From the Desk of Felicia Slattery, Best-Selling Author, Professional Speaker, and Speaker Trainer

Dear Expert Friend:

It feels almost like a Catch-22.

Oftentimes as authors we are bombarded with a zillion suggestions from well-meaning marketing folks. Authors tend to be new when it comes to marketing (and maybe even writing) a book, and it’s natural to want to try most of the fun ideas. What I found, however, is that many of those highly-touted things flat out don’t work for most new non-fiction authors. So how are we supposed to sell more books?

Do you really need a publicist, for instance? What about all those press releases that cost a lot of money? Here’s a secret from my PR pro insider pal — back when Oprah was on TV daily, not even the non-fiction authors who got on her show as guest experts sold even close to just 10,000 books with their appearance. And that was in front of Oprah’s millions of audience members just waiting for her to tell them what to buy next. (Because the secret is, she wasn’t telling her audience to buy any specific non-fiction books like she did with her Book Club, which was all fiction-based). So if the juggernaut that was The Oprah Show wasn’t a good tool for marketing your book… what is?

It’s sad authors invest in the many courses on marketing your book which offer bunches of expensive marketing techniques that turn out to be a huge waste of time and money. And worse, leave you confused about how to get it all DONE and taken care of.

All of this could leave you feeling:
• Frustrated that you’re working and working and just not getting ahead.
• Overwhelmed with all the “must do” options and not sure where to begin and what to do next with ANY of them.
• Lonely because there’s no one in your “real” life who’s ever done something like this and you have no one to turn to for guidance, advice, and a helping hand.

Many authors don’t realize it, but whether you’re a self-published author or going a more traditional route, the dirty little secret of the publishing world is that YOU are responsible for marketing and advertising your book. The buck stops with you. And even if you have a publisher, remember, as the author it’s your ultimate responsibility to make sure your message gets out to the people who most need to know it to improve their lives.

Listen, some publishers will promise you the world when it comes to book promotion and they will deliver what they can–but you cannot sit back and wait for your book to hit the bestsellers list: you must work the promotion game for yourself.

And if you’re going the route of self-publishing, which is smart for first-time authors, you can save a lot of money by being smart about marketing your book too.

Today authors need to be in charge of their own destiny. Even if you’re signed with a large publishing firm, you still need to be active in marketing your book. And this includes preparing a marketing plan – with speaking as the cornerstone – from even before the book is published.

Here are the types of speaking you can use to market your book:
Book signings
Teleseminars
Webinars
Interviews for print and online articles
Radio and TV interviews
Keynote speeches
Book clubs
Training programs
Book readings

What if you had just ONE tool that you KNEW could work? And what if you had everything you needed to know about that ONE tool gathered together for you in one place, laid out in an easy-to-follow step-by-step formula that gave you time and space to IMPLEMENT right then and there so you could get it all done? And what if you could do it FAST- like in 2 days fast? You’d sell more books, that’s what!

That’s exactly what using your Signature Speech (TM) for your book can help you do.

You see… as an author like you, I’ve been through this myself. I know what’s required and I discovered what it takes to deliver a speech that will sell out your books at the back of the room (I’ve done it myself time and again!).

A successful launch day is fun, for sure, but it’s the sales that keep coming, day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year that bring you a steady stream of new, warm leads into your business and help you sell more products and services for more and more money.

See, I’ve done this before. But not only that, I AM DOING IT NOW for my own book. The one question you always want to ask anyone before you plunk down your hard-earned cash is, “Are you doing what you’re teaching right now, yourself today?” And if they are not, then you need to ask yourself, if their system is so fantabulous, why aren’t they using it themselves??

That’s the problem I see with many of the so-called speaker trainers and book coaches out there. Sure, maybe 5 or 10 or 15 (!) years ago they wrote a book or delivered a speech about their book, but all their riches NOW come from teaching other people on a wing and prayer that their possibly outdated system and information can still maybe work for some people today. Don’t be sucked in by the glitz and the hype.

