Listen in to this AMAZING podcast interview with Sharon Lyon...
A million years ago, humans walked the earth in tribes,
their lives precariously short, their stories mostly untold.
Ifa was such a woman. And her story is at the beginning of all things.
💥 https://amzn.to/3wje0LX
As a woman raised in the 1950s, Henrietta Ballantine has always had to prove herself. Homeschooled to challenge her intellectually, Henrietta spent her childhood with a strict Russian tutor and an overbearing mother for whom she could do nothing right.
It’s her science-driven father who finally manages to give Henrietta refuge within the Smithsonian’s glorious walls. There she learns a love of ancient things, of secrets hidden in the ground. Of fossils.
💥 https://amzn.to/3wje0LX
Deciding to attend college and study paleontology, hoping knowledge will finally fill the emptiness inside her, Henrietta faces an uphill battle against those who refuse to see her as their equal in a male-dominated field. This, she expects. But as her studies bring her to dig sites across the country, Henrietta’s adventures unearth something she never imagined: a romance with fellow geologist Frank Bailey, a man of few words, strong opinions, and an evolving belief in Henrietta’s capabilities. Still, it isn’t Frank who haunts her dreams:
the relationship she can’t seem to define is the one she has with a “guardian angel” whose voice Henrietta hears in her loneliest moments. A voice that calls to her across the ages. A voice that suddenly becomes very loud once Henrietta’s excursions bring her to Africa.
💥 https://amzn.to/3wje0LX
How could Henrietta and Ifa, two women born thousands of millennia apart, forge a connection, one that may ultimately fulfill Henrietta’s greatest desire?
The answer will be found deep beneath the sediment, in fossils that tell a wondrous story of endurance, of resilience…of women.

Listen in to this AWESOME Author Interview with Jan Herrman!
He just published his novel "The Last Cowboy" and it's number one in multiple categories on Amazon!
🔥 https://amzn.to/3BcRUvf
As the romanticized period of the American “wild” West wound down, most cowboys rode off into the sunset. Hank Miller must follow a different path. In The Last Cowboy, he survives the Civil War, Texas sized desperados, and the great San Francisco earthquake. With a debt to pay, Hank will place himself and his twin sons in great danger in a new, wild and untamed frontier—Morocco!
🔥 https://amzn.to/3BcRUvf
This is a sweeping tale of a reluctant hero of the West. It is also a story of romance and international adventure, stretching from west Texas to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, London, Tangier and the Moroccan Rif. The novel spans an equally expansive time frame: 1860 to 1912. The backdrop is the American frontier with all its enduring myths and troubling realities. Ultimately, his heroism earns Hank unexpected wealth, friends on three continents, and the love of an extraordinary woman.
🔥 https://amzn.to/3BcRUvf
Now ensconced in a mansion in the most exclusive neighborhood of San Francisco, Hank has a beautiful wife and three remarkable children. He wants nothing more than to enjoy them all and the highly successful international tour business he and Beth now operate. But a last, perilous mission awaits. Hank has a debt to pay and a friend to rescue in a far off land.

Author Interview 2022: Carolyn Hartley: Reconciliation - Atone the Devil in Buried Sunshine!
Adele Dawson, finally back with her West Virginia birth family, is driven to learn why her father died so young and why her mother remarried despicable August Beck, a con artist, then gave birth to eight of his children.
When her half-sisters also come to live with her, they get wise to a secret museum of treasures in Adele’s once-lavish stone mansion. She unlocks secrets inside a locked trunk about her mother’s coerced life in corruption, greed, and extortion, secrets that now threaten to extinguish the entire family. Her paternal grandmother’s final wish is that Adele rebuild the family’s coal mine, nearly bankrupt from the Depression, and restore the river stone mansion to its original beauty.
The more involved she becomes in the mining business, the more she discovers her mother’s enemies have concealed themselves within the family business. On the verge of gaining trust from superstitious coal miners, her saboteur stepfather creates mine blasts that injure workers, forcing the reconstruction to miss critical deadlines. Set in a pre-World War II coal mining town. Impeccably researched.

