Using Teleseminars
to Create and Market Books
by John Kremer
Here are a few links (plus many bonus links) for websites that were mentioned in my teleseminar on Using Teleseminars to Create and Market Books.
Creating Teleseminars
Using Teleseminars to Create and Market Books In May 2007 I hosted a teleseminar on how you can use teleseminars to create new content, write new books, build important relationships, promote your books, and sell more books. In this seminar, I revealed a secret tip on how to begin creating relationships with top media and book buyers, even months or years before your book comes out. This one tip could boost your book marketing program to levels few authors or publishers have ever enjoyed. May, 2007. 100 minutes. Mp3 audio download, $47.00.

John, thanks for providing us with your specialty retailer and catalog databases.