What’s worse is, there are even some folks teaching outdated information who simply and sadly just don’t care about their customers. Only their customers’ cash. And if you don’t get anything done or don’t make any money on it, then too bad so sad for you. Thanks for your moola. I hope you haven’t been taken in by anyone like that. I confess, I have been ripped off myself. It’s not fun.
I don’t do business like that. And in fact, if you’re not happy, I work with you until you ARE happy!

So to answer the question am I doing this now, not only have I sold out of books at the back of the room after delivering my own Signature Speech (TM) for years, the FIRST TIME I delivered a brand new speech for my Kill the Elevator Speech book (in fact I was on script even!) I sold books that do not yet exist because the book is not yet fully written. I have an image of the cover, but I used the speech and my audience interaction to propel myself into writing the book! After delivering the speech, less than a week later I had double the content than I did before delivering the speech. So in essence I have people PAYING ME to write my book, excitedly waiting for the book to be done. (I’ll show you how to do that too!)

In February 2012, I launched my last book and before Noon on launch day it was an Amazon best-seller in 5 categories and stayed #1 in several of those categories for over a week. I made several thousand dollars from that book launch, not from the sales of the book, but from what I did AFTER — and I used speaking to do it.

Beyond doing this for myself, I am the creator of the original trade-marked (actually service marked) Signature Speech (TM) Mastery Program where I have taught thousands of experts and entrepreneurs since 2007 around the world how to put together a speech to market a service-oriented business.

Before that I was a speech and communication teacher at some of the most prestigious institutions in the Chicago area, having taught and coached thousands of students in more than a decade of direct hands-on work. I’ve helped students outline complete 5-10 minute speeches in about 20 minutes flat. And that’s how I know I can help you too.

We’ll meet by phone and run the entire 2 days of the program virtually, so you can be in your comfortable and familiar work space, getting it done. What you’re getting is a unique, easy-to-follow 5-Step System for creating your Signature Speech(TM). And this is what you’ll discover.  Organization and Content Planning AND Implementation:

We’ll talk about specific issues such as:
How to craft your book and your speech so they easily “go” together.
The differences between your book and your speech content and how to integrate both seamlessly into the other so your audiences want to buy your book and your readers want to hear you speak.
How to write your speech first and how to make the book flow from that.
How to get the book written QUICKLY and make money after you’ve created and delivered your speech.
Adding your specific process, information, or other content that makes your book and speech UNIQUE and stand out in the marketplace.
6 Ways to stand out in the marketplace and be UNIQUE in a noisy world.
the 3 crucial elements you MUST understand about your audience before you even get started preparing one word.

Delivery Planning:
PowerPoint or no PowerPoint — that is the question (and it will be answered!).
How to use and incorporate props for fun and audience engagement.
Exactly how to start your speech off with a bang! We’re talking the mother of all attention-getters here, not some lame-o “Who wants to make more money” malarkey.
Figuring out Plan B and how to handle problems that arise moments before you speak and while you might even be on stage. You’ll be cool as a cucumber when the inevitable problems arise because you’ll have a plan.
What to do and say to engage the audience and keep them interested and on the edge of their seats throughout your presentation.
Eliminating your stage fright so you can get your message out there. I promise, by the end of this program you will magically feel exponentially more confident in speaking about your book.
How to give your speech the biggest possible impact – including in the room AND beyond.

Marketing Planning:
How to make money on your book before it is ever written.
3 crucial elements you MUST understand about your audience before you even get started preparing one word.
How to make money on your book after it is written, no matter how long it’s been published, and even without a list of buyers.
How understanding your market, both readers and ideal clients will get you to faster income and a specific plan to get that done quickly.
Opportunities to sell your book by the hundreds or more in ways you never even imagined.
How to seed the sale of your book and other products and services throughout your speech without coming off as a pushy, manipulative sales person.
Title creativity: how to come up with a winning title that intrigues and sells the book and the speech. (Note: the speech title and book title can be the same or different. We’ll discuss how and why so you know what is best for YOU!).
The simple strategy you can use to make 2 sales to the same person with 1 book by delivering your speech before your book is ever written.
How to get sponsors for your book, book tour, book launch, speaking engagements and more using my top tips to get sponsors with money to say YES to you!

