Using Your Book To Create Marketing as a Professional

We’ve talked about the expert status you get when you are referred to as the author of a book.

Authors that speak get higher fees (one client recently reported a 500% increase in his speaking fees since his book came out) and entrepreneurs tell me they get more lead of a higher quality when prospect read their book.

5608Now we are seeing an attorney go from successful practice to nationally known expert. Alexis Martin Neely, author of “Wear Clean Underwear” is being interviewed on radio and TV and dozens of blogs and podcasts.

Legal Marketing pro Dennis Kunkler calls the the “catagory of one” on his Grow My Law Firm blog

“..this book is an “ultimate business card.” Who would not want this woman representing their family? Hiring her has nothing to do with the firm she works at, who her associates are, where she went to school or what organizations she belongs to. Alexis Martin Neely has created a “category of one.” If she were in your marketplace competing in the “Family Law” arena, all she would need to do is promote her book or somehow get it into her prospective clients’ hands.”

Does Your Book Contain “The Secret” – The “Book of All Knowledge” Reveled

I’ve been following Essential of Trading author John Forman’s excellent blog about his book, investing and human nature.

His post last week, The Secret to Trading Success is something that every author should read (whether you trade stocks or not)

John talks about the quest for a secret, and references a story where the hero searches for The Book or All Knowledge

There are two lessons for authors and their book marketing:

  1. Have a plan. But never stop learning. Make sure you track and repeat the tactics that work for you
  2. Assume that your readers are looking for “The Secret”.. never lie to them, but assume that they will be attracted in this way.

If you do invest or trade, you’ll find clear advice from John Forman. If not, read the blog post and replace “trading” with “book marketing”

The advice is the secret to book marketing success