Read, reflect and respond.
This book invites the reader to read, reflect and respond to the global pandemic of 2020 and successive months after by author Larada Horner-Miller. Readers are encouraged to think about how the pandemic affected them and how they adapted. The book is intended to be used as a journal, a safe keeping place to revisit 2020.
💥. https://amzn.to/3fE64eL
Larada Horner-Miller viewed the forced shelter in place as an opportunity for spiritual discoveries and renewed spiritual growth. The book incorporates what she learned during her year of solitude, a transformative process leading her to find a reconnection with her “God.” She struggled spiritually and emotionally. Her emotions ran deep from fear, struggle, and despair going deeper into her faith, ultimately making Horner-Miller a better, not a bitter person.
💥. https://amzn.to/3fE64eL
FORMAT OF THE BOOK:
Themed chapters with poetry and prose add depth to the book. The book is divided into chapters with content developed from the author's blog over the years. Each chapter begins with a carefully chosen thought provoking quote complementing the theme.
Horner-Miller's prose and poetry are creative and soul stirring. Both are extensions of the chapter's theme. Many of the poems deal with the anxiety and depict the universal struggles of uncertainty during this time.
Readers will find them inspirational and comforting. Reflective questions at the end of each chapter encourage reader participation to share their personal thoughts and stories as well as process hidden fears and concerns during time spent in quarantine.

It's STILL happening!
E-v-e-r-y -damned- day I meet someone who...
Got ripped off by "Johnny Marketer"!
My friend was telling me how he paid $5000 to one of these Book Marketing experts...
YES, FIVE THOUSAND fricken dollars!
What did he get?
However, my buddy didn't think that was worth $5k.
(his book only made $200 in royalties!)
He should have come to me first,
I would have taught him how to do all that stuff for almost free!
LISTEN IN on this episode - at the END I show you how to get HALF-OFF my Flagship course!...***
...that teaches you everything you need to know to publish your first Ebook on Amazon AND get #1 in category!!!
>>>Check out the video to this podcast - it's pretty cool!
This is my quick take on 2 super PROFOUND "get things done" books!
They are both AWESOME, but I find the 12 week year just little bit better because of the weekly KPI's.
HOWEVER - the 1 Thing is simpler and just as effective depending on your style of GOAL setting.
GET THEM BOTH!
And listen to the 1 THING podcast for sure with Geoff Woods (also on The Mentee podcast) = awesome!

Darla is a CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER and author of FOUR books.

Ever since I started my podcasts this year, I have had nothing but top notch industry experts on my show.

They are all extremely down to earth! And I love it!
It's like Mike Shreeve said about writing and being a successful author, "It's not magic"!

Reinvent Yourself - Brand Identity Breakthrough with Gregory V. Diehl
I started reading this book, totally unaware of the shock I was going to get. I had heard of brand identity before, but every book and article I read about it was BOOORing!
That’s why I was freshly surprised and STOKED that I got an ARC of Gregory’s book to read, and LEARN , and BETTER myself and my business.
This “brand identity stuff” is so important, I think everyone should read this book, even if they don’t have a business.[click to tweet]
It’s about the cornerstone of human happiness — personal development.
And if you can only have one book about brand identity, then make it this one.
At the END OF THE POST is the link to pick it up for onl $.99, get it now while it is still on pre-sale!
I decided I must share this with you and, interview this young guy who is slowly putting Tim Ferris in the shadows as he travels across 40 countries:
You’ve got a new book coming! Is this your 1st book?
It is. I’ve contributed chapters to a couple other books on things like travel and unconventional education, but this is the first full length book that’s truly all mine. I finally get to get my whole message out there exactly the way I want, and that feels really good to me as an author. So far at least, my early readers seem to appreciate the strength and uniqueness of the message. And judging by the early success it has seen, it definitely won’t be my last book. I’m already thinking ahead to what comes next, particularly about the elements of this one that relate to self-discovery and education.
Your book is ranking #2 right now in “small business”?
I’m not sure of the exact ranking because that changes pretty frequently, but it already hit #1 bestseller status in the Public Relations category two weeks before launch from preorders alone. I think it has a good chance of doing the same in Small Business. I’m not an expert on Amazon launches or rankings, but I think that’s pretty darn impressive considering how little I knew about book marketing when I started this journey. It’s now up there next to books that have hundreds of five star reviews, and some really well-known names like Dan Norris, Gary Vaynerchuck, Peter Thiel, Chris Guillebeau, and Jon Lee Dumas, I had initially hired someone to handle the marketing for me because I didn’t want to to have to think about it, but that whole thing ended up blowing up in my face and I had to learn to do it all myself. I’m glad I was able to recover so well, though part of me wonders if it could have gone even better.