You might be wondering at this point how Signature Speech(TM) for Authors is different than my original Signature Speech (TM) program. I mean, lots of online marketers take their same old tried-and-true stuff and simply repackage it as something else. While there is some overlap on basic speaking techniques and getting past the fear, THIS program represents about 85% entirely new content (because really speech basics are important!) and:
…is specifically about you as an author.
…helps you put together a speech directly related to your book with the purpose of selling more books.
…goes far beyond basic speaking as a marketing technique to FOCUS on book authors like you only.
…is complete and has nothing left out. This course on speaking for authors answers all your questions about speaking to sell more books.
…is the most grounded, practical, actionable course ever created on public speaking specifically for authors to sell more books.
… is your road map to increased exposure, visibility, and sales of your book.
…goes beyond the how-to and actually builds in the time and space to GET IT DONE (something I’ve never offered before!).

The biggest challenge I’ve noticed over my years of teaching the Signature Speech(TM) is people who join my 6-week program are excited to get started, but then life happens, they get busy, and sometimes they never get the speech done and working for them.  That makes me so sad.

Because I KNOW from my loads of success stories that having and delivering a Signature Speech(TM) works every time to help you reach your goals. So here’s what I’m gonna do about it:

I’ve decided to make it super easy for you to commit and get your speech DONE!!!

We’re going to spend 2 full days going through the content from beginning to end on the phone — and you’ll get breaks in between the content to actually DO THE WORK. You’ll also have the opportunity to run ideas past other members via our secret online group and get coaching directly from me during the live Q/A time. Because look what happens when you do the work:

Here’s the schedule for this virtual event:

Class Meets on March 7-8, 2013

My pledge to you:
I promise during this program you will not feel like a fish out of water because I’m teaching it in layman’s terms so that everyone can understand it, follow along, and take action without being overwhelmed at all!!

What’s more is this course helps you develop a new way to think and see marketing opportunities. So while we’re talking about speaking to sell more books, you can bet there will be loads of other tips and strategies — all designed to be efficient and cost-effective for the highest possible ROI.

5 In-depth, fill-in the blank worksheets, which cover everything you need to be successful with this program.

8 Specially designed LIVE webinar training sessions, delivered over the course of 2 high-impact, amazingly productive – AND FUN! – days.

Recorded access to each of your 8 webinar sessions forever (you know, unless someone breaks the Internet or something!).

Certificate of Completion and Awards Ceremony to reward you for your hard work and to use in your marketing as a Certified Signature Speaker (TM).
Ideas to incorporate into your speech beyond your wildest imagination that will enthrall your audiences and help you sell more books!

Speaking of highest possible ROI- let’s talk dollars and sense (yes that’s the “sense” I mean to use!). Because if you don’t have a speech to market your book, really, THAT doesn’t make sense.

Think about it: how many times have you already been asked about your book? Didn’t you have to answer BY TALKING?? This is what I’m saying. When you have a speech to market your book, you won’t ever have to fumble for words again. You’re ready to speak confidently anytime at a moment’s notice.

In determining what to charge for this program, I’ve seen all kinds of prices on similar things. Folks are charging anywhere from $500 – $10,000 for the caliber of results you’ll be getting in this program. In fact, it won’t be long before I offer this same program in a live weekend format for multiple thousands of dollars. Yes, really. But for you, right now, you’re getting this amazing program for 3 easy payments of $99 each. It will go up when I offer it again.

So you might be wondering why I’m teaching this course for such a ridiculously affordable rate. It’s simple. Literally the week after I taught this class for the first time last fall, I ran into some major personal health issues. I was diagnosed with lung cancer, after never smoking a day in my life and leading a healthy lifestyle. The doctors were shocked, but not as shocked as I was.

I spent the rest of the year focusing on getting back to health. Through the grace of God and my own personal miracle, I’m pleased to report I am 100% recovered!

