My Story ...
One year ago, I decided to sign up for what seemed like an interesting call.
It was on something called "Virtual Book Tour Systems." I didn't really know what that was, exactly, but a friend highly recommended Alex Mandossian, and it was about helping authors sell books, and I am an author, so I thought, "Why not? I get a $79 discount, it's only $20, and Alex Mandossian says if I don't think it's worth it, I can get my money back."
So I listened to the Virtual Book Tour Systems Preview call, which turned out to be 4 hours long! And I stayed on every second of it, taking copious notes.
The next day, Friday, I received a letter from my publisher saying my book,Abundant Gifts, was going out of print.
Could Alex Mandossian help me do something with a book that was going out of print?
I found out the next day, when I got in on a "strategy call" for those who were considering taking Virtual Book Tour Systems, but were not sure.
On that call, Alex personally coached me through a strategy to do a special "going out of print" VBT for my book.
Which I did, after taking the course so I knew what I was doing! I did sell 126 books in 6 days from that, my first, VBT. (You can listen to that interview here.)
By the way, when you take Virtual Book Tour Systems course, one of the best things is the QA sessions, in which you get to ask Alex your particular question, and get what amounts to his coaching. It's even better than that, because you also get to hear him coach other students. It's a truly amazing, rich time.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Finding New Hope as an Author ...
Before the Preview Call for Virtual Book Tour Systems, I knew that the publishing model currently practiced is seriously flawed, if not downright broken. I've written about it often on my blog. In the Preview Call, however, I discovered there are answers.
Alex Mandossian is creating some new models, not only for marketing, but even for writing books.
You will learn that YOU are the message, not your book. You will learn the almost magic ATS formula for connecting with your audience. You will learn how to create other information products from your book content (if you've already written it), or create information products that are much more profitable than books.
And much more.
Virtual Book Tour Systems has changed me forever as an author. I will never again write a book the way I used to, the "old era" way. That's when you come up with an idea, convince a publisher to publish the book, and then figure out how to market it. That way no longer works anyway, for anyone. Traditional publishers won't publish you if you don't know and already have your market, and if you self-publish this "old era" way, I can almost guarantee you'll end up with a garage or basement full of unsold books--that you've paid thousands of dollars to print.
If you're an author or aspiring author, I want you to do right now is three simple things:
1. Sign up to receive your custom author marketing profile.
This is the beginning of your training with Alex Mandossian--and it's free! You will not only receive the custom profile, based on your answers to 7 questions, but you'll receive links to training videos. For instance, the first one answers these two critical questions:
Q1: "What's the PROMISE of your book or information product?"
Q2: "Why is it so critical to think of the PURPOSE of your book or info product before you start your marketing plan?"
It's easy, quick, and free, so get the author marketing profile now.
2. Sign up for the Preview Call. Though the live call is past and the registration for this year's course is closed, you can still get more than 2 hours of quality training from the replay. Use my VIP discount that will give you $79 off. (Only $20 for this training, which you will be able to access forever via the replay which you will be eligible for.)
Truly, you could listen to this Preview Call and begin doing successful Virtual Book Tours, because Alex does not hold back. His Preview Calls are content-rich. I almost didn't sign up for the whole course last year because I thought I could probably take what I learned from that one Preview Call and run with it. (You also get the transcript, I believe, plus Alex's own notes on the accompanying Study Guide.)
The reason I signed up for "the whole enchilada" was the bonuses--and for the QA sessions. Once I experienced Alex's "coaching" in the strategy call, I knew it would be the best investment in contiuing education I'd ever made.
I was not wrong.
So sign up for the Preview Call, take great notes, and even if the whole course is not right for you at this time, it will be the best $20 you've spent on training.
One more thought: Even if you don't have a book (yet), Virtual Book Tour Systems can open up a new career for you as an interviewer. By interviewing other experts in your field, you enhance your own status by proxy (not to mention that you can be creating a book or other information product from your interviews).
In fact, this is exactly what Alex hinself did when he invented Virtual Book Tour Systems!
That was one of the results I experienced. Because I've always been involved in interviewing authors throughout my publishing career, it was a natural to start conducting Virtual Book Tours myself, for both individuals and publishers. (Here's a link to one in which we received more than 700 questions for the authors, from all over the globe.)
If you like to interview other people, taking Virtual Book Tour Systems can open a whole new career for you.
You will also learn how to create other information products besides books in your area of expertise.
For instance, I created a telecourse called "How to Choose Your Bestselling Title" from what I learned from the Teleseminar module. So many students had questions about titling their book--which Alex does talk about--that it caused me to do some research and testing of new techniques for coming up with a title that will sell your book on title alone. Alex has asked me to teach a piece of that course in Module 3. (In a minute, I'll tell you how you can get the whole "How to Choose Your Bestselling Title" course--free!)
That's one of the things you'll learn from Alex: how to create and "repurpose" content faster, better, and more profitably than you thought possible.
And it will start with the Preview Call training. So sign up for that.
**Bonus for Those Who Sign Up for the Virtual Book Tour Systems Preview Call**

In the QA sessions that Alex holds after each teaching part of Virtual Book Tour Systems, some of the most-asked questions concerned coming up with winning book titles.

When you check out all that Alex offers--worth more than $13,749--I think you will see that this will probably be the best investment you've made for your continuing education in a long time.
It was for me. In short time, I more than made back my investment, and then went on to multiply many times over that initial investment.

You will probably still have questions after the Virtual Book Tour Systems course is over, and you've had a chance to digest some of the material.
To help you process the course and apply it to your particular needs, we'll schedule a follow-up strategy call one month and two months after VBTS ends. Each call will be approximately 60 minutes in length, depending on the number of questions.
You'll have the opportunity to ask questions before and during the Strategy sessions. At this time, also, if you need help with your title and subtitle, we can discuss that as well. This will customize the what you learn from Alex to your particular situation, so you know exactly what to do next to create and market your knowledge in the most profitable way possible.

My podcast was downloaded 45,151 times in April 2008 and the number of subscribers is increasing by 25 percent every month. The Yaktivate network gets 3.2 million downloads per month, and each channel cross-promotes the others.
I have interviewed bestselling authors such as William P. Young, author of the publishing phenonmenon The Shack (a self-published book that sold more than 800,000 copies in its first year); publishing veteran and bestselling author Rick Frishman; the coauthor of the blockbuster (and controversial) Pagan Christianity? Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices. Coming up is the writer of the New York Times bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven.
Your interview can be included in this stellar lineup.
I also post my podcasts on my Your Book Publishing Coach blog and, if appropriate, my Abundant Gifts blog.
All this means great exposure for you, and traffic to your web site. It could well launch your book and career--especially is you actually DO what Alex and I will teach you.
Value: Could be in the thousands or even more, as people are exposed to your message who would not otherwise hear of you ... and come into your world to buy whatever you have to offer them.
I want my Virtual Book Tour Systems training along with the $15,700 worth of bonuses!
If you feel a little nudge toward this opportunity, I urge you not to ignore it. Check out Alex Mandossian's training, starting with the free custom analysis. Test him out for yourself. What have you got to lose?
One important note: You may be hearing about this course from other people as well. The only way you can receive my bonuses is if you sign up for the Preview Call with this link, and the whole course with this link. Otherwise, I will not be able to track your registration.
I hope our paths will cross (as Alex says) sometime soon through Virtual Book Tour Systems, Choosing Your Bestselling Title, and a personal interview on my Books 'n' Such show.
To your success,
Diane
