Are you ready to take your career to the next level? The authors at AuthorConf have collectively sold over ten million books. Yes, 10,000,000!
Here is a preview into your journey into mastering success as a professional author:
- The Book is the New Business Card! Entrepreneurs, business coaches, consultants all know that nothing — literally nothing else — establishes credibility and authority like having written a book. Even better, self-published books no longer suffer from the stigma they unfairly suffered for years.You can achieve higher speaking fees, better consulting arrangements, and a more fulfilling career by writing your first book. Would you do business without a business card – why do business without a book?
- Discovering the secrets between the Pros and Amateurs! Writing and successfully publishing a book doesn’t have to be a never-ending thankless exercsie in agony.It is entirely possible to take the secrets of the Pros and publish great books that are read widely, that leave a legacy to your family and friends, and establish you as an expert authority. AuthorConf’s experts show you exactly how.
- Most book marketing today is done by authors, not by publishers! First-time authors are always surprised to learn that publishers expect the authors to do 99% of the heavy-lifting of marketing a book. And if you’re not Oprah Winfrey, book marketing can seem daunting.But book marketing isn’t hard – at all – when you know the latest tips and tricks by AuthorConf’s professional book marketers.
- There is no better time to write a book than right now! This year’s science-fiction movie hit, The Martian, starring Matt Damon started off as a blog-to-book deal. Heard of a mega-hit (and self-published!) 50 Shades of Grey?The tools to self-publish have never been easier to use and more available. AuthorConf speaker James Altucher self-published a very profitable WSJ bestselling book – you can too! What’s more is that traditional publishers are buying self-published hits all the time.
… and SO MUCH MORE.
