Subject: A simple, timeless strategy for selling more books
Dear Fellow Author,
Sometimes, writing and marketing your books feels like rolling a boulder up a hill.
I get that.
Thousands of ordinary writers will try to turn fiction or nonfiction books into a successful career this year.
A few will have mind-blowing success.
Others will make mediocre progress, never fulfilling the dreams they had when they first put pen to paper.
Most authors who try to claw their way up from the worstseller ranks are going to fail, flop, and flounder.
Maybe you know what it’s like to launch a book only to have close family members and your spouse pick up a copy. It feels kind of like smashing into a brick wall.
If multiple book releases have had the same lack of success… then you’ve got more than a few metaphorical bruises to heal.
You’ve done your best to write more (and better) books and understand the latest marketing technology, but tossing more cash into the publishing money pit doesn’t seem to help.
Maybe this has happened to you over and over again. Maybe it feels like no matter how hard you try, you’ll never be able to turn writing into your full-time dream job and pay your accumulating bills with your own original stories.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Seriously, don’t feel bad – you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.
I was in the same exact situation.
It wasn’t until I discovered some advice from three brilliant marketers that changed the trajectory of my life.
A seven-figure author taught me the value of creating a foolproof email FUNNEL.
A podcast star and YouTube sensation helped me to understand the importance of book descriptions and other COPY.
And a zombie author of all people showed me why my NETWORK was an untapped resource of riches.
When I first applied the wisdom of these three authors, I made a lot of mistakes. I lost thousands of dollars trying to skip ahead before I understood what I was doing.
I rushed the ideas into the world and silly mistakes like poor editing and disorganization almost sunk me before I could finally poke my head above the water’s surface.
When I sat down and started to grasp the sagely advice, everything started to turn around. I launched multiple books into the Top 100 in the entire Amazon Kindle store (and helped others to do the same). I made incredible connections with the top authors in my niche.
After replicating these results with dozens of test cases, I knew it was time to teach others how to make more money and build a sustainable author career.
Inside the course, you’ll discover:
• Why you need to stop what you’re doing right now and work on a short, essential piece of writing. How to turn that small document into thousands of raving fans.
• Email marketing promotions like BookBub are the best way to get short-term sales for your books, yes? No. Focus on this instead to get more sales now and in the future.
• The fastest, most affordable way to connect with your true fans. Hint: It doesn’t involve advertising or giving away multiple novels for free.
You’ll also learn:
• If you’re willing to spend an hour on one simple practice, I promise that within one month, you’ll have more social media buzz and book reviews than you ever dreamed possible.
• Unsure what to email your readers in between launches? Give away signed paperbacks of your book a few times a year to keep your fans engaged and excited.
• End technology frustration with this one simple tool. Start collecting readers right away (for FREE) without any knowledge of HTML or web design.
It drives me crazy when some authors try to hoard their tips and tricks so they can get rich while everybody else flounders.
“Bryan is a trusted voice in the indie community, and I have been very impressed with his work in writing powerful and persuasive copy. His course is detailed and easy to follow, and I’m happy to recommend it.”
– Mark Dawson, seven-figure author and marketing master.

It does! And since I’m going to keep updating the course with new material, your payment guarantees that you can learn everything else I teach on Selling for Authors for the rest of time.
It’s self-paced, but I recommend that you set aside at least a half hour a day for two weeks. If you’re a quick study, then you could be up and running in as little as a few weeks. More methodical learners will need 1-2 months.
Since your payment includes access to the Course Only Facebook Group, you can immediately jump in there to ask any questions. You can also ask questions via email or during your included coaching sessions. You’ll always be able to connect with someone who can answer your question!
No. In fact, the course price will go up in the future, so it’s best to buy now so that you can get all future updates at this price.
Extremely mobile-friendly! You can watch the videos and download the worksheets on your phone, tablet, or computer. If you’re more of a “paper and pencil” author, you can print out all of the worksheets and slides as well.
The core fundamentals of copywriting don’t actually change much over time. When you learn them, you’ll be able to apply my lessons for decades.
If any aspects of my course do go out of style, then I’ll make sure to update them with new information right away. Ah, the joy of the Internet.
You’ve got to make your own decisions about what’s best for your author career. I’ve priced this under the $997 copywriting courses out there, and a one-on-one version of this course would go well past $2,500.
Fortunately, when you buy this course and apply my teachings, all future marketing you apply to your book is likely to improve. For some authors, even a 5% improvement over a single year might be enough to get a positive return on investment.
Remember, a $4 Starbucks latte a day will run you about $1,460 for the whole year. The only long-term return you get on that is the barista learning your name. I think Selling for Authors is bound to get you more than that!
