http://www.yourbookisyourhook.com/marketitnow - Writing the book was the easy part. To get it published and make it profitable, you have to treat it like a business.

I’m Jennifer S. Wilkov, the popular radio show host of the #1 show on WomensRadio called “Your Book Is Your Hook!”

Today I want to share with you the 4 facts you need to know when you work with your project as well as a literary agent, publisher and publicist.

1) Before you ever publish your book, you’re going to need a HOOK.

2) Before an agent or publisher will look at your book, you’re going to need a PLATFORM.

3) Before you can become a BESTSELLER, you have to master the art of marketing your book and take 100% responsibility for marketing it.

4) Before you go out into the market with your project, you’re going to need a solid strategic PLAN.

If you have real questions about marketing your book project and what to do next…

If you don’t know what a “platform” is or how to effectively build one for your book…

This is your opportunity to work with a professional who has done it all.

I’m currently on an international tour for my 5th book. We work with companies whose names you know doing workshops and live events in places like Saks Fifth Avenue, Porsche, Barnes & Noble and Beaches Resorts by Sandals in Turks & Caicos in the BFF Girls Getaway Program.

I’m taking time out right now to offer you a special training to help you hands-on with building the marketing plan for your book where you’ll:

• Write the hooks for your book
• Determine the right audiences for it
• Market it online using social media and the Internet
• Promote it offline & what to do in person

The truth is everybody wants to have a marketing plan that works.

In reality — getting it done, getting it into the marketplace, attracting attention and growing interest in your book and business can take years.

This is NOT a PitchFest.

This is a real opportunity to build your plan with a professional who does it herself.

I only take time out to teach this hands-on training once a year and it’s limited to just 24 authors. I’m even going to review your hooks myself and give you direct input and feedback. I’m also going to speak with you directly 1:1 during the training to consult with you about your own project and plan.

This training starts on Monday night, July 26th.

Early registration discounts will end on July 1st.
When you register with a partner, you’ll get an even better deal.

All trainings are delivered via teleconference so you can participate from the comfort of your home or office. There’s no travel required for this training.

Simplify it all for yourself.

Get serious about streamlining your own marketing platform with this POWERHOUSE TRAINING.

See you in the first training session on July 26th.

http://yourbookisyourhook.com — Beth Kallman Werner will talk with radio personality and host Jennifer S. Wilkov about what a book review is, why it is a great resource to have in an author’s marketing kit and when to submit for one. She’ll also reveal how self-published authors can get a review as well as how they and traditionally published authors can use a review to revive a title’s sales and interest. Ms. Werner will also discuss how to turn a potentially negative review into a positive asset for a book and its author.

Bestselling author Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, who is internationally acclaimed, named by “Psychology Today” as one of America’s best therapists, and by “New York Magazine” as one of New York City’s best therapists, joins radio personality and host Jennifer S. Wilkov to share her updated edition of “Make Up Don’t Break Up” in a candid interview that reveals Dr. Weil’s own experience with growing up with adultery in her childhood home and how that has provided so many insights for her to help couples everywhere to survive adultery.

Dr. Bonnie, a 5-time “Oprah!” guest, will talk about why social media could be killing the romance in your relationship, why women should make the first move and why couples should break up to test their relationship’s staying power. She will also discuss why she updated this book and how she is using it as her hook.