Launching Brand Identity, with Gregory Diehl.
This is one of my favorite authors and one of my FAVORITE books. Holding true to the "Digital Nomad" existance, I interview Gregory Diehl in Morrocco.
With the evening prayer blaring in the background from some UNKNOWN source in the highest (the Atlas mountains) mountains of North Africa, you can't help but imagine Humphry and Bacall, or Tim Ferris on the wing in some exotic land!
Excerpts from the interview:
How big was your existing audience? On a professional level, very small. I had a lot of clients I had worked with a lot of clients before in various aspects of sales and branding, so I reached out to them to help me refine the book and spread the word. They are the ones who ended up as case studies in the book. I also had a fairly large network of personal connections who didn’t necessarily care about the business subject matter of the book, but liked way of thinking and my take on things. They became some of my beta readers and early reviewers.
How did you build your audience before launch? My strength has always been cold outreach and direct conversation. I spent a lot of time on forums and in book groups on Facebook just reaching out to let people know what I was planning on doing with the book, which contributed to a lot of 99-cent presales and initial buzz when it launched. It was really encouraging to see the early readers start chiming in of their own accord to say glowing things about the book to back up my own claims.
What are the steps you used to launch? I understood two very important things:
I tried to accomplish both of these things at the same time by working with as many beta readers as possible to help me refine the rough draft, and most of them agreed to download the book on the day of launch when it was free and leave a “verified purchase” review. In addition, I used some services that allow you to reach out to potential reviewers and send them advance copies of your book in exchange for an honest review. As of now, about 2.5 months after launch. I have 84 reviews, with an average 4.8-star rating.
You used the pre-sale method - did that hurt or help you on launch day? It’s hard to say, since I have not tried the alternative, but my book did hit the #1 spot in Public Relations even in the preorder stage. I think having it up there for months before actual launch probably helped gain a lot of exposure from Amazon’s regular browsers. I plan to do the same again, but maybe only a month of preorder this time with the travel book.

Zbooks SEO Podcast Interview with Dave Chesson, In this podcast+post we cover: * The SEO Blueprint for Authors * Finding and Targeting Keywords * Keyword Tools * Amazon Associates * Website Monitoring and Metrics * The Future of Ebooks * Disappearing Camels!
"I may not be a best author, but I am a best selling author."-- Dave Chesson, Kindlepreneur click to tweet!http://ctt.ec/0Gn_f
Last week I had the excellent opportunity to interview a non-fiction AND SEO master, the one and only Dave Chesson of Kindlepreneur.com! If you are not familiar with SEO, it's "Search Engine Optimization", and it's the difference between a "Disappearing Camel" or a "Steady Stream". ???What??? You see most authors don't want to bother with a complicated website, they just want to publish in Amazon and let Amazon "do the rest".
BIG mistake!
The Question is: Do you want a disappearing camel, or a steady stream?
Your author website is your hub, everything you do in cyberspace should point back to your website.
And when you get your SEO right, it will supply a steady stream of sales, instead of the "disappearing Camels" you get when you launch a book in Amazon or do an occasional promotion.
SEO is NOT easy, but if you ask me, I LOVE this technique as compared to "just" publishing in Amazon. And it can make a non-profitable book in Amazon, profitable on your blog!
Listen to Dave's valuable and surprisingly awesome information in the podcast, for example how he uses Amazon Associate links to research who his target readers REALLY are, and when you are done, check out The Most Awesome SEO Infographic Ever Conceived in Broad Daylight! Brought to you by Dave and myself.

How the F do they do it?
Back-ends, SEO, WTF is that?!
Some authors just seem to EFFORTLESSLY make TONS of money on Amazon!
"SEEM" is the keyword here.
There is A LOT of effort going in to these sales.
What you don't see is all of the work they are doing on their websites/blogs.
THE SEO AUTHOR use his blog or website to supply a constant stream of traffic to his book.
The book can be anywhere: iTunes, Amazon, B&N, Kobo, you name it.
It doesn't matter where your book is, when you have a website that is ranking high in the "SERP's" i.e. Google, you can funnel those viewers anywhere you want -- you can even sell your books ON YOUR BLOG directly!
Especially if you are publishing super niche books that just can't make it on Amazon--Then forget Amazon and sell them on YOUR own blog!
