Restore Email Sanity, Learn New Era Publishing Strategies for Getting a Publisher

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

On the June 30 Publishing Coach Weekly teleseminar, I have a “double header” for you. (Time: 1pm Eastern, noon Central, 10am Pacific. More details here.)

1. Specific tips for “taming the email beast” and restoring email sanity from time management expert, Randall Dean.

I’m going to confess just how many emails are sitting in my email inbox–or rather, were, before I learned Randy Dean’s email strategies.

Find out how to go from hundreds of unread emails (or more!) to zero … how to drastically cut down the time you spend on email … how to keep email from usurping personal and work time … and more.

You even get to ask Randall your question, now and during the call.

There will also be a special offer just for listeners of this call. (But you’ll get a lot out of it even if you don’t take advantage of that, so listen in-and tell your friends and colleagues!)

Just go here: http://www.wordstoprofit.com/tamingemailbeast.com.

2. Randall is the author of two books, including (surprise) Taming the Email Beast: 45 Key Strategies for Better Managing Your Email Overload. His publishing story is quite interesting—and will provide hope to authors who aspire to get published by a traditional publisher. We’ll talk about the “new era publishing” strategies he’s used and is using to get published and to promote his book and other products.

Randall also recently conducted an amazon.com campaign to launch the book. Find out what it takes to do that.

You can listen either via phone (there are a number of local call-in numbers available now!) or via webcast, on the computer. Click here now for the call-in details and to ask a question.The call will be recorded and archived, so if you’re reading this “after the fact,” you can still listen at your leisure. But you can’t ask us questions about either topic live, so ask now and/or on the call!

Friday, May 8th, 2009

“What is the most cost effective way to develop a global audience?” Star asked. (To ask your question about writing, publishing, or promoting your book or information product, go here.)

Aside from taking the “Develop Your Audience” class (which you can still do, it’s all recorded–hint hint <g>), the best way is to start a blog and then point to that through the MPOW technique, developed by Internet marketing expert, Bonnie Dillabough. (Bonnie’s techniques snag more than a quarter of a million hits on her Yaktivate.com podcasting network–per month You can attend her Internet marketing classes for free on Saturdays; details here.)

Did you know that the older a boy gets, the more he needs from those who love him?

If you have a boy in your life (son, grandson, nephew, student, someone you’re mentoring), find out why boys are the way they are and how you can come alongside them at any age to help them navigate the choppy waters of the journey to manhood.

Listen to the replay of the Virtual Book Tour with authors Stephen James and David Thomas as they answered questions submitted at www.answersforparentingboys.com. (You can also submit your question; authors will be answering them on their blog.) Find out:

  • why it’s so hard for boys to “sit still and pay attention”–and how to help them learn anyway
  • what the 5 stages of a boy’s development and what they need in each stage
  • how do we deal with a boy’s emotions (anger, crying, etc.)?
  • how do you get a boy to obey?

And much more! Listen and learn how to better nurture the boy in your life.

Virtual Book Tour on The Art of Nurturing Boys–Invitation

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys by Stephen James and David ThomasIf you have a boy in your life that you care about (son, grandson, students, boys on a team you coach, etc.), you will want to listen in on a fascinating discussion I’m having next week with Stephen James and David Thomas about “Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys.”

The best part is–you get to ask the questions!

If you go to http://www.answersforparentingboys.com you can ask the authors about your most challenging issue with raising boys.

After you ask your question (or if you just want to sign up, say “none,”), you’ll have access to a quick video of the authors sharing a bit about what prompted them to write this new, practical, and insightful book that will help you understand, appreciate, and better mentor the boys in your life.

The live Virtual Book Tour–where I ask the authors questions submitted at that web site–will take place next Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 5 pm Pacific/6 Mountain/7 Central/8 Eastern.

So please mark your calendar and plan to listen in. You can listen via phone (normal long-distance charges apply) or via computer by clicking on a webcast player (no cost).

You’ll get all the details when you sign up here. (If you’re reading this after Feb. 3, 2009, you can still ask your question and listen to the replay afterward.)

Even if the boy in your life is older–say in his teens or 20s–there will still be plenty for you as well. That’s one of the unique aspects of this book: It shows why and how males need to be nurtured way past childhood.

I hope our paths cross next week for what will no doubt be a lively discussion that will provide fresh insights, encouragement and guidance as you come alongside the boys you care about.

Unleash Your Leadership Potential (Authors are Leaders, Remember?)

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Just a quick reminder: On Tuesday night, October 28, I will be interviewing Nancy Ortberg in a Virtual Book Tour to discuss her book, Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership.

The cool thing is, you get to ask Nancy a question ahead of time! Just go to http://www.asknancyortberg.com and you’ll get to sign up, ask a question (or not), get the call-in details and see how these Virtual Book Tours work! You’ll also be able to download the first two chapters of Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership free when you sign up, so you can get a taste of the book right away.

I recently sent Nancy’s book to Seth Godin, author of Tribes, another inspiring book about leadership. The other day he wrote back to thank me, and said he’d already bought a copy right before my book came. (I told him I’d send him a book for commenting on my blog, but didn’t tell him which one.)

So–Seth Godin thinks Nancy Ortberg is worth reading, and you will, too! It’s a terrific book. Great stories and insights. Make sure you get a copy, and if you can, listen to the Virtual Book Tour. If you can’t make the live event, you can always listen to the replay. You’ll get the link when you sign up.

(And you too will get a free book if you comment on my blog.)

Authors are Leaders–Unleash Your Leadership Potential

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

If you’re an author or aspiring author, have you ever considered that you are a leader? As I mentioned in my recent Publishing Coach Weekly article, the real job of a successful author is to lead. Lead people toward your vision, lead people to interact with your ideas and do something about them.

Since you’re already a leader (author means authority), I believe you will be interested in attending the Virtual Book Tour with Nancy Ortberg next Tuesday evening. I’ll be asking Nancy Ortberg YOUR questions on leadership and how to unleash leadership potential in yourself or others.  We have dozens of questions already from all over the world!

I believe Nancy Ortberg’s “lessons in non-linear leadership” will inspire you. Nancy is a great storyteller as well, and I’ll be asking her to share some of her great stories during our interview. Storytelling is also something all authors need to do well–another benefit you will glean from listening to this VBT.

Nancy’s book is called Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands and you’ll get a free sample chapter when you sign up for the Virtual Book Tour at http://www.asknancyortberg.com. Even if you don’t have a question, or can’t make the live call next Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. Eastern, you’ll get the link to the replay afterward to listen to at your convenience.

Great Blog: Writer Beware!

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

One of my passions is to warn you of people, companies and products to avoid because they are scams.

There are lots of people who prey on the desire that so many of us have–to get our ideas out of our hearts and heads and into the world. Usually via a book (although, I keep trying to say, there are now many other ways of getting our messages out).

Anyway, I just discovered a great new blog, and of course, I just linked to it. It’s called Writer Beware. These wonderful folks are doing a great service, pointing out scams and intelligently showing why they are scams.

Bravo to Victoria Strauss, Richard White, and A.C. Crispin for a great-looking blog that provides a valuable service. Do check them out.
