The Program:
It’s a buzzword these days to talk about if one has a good “platform” or not — and we’re not talking about the place you stand when delivering a speech!
So what is it and why do you need one? Isn’t having a blog, ezine, and Twitter followers enough? Who really cares if you have a platform or not? And if you decide it is important (and it is!) how do you create a great one to move your business and success to the next level?
Bill has broken the idea of platform into easily understandable elements that you can build a little bit at a time to increase book sales, get more and better speaking and/or consulting engagements, and move your business up another notch or two.
You will learn:
- the five elements that make up a platform
- why platform is not all about publicity or the size of your mailing list
- how to use other people’s platforms to increase yours
- the fastest way to increase your platform
- what you can learn about presenting your platform from how Bill got an agent in one day
