That’s why I want you to listen to a different class this week other than my Publishing Coach Weekly teleseminar.

I am working on something exciting that will show you how to create a global audience for your message.

I’ll tell you about that soon enough, but in the meantime, I want you to take the Podcast Secrets Preview training on Thursday evening.

This 2-hour training is going to lay a foundation I want you to have for when I show you how to create a global audience.

It will give you some steps, upon which I’ll show you how to build an author platform, for being “well heard and well paid

for what you know and love to do.”

It is 2 hours (maybe longer, knowing Alex Mandossian), it is taught by Alex and Paul Colligan, and it will cost you $20 with the VIP discount I obtained for you.

If you can’t make the live training, you will be able to listen to the recording within 24 hours. And you will have that recording, and your notes from the Action Guide, to refer to forever.

As I said in my recent blog post, podcasting may be one of the easiest and fastest ways to establish your author platform.

Author platform is what will allow you to be well heard and well paid.

Audio and video are increasingly effective and popular.

Knowing how to use these venues will give you the edge in getting your message out there.

And I know no one better to teach you than Alex and Paul. I took Podcast Secrets last year, and will attend it this year with video in mind as well. (My most recent foray into that will be posted at www.abundantgiftsblog.com as soon as I can get to it, assuming technology works as it should.)

I hope you will take advantage of this training. (Yes, it is a preview of the entire Podcast Secrets course, but the way they do preview calls, you will get a lot of valid training out of the preview itself–or you get your money back.)

I hope you will avail yourself of this important step toward becoming well heard and well paid.

Imagine people flocking to your website to sign up for your newsletter.

Imagine orders coming in for your book every day. (Or leads for your business, or sales, or …)

All because you learned how to do what may be the quickest way to establish an audience: start a podcast. (You’re probably familiar with what a podcast is by now, but in case you’re not, read my article, “What is a Podcast and Why Would an Author Want to Podcast?”)

A podcast is a great way for authors or aspiring authors to create that all-important

“platform.”

With a podcast, you can reach a lot of people, and you can measure how many people download your podcast. This allows you to know the factors that go into that “platform” that publishers look for: number of people reached, over time.

If you can say that 30,000 people download your podcast every month, that’s a pretty impressive platform.

Publishers may well take notice. The first thing they ask me, when I approach them about a client’s book idea, is, “What’s their platform?”

In fact, podcasting may be THE easiest way for an author to build a strong platform.

But how do you get going?

Glad you asked!

This coming Thursday, Paul Colligan and Alex Mandossian are going to teach you how to get started in the Podcast Secrets Preview Call. You can access it at www.podcastsecretspreview.com.

I took the Podcast Secrets course last year, and I can tell you, it’s excellent.

One of the things they teach you, right from the start, is how to monetize your podcast.

In fact, I took Podcast Secrets because I had just started a podcast.

The course showed me that, in fact, what I was doing was not monetized correctly for my business. Had I not taken Podcast Secrets, I would have continued pouring time into something that was fun, but not profitable.

I now know how to make it worth my time.

And you will, too, if you take this training.

I got a $79 discount on your tuition, so you only pay $20.

That’s $10/hour for training that you will be able to go back to again and again-you get the replay within 24 hours, so even if you can’t listen in live, you will gain the benefits.

If you’re technologically challenged, no worry. One of the things I liked best was that it’s very step by step.

I was just looking over my notes from last year’s Preview Call. Here’s some of what was covered:

• 8 reasons for creating a podcast
• 7 ways to make money from your podcast
• How to produce podcast content quickly and easily
• Where to find the time to podcast
• How to get your podcast promoted by Apple
• How to get others to listen to your podcast
• How to find out who your audience is, so you can better serve them
• How to tell if your podcast is worth your effort
• How to get your podcast listeners to take the action you desire (sign up for your list, buy your book, etc.)
• What makes a podcast listener buy?
• . . . and more (Alex is famous for overdelivering)

I believe this will be well worth your small investment of time and money. I secured you a special $79 discount. Use the code PC916 when you get to the web page, so that you only pay $20 instead of the $99. (Though I think what you’ll learn will be worth $99. I know–I took it!)
