Need YOUR Contribution for New (Paperback) Book

8 replies
Dear copywriters,

if any of you got time, I'd like some help on a new book I'm writing. Actually, I need you to contribute a chapter. In return, you get a full page to put your profile on, in the back of the book. This may include your url, phone number and sales pitch.

The book will be launched as a digital download and also as a paperback at Amazon with the EDC upgrade. This means other online and offline retailers may put the book on their shelves as well. (Imagine having your name and profile in a book available at Barnes & Noble!)

Currently I'm open to all contributions relating to copywriting, NLP and in-person sales techniques.

When interested, send me a PM or add me on Skype!

Thanks in advance.

    It's too bad I don't have a product or a list to market to at the end of your book. I know a ton on NLP.

      Ross,

      Quick solution - turn that ton of NLP knowledge into a book/report.

      It'll take you about a day.

      Or better yet, create an 5 day email course set up by autoresponder. They just sign up on your page and you'll send them a new NLP tip over the next 5 days.

      And now, you've also got them on your blog. Use the blog to keep building value.

      You can also pick up any book by Dan Kennedy and see how he does it. When he's got you - he's got you.

      Point is, amigo... don't let something so small and simple stand in the way of such a strong credibility building tactic like being published.

      Regards,

      Angel

        That's actually a really good idea, I have to say I'm just not getting my head around the whole driving traffic yet. I guess I could just start a free WSO or even start a thread perhaps here.

        The biggest thing holding me back is the whole "traffic" thing, since so many people use so many different techniques. I can create video, podcast, pdfs, you name it. Maybe I should just start doing that!

        Thanks for the great advice, I really wish I was caught up enough to do this, it sounds very interesting and definitely would be nice to share with my family since they all just think I'm just a crazy person for the amount of time I spend on the computer.

        The fact is, I'm actually a network engineer, I really just started getting into this back in July but everyday I learn a little more. I just like the challenge I guess, like Richard Bandler said, it's in his nature to want to prove people wrong, just because they said he couldn't do something. That's why I'm so fascinated by NLP.That's me, nobody really thought it'd be possible, but here I am, still chugging along.

          Who said most copywriters and marketers are sane?

          In my experience, we're all a bit loopy.

          Best,

          Angel

      Hey Ross,

      you're always welcome to promote yourself and your copywriting services, or whatever you can think of.

      If you want, I can even help you get started on something.
