The Program:
With the explosion of new books published each year, it’s harder and harder for yours to stand out. You’d be thrilled if yours made it once on the NY Times bestseller list—but what does it take to make it *six* times?
And what if your topic is an evergreen one, not a new, sexy one? How do you make your book and speech become a must-have, not a nice-to-have?
What mistakes must you avoid in using your book to catapult your career? What are some shortcuts to increasing book and speech sales? What other products can you create from your book?
Chester’s books have been on the NY Times bestseller list five times. They have helped him demand healthy speaking fees, as well as long-term contracts.
You will learn how to:
- make a perennial topic stand out
- articulating your uniqueness in your book
- ethically and legally integrate others’ research
- turn interest in your book to speech bookings
- develop your book’s concepts into bigger products.
