Here is today's Book Marketing Minute #13: Give books away --or-- how I made $100,000 giving away a book.
Today's read time is 1 minute, 19 seconds. Ready, set, go!
You might not like the idea of giving your book away. I mean, you spent $12,000 (give or take) and hundreds of hours producing a quality business asset. You expect to get a return on that investment, and you should.
But it doesn't always come from where you think. And you might not be thinking big enough. (Yet.)
I carry a book in my purse and have a box in my car. More than one hundred times over the past eighteen years I've had occasion to gift a book, one that created a connection and sometimes even a client.
On one occasion, I was just being friendly. I saw a couple looking around and I asked them if they were looking for a place to eat. Short story long, I had just come from my friend's bakery and was on the lookout for prospective pie eaters. They looked like the kind of folks who would enjoy some great pie. Turns out I wasn't wrong.

Anyway, they said "Yes!" and we got to talking. They asked me what I did. I told them I help professionals become authors, gave them a book (You Must Write a Book) and eighteen months later, the husband of the couple became an author.
You might wonder if it is that simple. Just give a book away, get a new client. Yes, happens to me all the time, and (I know you were waiting for it) it happens to students in my Book Marketing Mastery Course because they have a solid Book Marketing Action Plan. You'll learn hundreds of ways to turn your book into the income and impact you had in mind when you wrote it. The sooner you get on top of your book marketing, the sooner you'll reap the rewards. Get it here.
Oh, and remember to give away your book today! :-) I'll see you tomorrow.