So now I’m back to work! And truth be told, I’m anxious to get back into the swing of things helping as many authors, speakers, and experts as possible.
You will get more out of this class than you can imagine; others did and you will too. In fact, I guarantee it. Not in a money back way, but in a time back way: If I don’t deliver exactly what I promised in the bullets above on this very page, send me a note and I’ll set you up with 2 private sessions to work with me so we can get your speech done and you’re happy with your whole experience. Sound good? I thought so!

Look, this isn’t theory–you’ll discover exactly what has worked for other authors and publishers, and how to make it work for you.

I’m sorry to tell you, but you will find Signature Speech (TM) for Authors does NOT contain some magic pixie dust that will instantly make your book a best seller. If you’re willing to actually implement what you discover, however, you’ll find enough to keep yourself busy – and your book selling — for years.

You also won’t get:
…A course that tries to tell you so much that it doesn’t tell you enough. We’re diving deep here with everything you need to know about speaking and your book.
…Overwhelmed with too many ideas and directions. I’m all about helping you focus and get this thing done and working for you FAST.
…Poorly organized or fragmented info. As a former college professor for more than a decade and with a master’s degree in training and development, I know how to design a course and teach it so it just makes sense and is easy to follow.

Yes, there are other courses on how authors can sell more books. And of course there are plenty of courses on speaking. And even a few on speaking to market a business (I offer one of those myself – the best in the business, I’d say, but I may be biased!). But there is NO OTHER COURSE, to my knowledge, that offers a done-right-now program to specifically build speaking skills to sell more books taught by a successful professional speaker/speaker trainer and author of multiple books. You’ll get that here… nothing more than you need, nothing less. Because of that, this course will help you immensely.

****50 % Gone – Just 10 Seats Left!****

(Updated Monday, 2/25/2013) Because I personally answer every question from every participant in the program, I have to limit the number of participants so you and everyone else can have the kind of help you deserve. Therefore, I’m only accepting 20 participants. But here’s the thing… as soon as I announced this class, it took off like wildfire… both past clients and new clients snapped up their seats in the first 48 hours, so there are now only 10 seats left, and today is the webinar where lots of folks are hearing about this for the first time. Register NOW so you don’t miss out!!

This program on it’s own is powerful. You don’t NEED anything else to be successful. However, given that I have a vault of awesome content that would be helpful to authors and am connected to some seriously amazing people, YOU get some goodies just for signing up. Here they are:

Bonus 1: Cover art interview with Tony Laidig
Tony Laidig is best known online as THE expert on finding and using public domain images and content for profit. But most people don’t have any idea how he got to learn so much about public domain. It was in his days as a professional book cover designer that he needed to stretch his publisher boss’s dollar while he designed more than 1,200 book covers during the span of his career. Tony is a close personal friend and has agreed to share some of his secrets and best ideas around creating book covers that sell. Folks LOVED this bonus last time, as Tony shared a lot of nitty gritty tips!

Bonus 2: Access to my Speaker-Author Telesummit with 3 Expert Publisher Interviews

Last summer, I hosted a telesummit where I interviewed 3 experts in the publishing world all about different ways you can get your book published and into the world in a physical format. You’ll get immediate access to each of these interviews with awesome tips on the types of publishing available to authors today. I learned something new on each call and I think you will too!
Don’t repeat the mistakes so many other authors have made, trying a little bit of this and a little bit of that and selling no books at all. Use the ONE technique that marketing experts everywhere tout as being the BEST way to sell more books, feeling confident you’re getting it right!

Whether you are a published writer or want to become a published writer, you WILL be asked to speak about your book. When you know what to say, how to say it, and where to say it, you’ll be that much farther ahead when the time comes — and greater opportunities will be there for you.

Register right here – just 3 Payments of $99 Each

I can’t wait to work with you on March 7th & 8th to get your Signature Speech (TM) for your book DONE!!! Woo-hoo!!

To your speaking success,

Felicia J. Slattery, M.A., M.Ad.Ed.

