Again, congratulations on making it this far.

It is an extremely exciting time to be an author.

As the publishing industries are being disrupted due to new media, there is a creative renaissance occurring for authors that are are able to build their own platforms.

Readers on Command is designed specifically for you to take advantage of this opportunity. 

With laser focus and and a proven method, we will help you build your book sales funnel and avoid the costly, frustrating mistakes that stall progress and waste your time and energy.
This is Your Time.
 
After having seen the 6 Myths Presentation, and talked to us on the phone, you now understand what you need to succeed as an author: specifically, a book sales funnel.

On this page we’d like to tell you more about why we started the program, and how it is designed.
Out of the Hell Zone… To Solid Foundations, Leveraged Systems, Immediate Traction 
and a Clear Path Forward
 
When building a book sales funnel, there is a stage we fondly call a “hell zone”.

This is where options are infinite, opinions conflicting, choices overwhelming, and the path forward is one you are attempting to take stabbing in the dark, with each stab costing you time, money, and motivation.

The truth is, most self-published authors fail because they never get out of this zone.
Promotional efforts are scattered, and there is no straight line process that your readers can take to get to you or your work.

Traditional websites are not designed to sell books. 95% of visitors land on them and bounce off without taking any defined action.

A blog?

An “info” page?

Both of these pages have their place, but are brutally inefficient for actually building an audience and selling books.
Enter the Book Sales Funnel
 
To add insult to injury, in almost all cases, even if you were to build a “book sales funnel” they almost never work directly out of the gate — at times, even for us.

Just as a book needs drafting and editing, so too do book sales funnels.

Most book marketing courses do not offer anywhere near the hands-on expertise that is required to build something of this importance.

As a result, the failure rate for building these systems is extremely high.
The Good News Is… This is a Problem That Can Be Solved And You’ve Already Met The Guys To Do It
 
Our entire approach is designed around getting you out of the hell zone, and budgeting a realistic amount of time, energy, and even advertising budget to do so.

We’ve taken what we’ve done repeatedly in the publishing industry, and will take you through the the templates, frameworks, proven tech systems, designed to effectively convey your message — to the right people, at the right time — to grow your platform.

By the end of the eight weeks, you will have a beautifully functioning book sales funnel that you can proudly direct visitors to, that will sell your book for you, and collect all of your readers in one place — allowing you to own the most valuable, coveted asset of them all...

A relationship with, and direct access to, your audience.

From this point on, your time, energy and focus shift from “tech and systems” to message and creativity. As you let the wonderful machine you built do the heavy lifting for you.

Best of all, your growth is quantifiable.

You can login daily to see your email list grow, and know the exact activities you can take to grow it further.

This ensures that all subsequent marketing and promotional activities you perform are leveraged fully.

The Readers on Command Protocol
 
Week 1: Preparing for Success
 
Welcome to the jungle. Winners start with the end in mind and know what to expect along way. 

In this week we, will show you exactly what you’re building from a bird's-eye view, and its immense capability. 
This will make the whole process more exciting, effective, and move you out of the hell zone as painlessly as possible. We’ll get right into the frameworks used to ensure highly effective marketing campaigns, so come prepared because this isn’t just a “housekeeping” session!
Week 2: The Perfect Reader
 
Most book marketing fails because it falls on deaf ears. There is, however, a reader out there that is desperately waiting for your book, your message, and YOU to come into their world and become their new favorite author and thought leader.
In this week, you’re going to find them, using a process that will give you such a clear idea of who your perfect reader is, that you can speak to them in a way that cuts through the noise like a heated samurai sword through a giant block of butter.
Week 3: Building Your Landing Page
 
Armed with the weapons of mass persuasion, you are now ready to create a focal point to which all eyeballs can be pointed. Your landing page is the gateway to your platform, and a central location specifically designed to draw in a prospective reader is its backbone. 
We have prepared world class templates to maximize your “conversion rate” and make writing this page fun and effective.

Next time someone asks, “whats your website?” you’ll be proud to point them here.
Week 4: Your Compelling Free Chapter
 
First impressions last. Your single best shot to create a lifelong fan happens within two minutes of them joining your platform. 

Most people screw this up, and wonder why this whole “marketing thing” doesn’t work out for them.
We have tested this step of the system extensively and will show you how to make the best impression and ensure you build a list of book buyers instead of “freebie seekers”. 
Week 5: The Power of Email
 
Congratulations, by this point you’ve created a friction-free, compelling journey for your readers, and are building your most valuable online asset...

Your email list.
In this week, we’ll hand you over the templates we use to automate and nurture relationships with your readers, the exact email sequences we used to crash servers, generate sales windfalls, and how to tell great stories in the medium of email to engage readers.
Week 6: Effective Book Advertising
 
For better or worse, money makes the world go round. And if you have a budget, (beyond what we’re throwing in for you), then you can automate and scale the process of growing your platform using effective advertising.
We have experience doing this from budgets of $500 per month, up to $500,0000 per month, profitably (no typos). Whether you’re ready to go down this path or not, knowing how it works will serve you well when your publisher hands you a fat advance to market your book.
Week 7: Write for Your Readers
 
As promised, there are ways to generate Readers on Command effectively without paid promotion. In fact, there are significant benefits from using organic methods to generate readers, and they can be incredibly effective for both growing your platform and attracting speaking engagements, podcast interviews, and joint ventures of all kinds. 
We will share the guaranteed “writing = readers” strategy. We have even recorded an interview with a writer that got 1 million+ views on an article he wrote for LinkedIn, and got features on several major publications, about how he did it, and how you can too.
Week 8: The Power of Partnership
 
We’re not “networker types”, but you definitely will get approached for partnerships of all kinds. Structuring these deals the right way can massively expand your platform, with no cost or no time on your behalf. 
This week, we’ll show you how to get these deals, and leverage them so that they expand your reach and even create “omnipresence”, to seem as if  “everyone is talking about you."
Weeks 9-12: You Are Not Alone
 
Congratulations, you have built a book marketing machine. It’s time to fill the funnel, and as promised we’re running $1500 of advertising for YOU. 

Yes, you read that right. 
This will kickstart the whole process, and allow us to test to make sure everything is working as it should. If it isn’t — and it’s probable that something won’t be — never fear, we have diagnostic approaches to isolate and fix any component of this process. 

As Colton would say, “this ain’t our first rodeo”. 

We are 100% prepared for this, and have budgeted the time, money and mental bandwidth to bring you over the line and ensure you are happily moving down the path to success!
