As some of you may know I have been doing webinars for the last two months and the feedback has been phenomenal. I thank everyone who registered for the webinar Marketing & Publicity for the author. I have received emails from the attendees and it feels wonderful to know that the information I shared was of value.

I’ve also received tweets, DMs and emails from people who were unable to make the webinar but was curious if there was another way they could receive the information.

And that’s when my wheels got to spinning…

Early in the launch of my company I was very iffy (is that a word? LOL) about eBooks. But I have to honestly say the last ten or so books I’ve personally purchased have been eBooks. I read a lot of business, marketing, social media type books and all of the recent books have been in the form of eBooks. Quite honestly, I see eBooks as being the wave of the future. Have you guys seen the recent article on eBooks outselling hardcovers?

Now here’s what I love about eBooks:

- instant download
- cheaper than a paperback
- quick and concise information, and lastly the bonus;
- minimal cost to produce and publish

I have done three sessions of the Marketing & Publicity for the author workshop. One as a live workshop and two as webinars. What I realize is that webinars are still a relatively new concept for some, others just don’t have the time, and others are looking for another way to receive the information.

So I will continue to do the webinar because frankly I love the interaction! There are people who love having the option of having their questions answered on the spot and enjoy the online classroom vibe. But next week, I will be offering Marketing & Publicity for the author as an eBook. It will be all the same great information in an eBook format at an incredibly low price. You can read it in your leisure time and use it as a reference when developing your marketing plan. This eBook is for anyone who is in the process of writing a book or who’s already released a book.

I’m often asked, well when should I start marketing? And my answer is, “Are you writing now? Then market NOW! For that matter, start marketing BEFORE you write the book!”

Seriously! I’m not kidding.

If you’ve been reading my blog, you already know why marketing is important. If not, then you need to read Marketing – Writers how hungry are you? to find out why marketing is essential to your SUCCESS as an author!

The information I provide in both the webinar and eBook are invaluable tips and secrets that are catered to the author.

So I am working hard to get this eBook to authors looking to secure publicity in major magazines, featured in local newspapers, television interviews and looking to market to the masses.

In the meantime…

If you prefer the online webinar version and have questions that you need answered or tips on how to market a specific title, registration is open for the next webinar on August 5th 7PM CST!

Here’s a recent email I received from an attendee of the live workshop:

Stefanie,

So here’s my question for my dear readers and I really would love your feedback on this. Have you read an eBook? If so, what kind of books have you read? And what types of eBooks would you like to see offered as it relates to authors? Please share in the comment section below.