PS Listen, you’re going to be asked to speak about your book. You might as well be ready with your speech and your confidence ready to roll! Join me for this exclusive program, designed just for authors like you, and we’ll spend 2 intense days getting your speech DONE. MsSVig

Matthew Goldfarb

Matthew is going to speak about how most speakers are boring as hell because they try to be professional and “normal.” They hide their emotions and personal life for fear of making others uncomfortable.

The truth is that the most captivating (and profitable) speakers, drop their veil of perfection and let it all hang out. They share their passion, their enthusiasm, and when necessary, their anger, as a catalyst for inspiration. I’ll be taking us through that process and why it makes a huge difference on stage and in business.

Get new clients each time you speak– live, on tele-classes, or by phone
Multiply your sales with a powerful Speaking to Sales Success Strategy that makes selling effortless.

Never worry about how to get plenty of high paying clients again.  Become a sought after expert in your niche— one that has people seeking you out

Dear Expert Entrepreneur,

Let’s face it. At heart you’re a teacher. It’s your gift. Nothing is more exciting than sharing your knowledge and expertise to help your clients get amazing results.

Now imagine turning that passion into an extra 6 figures over the next year. Yes I know you’ve heard that before and it might seem hard to fathom. But let me assure you that I’ve done it and so have many others, including many of my clients.

And the fastest ways to do it is through speaking.  Even if speaking is a bit outside your comfort zone, understand that you don’t have to get up in front of hundreds to make speaking work for you in your business. Speaking is the FASTEST WAY I KNOW TO GET NEW CLIENTS EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

All you need is a SPEAKING TO SALES STRATEGY.

Many business owners try speaking. They take any speaking opportunity that comes their way but they don’t get great results. I did this when I started my coaching business 10 years ago. I was in a new city with no real business network and since speaking had always worked for me I was enthusiastic about getting out and speaking as often as possible. I can remember once being asked to speak at a local Rotary club meeting. Now I love the Rotary and they do great work, but they were not really my target market. I was happy to be asked and said yes. I arrived and the room was filled with men and exactly two women. (My clients are about 80% women). And the average age was quite a bit older than my typical client, with an entire table of what looked to be octogenarians who, bless their hearts, were asleep before I was introduced.

Okay, LOL. But I learned a lesson. I learned that I needed to spend my precious time speaking to groups of people who were in my target market. Since then I’ve spoken for many organizations, both locally and nationally, live and online, but all of them were in my target market and that has resulted in thousands of dollars in sales.

So the problem is that many people just don’t know how to turn speaking into sales, even when they are fortunate enough to get up in front of a group of potential clients. Over the years I’ve developed a Speaking to Sales Success System. I use this step by step system to turn MULTIPLE TYPES OF SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES INTO SUBSCRIBERS, LEADS AND SALES.

This is my ENTIRE SYSTEM THAT HAS TURNED SPEAKING INTO 6 FIGURES IN SALES YEAR AFTER YEAR, including checklists, step-by-step guidelines, strategies, project plans, contracts, scripts and process maps so I save time, get great results and don’t need to keep re-inventing the wheel.

This proven step by step system can turn the 8 speaking opportunities listed below into monthly sales and a client filled business.

Whether you’re on a private phone call with a prospect or you’re speaking in front of hundreds, there are multiple opportunities—some you may be missing out on—to speak and sell. Start by creating a memorable signature speech and you’re on your way.

Here are the 7 speaking opportunities that I use to generate income
1. Guest speaker at small local events
2. Guest speaker at larger or national multi-speaker events
3. Tele-classes, webinars and live video
4. Complimentary assessments- private  phone calls
5. 2 to 4 hour live or virtual workshop
6. 1 to 2 day higher level small group workshop or private retreat
7.  Larger single speaker or multi-speaker event

Is your website's contact form covered in cobwebs?

If your website is like most consultant websites, it's probably not very effective. Everyone - especially in our industry - has (and needs) a website, but for most of us it's just a "Read more..." version of our business card. And because your website isn't creating business on its own, you're left with subcontracting, begging for referrals, lots of networking events, going through agencies, or - shudders - oDesk. Though I haven't seen it, but I'm almost certain your website is all about you, and that's why it's not generating the kind of business you hoped it would.

