I'm wondering - did you decide to put this up hardcopy from the get or did you do a digital and convert it to hard copy?

It started as a ebook on Clickbank. I talked about how it all happen on Willie's radio show recently:

No exclusive, but HSN hasn't been as responsive as QVC to this point. They usually don't like to follow one another with their programming.

No, that ticker is the real count. It would be false advertising if it wasn't. The FTC is watching them 24/7. They've been fined many times before. I met with their legal team and they are super cautious and even paranoid.

They started out with 1,600 books in inventory and literally had nothing left after that segment. There were still hundreds of people calling in. You'll notice the "Sold Out" notice that pops up on the screen towards the end. You couldn't even buy it on their website after that.

Wow!

I talked with a senior Warrior last night on Skype and asked him why he
doesn't post here on the forum much any more. His reply floored me.

Warriors, It's disturbing when you see someone like Ron sharing his
success story which included verifiable proof, only to see his thread
fall to the bottom of the forum?

Ron not only has achieved what most Warriors dream about but, also has
posted his story along the way. Where is the Love?

I ask you to just think about what you really want out of this forum?
Please don't chase Ron off too.

Have a Great Day!

Congratulations!

Anyway for some warriors here who are interested in media publicity...

I think Drew Gerber is the man to turn to... check his website Publicity Results!:Welcome to Publicity Results!! and sign up for his free newsletter where he will give you an email pitch that landed one of his clients on the Dr Phil show. You can copy the email, tweak it a little. Plus he will give a few of his best secrets away for free!

I definitely would take advantage of this... again Publicity Results!:Welcome to Publicity Results!!

Great job, Ron!

I never should have entered this post right before dinner. You've definitely peaked my interest!

Is the digital version of this book still available? Can you tell us where we can find it?

Thanks,

Ron

mrdomains · 11-18-2009, 05:54 PM

Congratulations Ron!
You did well in the studio - that can be hard but you come through as relaxed and credible. Good job!

I think your presence sold as many books on that show as did the HOT host!

W9-Matt · 11-18-2009, 06:56 PM

Wow, wish I was as lucky haha!
Well done..

Cookbooks are a pretty good market! My Grandmother just authored a cookbook of old family recipes and invited all of our friends and relatives to submit a recipe or two each. She's been boosting them like hotcakes, I'd have never believed it.

Mr. Douglas, I send my grats to you! You have to be very proud of your accomplishments. I would be.

chachachallis · 11-25-2009, 03:28 PM

Congrats fantastic job done

I like the counter at the bottom. That's how it should look like!!

It really all comes down to people making decisions that affect other people's lives. The people making decisions are usually motivated by money. If you have a proven way for them to make more money, it's just a matter of getting it in front of them. If you can't do it yourself, you can find the person who can (publicist, agent, jv broker, etc).

The hard part is really coming up with the proven idea. Many Warriors already have. Once you do that, everything else is a lot easier. The opportunities for exposure are there if you go after it.

Thanks Ron I really appreciate that.

I always recommend to try and get published at some point because it is very advantageous for many reasons. (Like selling higher ticket items)

And I hope it really opens some eyes.

Remember guys there are even books about people who wrote successful books or did extraordinary things and those books can be just as successful....just be a little creative.
