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
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.
In Readers on Command, You Will:
When you finish Readers on Command, you will have a guaranteed audience of readers in your niche who know about your book and intend to buy, plus proven strategies to continue scaling your audience.
We’re excited to teach you how to implement this system.
Here's What To Expect:
You’ll join us for a weekly live training session, where we’ll walk you through the step-by-step implementation of your own world-class book sales funnel. Your partner is also welcome to join if they’re involved in this journey with you, as we’re glad to also train them up in the areas that are relevant.
You’ll also have direct access to us over that period to answer your questions, and build your perfect book sales funnel.
Our stated aim is to deliver you this outcome, and we have allocated the time and bandwidth to show up 100% for you.
Full Disclosure
These are the exact same methods we’ve used with authors who came to us with multiple six-figure advances and needed a guaranteed winner.
These are the same methods we used to get New York Times bestsellers.
They are also the same methods we’ve used to help everyday people with passion and drive to build the business and platform of their dreams.
The difference is initially in the scale, but as your platform grows, so will its power — and you will have proven, effective, and 100% measurable strategies to grow it as large as you want.