Can you imagine what your business would look like if you got two, five, or a dozen inquiries a week (from real people with real money)? Or if you built an army of fans that could convert almost immediately to clients when you're ready and available to work with them? A steady and consistent stream of new business is a healthy business, and The Blueprint will help to get there.

Turn your consulting website into a lean, mean lead generating machine
After releasing Double Your Freelancing Rate, my book that has helped over 2,000 freelancers learn to price their services, dozens of readers wrote me asking for advice on how to get more clients.

For months, I've been giving advice away for free on my mailing list - much of which made its way into this book. But I never made a system out of it. A "Do this, then that, and here's what will happen" way of approaching the art of selling high-value, high-touch products (your consulting services) on the Internet.

The Blueprint is the result of practical experience and a lot of research, discussions, and absorbing tons of analytics data. The psychology of why people buy - what triggers and hurdles need to be overcome in order to make a sale - are largely the same if the customer is buying a hamburger or a $50,000 website. I've taken this fact and converted it into a series of steps that can be used to jumpstart your consulting website and condition visitors into becoming new clients of yours.

Selling your services online doesn't have to be hard

The difference between a hamburger and a high price website is that one's an impulse buy, and the other is definitely not. A major part of The Blueprint is the idea of a "Carrot", a bit of free value that you'll deliver to potential clients. After feeding off one or more Carrots, your prospects will trust your authority and see you as influential in their decision making process - and will want to work with you and you alone. The days of clients price shopping you against your competitors will be a thing of the past.

A Persona + Storytelling + Carrots + The Right Traffic = The Blueprint
This is the formula, the start to finish system that The Blueprint prescribes. You can't create Carrots without knowing how to tell a story - your clients story, and you can't tell a story until you understand your Persona. By the end of this book, you'll be armed with the information you need to use The Blueprint on your own website: how to structure it, design it, write it, organize content, what Carrots you need to build, and how to convert someone from being a faceless visitor to your ideal client.

•How to empathize with the pains and needs of your prospects
•How to present your services as a solution to their problems
•How to use storytelling techniques to keep your audience absorbed and engaged
•See more...

I fully back my products with a money-back guarantee

Hi! I'm Brennan Dunn, author of The Blueprint. I'm the creator of Planscope, a project management app being used by hundreds of freelancers and teams. I also am the author of "Double Your Freelancing Rate" and I teach a workshop that helps entrepreneurs to scale their consulting business.

After selling over 2,000 copies of my first book, I can count the number of refunds on one hand. If The Blueprint doesn't help you put together a honeypot for potential clients, I'll refund you in full. No questions asked.

Do-It-Yourself

NOTE:  This guy is an Alan Weiss student and former head of NSA New York.  If you're a consultant and trade associations represent a good source of leads for you, you can pick up some good stuff here.  I'm currently using this information to help me partner with trade associations in my niche, giving me access to their members.  This is excellent information.


That’s right, experience explosive growth by learning how to create it in areas that are often the most challenging for associations: membership growth and volunteer recruitment.

David Goldsmith, one of the world’s premiere Business futurists and leadership-management strategists, tells you why associations struggle to find and/or keep membership.

He explains why the premise “if you offer networking and education, members will stay,” is a myth and shows how associations can deliver on their members’ investment. He also shows you how not to rely on the altruism of volunteers and reveals the secret to discovering what volunteers really want in return for their time.

For increasing and retaining MEMBERSHIP
1.  Uncover the ONLY reason members really join that no one, until now, talked about
2.  Learn how the number 5 gets prospective members to knock down your doors
3.  Gain access to the secret of effortless renewals year after year
4.  Build a stronger, more powerful organization than you ever thought possible
5.  Achieve explosive growth 24/7/365 with little to no monetary and time investment
6.  Engage the entire organzation verses just the CEO twice a year.

