...
How can you
be sure your news release is good enough?
Want to be absolutely
positive that your news release is good enough? I bet it would help
you to have a:
Professional
News Release Critique
That's exactly what I'm going to give you.
Just
fax or email your News Release draft directly to me and I will return my honest comments and
suggestions to make it shine and get you the results you need
(I'll give you a special clients-only email address when you order).
I normally charge $150 for this service alone, so this is an
incredible deal, but I want to make sure you get it right. If your
news release isn't effective, your campaign won't be effective.
Let's work together to make sure you get the results you need.
But that's not
all...
I don't want to just give you a
bunch of material and send you off on your own. I want to help
you, one-on-one. That's why in this package I'm giving you:
30 DAYS of unlimited access
to our hotline for consultation to discuss
publicity opportunities and strategies for your book (I normally
bill $150/hour for book publicity consultation). This is DIRECT, UNLIMITED ACCESS

personally help
you customize
publicity strategies specifically for your book.
You will not find this kind of one-on-one
help anywhere else.
