A submarine once seemed about as ridiculously impossible as an invisibility cloak seems today. But while technologies like the submarine, bomb, radar and tank once captured the imagination of science fiction authors, science has brought them to the mainstream awareness.

Most of these marketing techniques work for both self-published works and those produced through traditional publishers. It doesn’t matter!

You’ll get the 21 best, cheapest and quickest marketing ideas that helped Elaine sell over 80,000 self-published books. Elaine is the first to say that if she can do it, anyone can do it! She has learned everything “from scratch” and passes along what worked so you can shorten your learning curve.

You will learn:
• how to sell in case lots to the markets in which you specialize.
• how to analyze the buying patterns of your specific markets to know exactly when to promote to them.

• how to analyze your niche to sell books/products in large quantities at a time.
• ideas that are easy to understand, simple to implement and cost-effective.

Plus: You’ll receive a complete downloadable list of the resources used for all ideas in the session, including photos of some of the marketing pieces demonstrated.