For finding quality people and producing through VOLUNTEERS
1.  Tap into the TRUE motives that capture quality volunteers
2.  Implement the strategy that inspires volunteers to work for FrEE
3.  Learn how to (almost effortlessly) build the board of your dreams
4.  Know the reward that motivates every volunteer
5.  Build rapid growth through volunteers
6.  Develop an active an working Board of Directors

Taped in front of a live audience, David Goldsmith shares the secrets he's used to:

~ grow one organization volunteer base 841% in just six months while expanding delivery from 240 members to over 3000.
~ deliver a state wide conference with 68% fewer volunteers and an increase in attendance of over 300%.
~ trail blaze an international association chapter from 5 individuals to over 968 members, touching 5 continents and 41 states in just three years.  
~ the same international federation has acknowledged he's created the fastest growing and largest chapter in the world.

“ David received excellent evaluations. His session was standing room only, generating among the highest attendance for our conference sessions. What impressed me most was that he did research beforehand, and contacted a number of my members prior to the session. ALL of them were extremely impressed and cited specific ways in which he helped them with their associations.”

Penny Murphy
President and Chief Executive Officer
Empire State Society of Association Executives

DVD - 2 hour live program
Two hour program presented at the Empire State ASAE group during their annual convention. Program includes copies of all slides used during the presention.

$67.00

Full day live seminar presentation along with the workbook used to walk 100 executives through the techniques used to create explosive growth.

5 CD Set with nearly 5 hours of recording along with the presentation notes used during the recording.

Publisher: Enlightened Millionaire Institute

Review:

From Library Journal
Allen (Nothing Down: How To Buy Real Estate with Little or No Money Down; Multiple Streams of Income) has now moved on to espouse the web as the path to more wealth and personal freedom. The first third of the volume is simply hype. The middle third reviews marketing fundamentals as applied to the net material that one might find in any marketing text. The remainder devotes individual chapters to methods for making money on the Internet such as niche marketing, auto responders, selling links, placing ads on your web page, net auctions, and affiliations with companies who want access to your clients. Allen freely uses other individuals to explain concepts and, unlike many authors of this genre, gives them credit. The volume also has a reputable publisher, an author with a proven record of popularity, arguably less hyperbole than most, and a focus on marketing basics. Despite the ongoing shake-out in the high-tech arena, there is always an audience for get-rich-quick schemes, and Allen's latest title is a cut above the rest of the Tony Robbins or Dave Del Dotto ilk. An acceptable public library purchase.

by Patrick J. Brunet, Western Wisconsin Tech Coll.

Criticism:

From Amazon.com
The fundamental example in this book is flawed. Mr. Allen set up an experiment to show that he could make $24,000 in 24 hours on the Internet. He actually did much better than that. Presumably, the purpose was to show you that anyone could. What he did was make a lot of special offers on products and services that he sells all the time to an e-mail list of 11,000 names he had been developing over the prior 9 months. In fact, he used four messages to the list to define the offer and to alert everyone it was coming. Now, if you were one of the most famous authors and investors in America and you gave special deals, couldn't you sell over $24,000 worth in a day? But presumably you aren't, so this book will be very valuable to all the other celebrity authors as an example, but not so much for you. The book does have a few examples of ordinary individuals succeeding on the Internet, but these examples don't exactly scream out at me about how I can do the same.
The principles in the book are a distillation of almost every marketing guru who has published a book. In fact, there is so much Jay Abraham in the book that I wondered if Mr. Abraham might have ghost-written it (or at least commented extensively on it).

Mr. Allen promises too much in the beginning. If you follow "the strategies and techniques in this book, you will be well on your way to Internet riches . . . ." Not only will you be rich, you won't have to work very hard for "the by-product of your start-up Internet business is freedom." If one percent of the people who follow this advice get to either result, I would be surprised. I suggest that Mr. Allen take 100 people, teach them his principles, and report back on the results a year later. Then, if they succeed as he promises, I will write a new review that gives this book five stars.

The strength of this book is in encouraging you to select your target audience and understand their wants before you think about what type of business you want to have and the services or products you want to provide. The advice about how to build traffic to your site, get income once they are there, and to build repeat business is all quite good at a general level.

The other interesting part of the book is Mr. Allen's description of how he changed his unique selling proposition over the years from "nothing down" to "hands-on-training" to "real-time millionaire mentors."

