Latest NEWS from The Book Shepherd this week / Amazon bestseller workshops start in January

Looking forward to major planning for the New YEAR ... including creating a new 4-week Book Marketing Workshop ... all online.

Wishing you all joy as Christmas Eve unfolds today. No one in my neck of the woods of Colorado will be waking up to snow on Christmas morning … and definitely not cold weather like last year. Weather forecast for the Denver area is slated for the low 60s … so not wintertime here.

My offices will be closed until next Monday (December 29) with the exception of the early morning coaching call on Friday the 26th from 7 am to 8 am … to plan, strategize, and write uninterrupted. I’m working on a new 4 -week Book Marketing workshop to roll out in March. All of us need some days away to look forward for the coming year.

On Sunday, the Winter Solstice, I spent a wonderful evening having dinner with a friend and then walking through Denver’s glorious Botanical Gardens at this time of year. The light displays were simply sensational—brilliant in colors and design. The gardens plan all year and start the implementation of all the lights after Labor Day. Whew … what a piece of visual art and eye-candy.

Sign up for our next sessions scheduled for January 7, 14, 21, 28
There are 23 steps in your journey … a journey where you could pay someone to travel and implement for you … or one where you can roll up your sleeves and learn how to create, implement, and execute. As in DIY.
The Create an Amazon Bestseller Campaign for Your eBook Online course is the later. I will take you through each step during the four weeks. When you complete #17, you are ready to execute.

My goal is for you to have all components for your campaign DONE before your implementation/execution day. All social media tease pushouts done and scheduled before the big day starts.

Requirements:

1. Two hours of your time online each week via Zoom with Judith Briles. Late Wednesday afternoon will be our start time. All sessions recorded.

2. Social media presence. Thousands would be good but not crucial. You will learn tips and tricks during each session that will have new adds every week.

3. An “I want to be #1 and I can do this attitude” and commitment to do the work during each session and post-work each work.

4. A computer. A free account on either Canva and BookBrush.

Dates: Wednesdays, January 7, 14, 21, 28
Times: 4.00 P.M. to 5.30 P.M. MT
Cost: $299

This is how each call starts: I share a few strategies, tips, and tools that attendees can immediately start to use. All share … and ask plenty of questions. They get answers. Definitely an excellent way to start a Friday. Those of you who aren’t participating, you are making a mistake. I love the variety of books and authors who have chosen to participate. What’s also fun, is the energy that can be felt with what everyone is working on. Love it!
