John Kremer's People You Should Know Teleseminar Series
Over the years I've met many people who offer products and services
that can help authors and publishers sell more books. During the past
two months, after attending several conferences where I renewed many
friendships, I realized that I should introduce these people to readers of
my newsletter and customers of Open Horizons.
So, starting on Wednesday, December 2nd, I'm going to be hosting a
weekly teleseminar where I will interview someone I think you should
know - 1. Because you will learn some useful tips from them and 2.
because they offer a service or product I think might help you market
your books more effectively. The primary purpose of the teleseminars
will be to teach you practical and effective book marketing tips.
This series of teleseminars will take place every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m.
Eastern, 5:00 p.m. Pacific, for the next 12 months. If you can make the
live teleseminars, you'll be able to ask questions. But every teleseminar
will be available for you to listen to any time during the next two years.
Here are the first two people I'll be featuring in this series . . .
December 2nd - Liora Mendeloff, founder of InstantMediaKit.com -
What do media people look for in a great pitch, that is, one that gets
the author booked? Also the truth about online media kits.
December 9th - Bob Burg, author of Endless Referrals, The Success
Formula, and The Go-Giver - How to build a relationship leveraging
machine and create Personal Walking Ambassadors for your books
If you'd like to take part in this incredible series of teleseminars (there
will be at least 52 of them), you can sign up for less than $1 per seminar
by clicking here: http://bit.ly/jwu6K (that's $37 total for a year's worth
of money-making seminars for you!).
Why am I charging for these seminars? 1. These seminars will be loaded
with great tips you will be able to implement right away. 2. I want to
ensure a large audience for each seminar without doing tons of promos
each week. 3. I'm opening up my rolodex so you'll be introduced to
smart people who can make a difference in marketing your books.
Again, the teleseminar series starts on Wednesday, December 2nd, so
sign up soon. Each teleseminar will start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and last
no more than one hour. And there will be time for you to ask questions
of me as well as my guest.

When marketing books, remember what novelist Stephen King wrote:
"Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why
everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."

"I wanted to thank you for letting me know about a feature that PW was writing. Thanks to your heads
up, we received a great write up and one of our titles was pictured in the article. The timing was incredible. That article
impressed many of the producers I have met with. Again, thanks for your incredible weekly newsletter."
- Ken Leebow, Web: http://300 Incredible.com.
"Even though I have been publishing since the 1960s and have over a hundred titles under my belt, John Kremer knows
more about publishing then just about anyone else - and is willing to share his knowledge and contacts with others for
a reasonable price (sometimes for nothing). This website is a must for small publishers, especially those getting
started who may not know which way to turn." - Timothy Beckley, president, Global Communications
Our Favorite Causes
10% of sales on this website are donated to the following groups.
That means 10% of what you actually pay (excluding postage), not what we net or profit. We like to keep it clean
and simple. When people promise to give 10% or some other percentage of their profits, that means nothing.
So many companies, books, etc. don't generate a profit, so 10% of nothing becomes nothing. It's all smoke and mirrors.
We actually give 10% of the proceeds from sales via this website's order form to the following causes. Now you know.
Nature Conservancy, American Cancer Society, Sierra Club,
American Red Cross, World Wildlife Fund, Multiple Sclerosis Association,
National Wildlife Foundation, Special Olympics, Doctors Without Borders, National Museum of the American Indian,
The Ocean Conservancy, The Humane Society of the United States, Habitat for Humanity, Arthritis Foundation, National Arbor Day Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital,
St. Labre Indian School, National Audubon Society, Easter Seals, American Lung Association, March of Dimes,
and many others.