There's no bad advice in the book, as far as I could tell. It just overstates the ease of making money on an Internet start-up with limited investment capital.

Where else have people indicated that things are easy that you have found difficult? How about losing weight? How about getting into shape using the latest piece of equipment? What's the best way to evaluate these claims, without pursuing them yourself?

May the Internet bring you all the success you would like to have.

ALL THE RAVE. . — by Joseph Menn

The Rise and Fall of Shawn Fanning’s Napster


PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
At age seventeen, Shawn Fanning designed a computer program that transformed the Internet into an unlimited library of free music. Tens of millions of young people quickly signed on, Time magazine put Fanning on its cover, and his company, Napster, became a household name. It did not take long for the music industry to declare war, one that has now engulfed the biggest entertainment and technology companies on the planet.

For All the Rave, top cyberculture journalist Joseph Menn gained unprecedented access to Fanning, other key Napster and music executives, reams of internal e-mails, unpublished court records, and other resources. The result is the definitive account of the Napster saga, for the first time revealing secret take-over and settlement talks, the unseen role of Shawn’s uncle in controlling Napster, and hidden agendas and infighting from Napster’s trenches to the top ranks of the German media giant Bertelsmann.

All the Rave is a riveting account of genius and greed, visionary leaps and disastrous business decisions, and the clash of the hacker and investor cultures with that of the copyright establishment. Napster left a generation of music fans feeling that paying the recording industry close to twenty dollars for a CD was a foolish and unnecessary extravagance, which provoked a still-growing backlash against digital media consumers that might leave them with less control than ever. Here is the inside story of the young visionary and the company that made it happen.

About

The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication
owned by The Economist Newspaper Ltd. and edited in an office in the City of
Westminster, London. Continuous publication began under founder James Wilson in
September 1843. While The Economist calls itself a "newspaper", each issue appears on
glossy paper, like a newsmagazine. In 2009, it reported an average circulation of just
over 1.4 million copies per issue, about half of which are sold in North America.
The Economist claims it "is not a chronicle of economics." Rather, it aims "to take
part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy,
timid ignorance obstructing our progress. It practices advocacy journalism in taking an
editorial stance based on free trade and globalisation, but also the expansion of
government health and education spending and the government support of banks and other
financial enterprises in danger of bankruptcy. It targets highly educated readers and
claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers.
The publication belongs to The Economist Group, half of which is owned by the Financial
Times, a subsidiary of Pearson PLC. A group of independent shareholders, including many
members of the staff and the Rothschild banking family of England, owns the rest. A
board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its
permission. In addition, about two-thirds of the seventy-five staff journalists are
based in London, despite the global emphasis
The Economist's primary focus is world news, politics and business, but it also runs
regular sections on science and technology as well as books and the arts. Every two
weeks, the publication adds an in-depth special report on a particular issue, business
sector or geographical region. Every three months, it publishes a technology report
called Technology Quarterly or TQ. Articles often take a definite editorial stance and
almost never carry a byline. Not even the name of the editor (from 2006, John
Micklethwait) is printed in the issue. It is a longstanding tradition that an editor's
only signed article during his tenure is written on the occasion of his departure from
the position. The author of a piece is named in certain circumstances: when notable
persons are invited to contribute opinion pieces; when Economist writers compile
special reports; and to highlight a potential conflict of interest over a book review.
The names of The Economist editors and correspondents can be located, however, via the
media directory pages of the website.The publication's writers adopt a tight style that
seeks to include the maximum amount of information in a limited space. Atlantic Monthly
publisher David G. Bradley described the formula as "a consistent world view expressed,
consistently, in tight and engaging prose."
There is a section of economic statistics. Tables such as employment statistics are
published each week and there are special statistical features too. It is unique among
British weeklies in providing authoritative coverage of official statistics and its
rankings of international statistics have been decisive. In addition, The Economist is
known for its Big Mac Index, which it first published in 1986. This uses the price of a
Big Mac hamburger sold by McDonald's in different countries as an informal measure of
the purchasing power of currencies.
