Whosoever Press // Book Publishing Companies // Master the Art of Getting Massive Amounts of Attention! - Publishing Companies in Alabama - Christian Book Publishers

Master the Art of Getting Massive Amounts of Attention!
Nate Fortner

http://WhosoeverPress.com Publishing Companies in Alabama, Whether you're an Author, Musician, or an Entrepreneur, you have to agree with me when I say, you must attract attention for your talent or business. Your survival depends upon your success! I'm going to give you a couple proven techniques that will actually help you to get attention for yourself, and it's very cost effective.
#1: When you're planning an event, whether in your home town or abroad, you should give the Event Coordinator at least 10- 15 full color promotional flyers to hang up around town.
#2: Don't depend upon the Event Coordinator to think of everything, so you need to get online, and research the area for local Newspapers. You need to call and speak with the local Newspapers in the town where you will be signing books, performing, or speaking. When you get them on the phone, tell them who you are, and what you will be doing in their town. Then, proceed to tell them that you want to do a Press Release. You want to say Press Release because that is FREE! Anything that is newsworthy can be considered for a Press Release. 
#3: YouTube can be an amazing tool to help boost your career, but before you can benefit from YouTube ads, you need to create a free channel and start uploading content. Once you have a great video, in your Creator Studio, you will find the video you wish to promote. Click the drop down menu beside the video, and click on Promote. You will need to create a Google.com/Adwords account to use this service. The great thing about YouTube ads, is you can geographically pinpoint your advertisement to be shown in the town where you will be performing. Depending on your budget and length of time, you could promote your event for as long as you need before your arrival.
If you're going to be successful in life, you must get attention! I've heard many say that content is king, but the truth is, ATTENTION IS KING!

Without Faith In Yourself - Publishing Companies in Alabama


Without Faith In Yourself ….

Nate Fortner
 

 

As a writer, you must believe in yourself! Regardless of what you may think, you are the mitochondria or powerhouse that will engage readers, pushing them to buy your book. Your publisher can’t make people buy your book. The publisher will do exactly as his/her title suggests; publish your book! Most publishers will also handle getting your book into distribution and collect your royalties for you. Let me say it again. Your publisher cannot dedicate countless hours and thousands of dollars to just one book. Some publishers will perhaps, but they all won’t.

As an author, it is your responsibility and duty to build your platform. No publisher can do that for you. Even if a publisher could build your platform, would you be able to operate and perform on that stage? I’ll also say this, it would be completely unfair to the author if the publisher tried to build each author’s platform. We aren’t as passionate about your topic as you are! Doctors have the passion to heal; lawyers live to promote the law; authors live to write; singers live to sing and publishers publish! If you need help promoting your book, check out http://thebookpromoter.com provided by http://BooksGoSocial.com

If you’re going to write a book, you won’t get rich and famous overnight! Overnight success is achieved by taking small steps over years of hard work. You need to invest in yourself by reading books on promotion and marketing like, “Book Marketing in the 21stCentury"(Click to By) by Nate Fortner to start. Get a copy of “How To Be A Successful Writer Overnight”(Click to Buy). It is also another title by Nate Fortner that should interest you. Although, these two Kindle books may be for beginners, well-seasoned authors shouldn’t count them out. These would be great resources to remember the basics.

DID YOU KNOW?

College Education is now FREE worldwide! It’s called YouTube! I’m telling you, when I moved to Alabama, I dropped out of college, and I’ve learned more on YouTube than I ever did sitting in class! If you plan on being a successful writer, it’s time to focus and get committed.

I’m Nate Fortner, and I’ve written more than seven books to date, and I’m also a Country Christian Recording Artist. I travel the country all year long speaking to groups of authors, and performing concerts to thousands. However, right now you’re probably thinking, “I’ve never heard of you before now.”  You’re absolutely correct, and if I hadn’t taken the initiative to write this, you may still not know who I am! Most people who attain celebrity status do it over a period of 10-20 years. As depressing as this may be, the important thing to remember is, they never gave up! They may have gotten knocked down, but they got back up! They kept pushing, and now they’re freakin celebrities! I won’t say who, but I have many celebrity friends who will tell you the same thing. Stay focused, get committed, and do whatever it takes. If you ever plan on making a difference in this world, you better get serious because you only live once! Watch out because Nate Fortner will be a household name in the next 20 years!

Don't Disrepect Your Publisher - Publishing Companies in Alabama


Don’t Disrespect Your Publisher

Nate Fortner

 

     When I published my first book “Teaching Christians to Pray the Bible Way,” I had published with a well-known publisher. It was such an exciting experience and I felt a great sense of accomplishment. I had accomplished at 24 years old, what many only achieve after a lifetime. After just a few short months, I was very unhappy with the results I had gotten. I called my publisher and asked that they remove me from their database as an author. I decided I was going to start my own company and help authors to keep from going through what I did. Needless to say, I did start my own company, and I’ve just hit my three year anniversary. I will tell you, I have dealt with some crazy people. One particular author, who I won’t name, would constantly text and call my phone harassing me, wanting to know why her book wasn’t selling. She would text hateful messages to my phone wanting to know when she would be receiving her royalty check. “I know my book’s good, and people will buy it if you’d just promote it like you’re supposed to do!” she demanded. Can you guess why she didn’t receive a royalty check? The answer is simple! Her book was still in the editing process! The book wasn’t even close to being finished yet, and this woman was harassing me and my Editor like crazy. Later, I found out that she had befriended my Editor, and my Editor, out of the kindness of her heart, paid money over the phone to a Drug Store to pay for this woman’s prescription medication! My Editor is an amazing woman, but I didn’t know she had done this until after the fact. Then the old woman still bit the hand that fed her. What a dog!

Once her book was published, I scheduled her for a couple book signings here in town, and afterward, the bookstore owners begged me not to bring her back for another event. At one point, this author called my Editor and told her that if I would focus my attention on promoting her book instead of my own and the other authors, she could make some money. Let me just tell you, if this is the attitude you have toward your publisher, be prepared to get dropped! Once I completed her book, I put it out into the market place, and believe it or not, it was starting to pick up momentum. She was even getting some really awesome reviews, and she was excited. I was so happy knowing that maybe now we would work together peaceably. I was so terribly wrong! Just a few days later, my Editor called me, and I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was not very happy! This author had begun texting and harassing her again. Now, it had just went too far, because stores around town were calling and asking if I was still representing her. She had started going to stores around town slandering me and my company.

The moral of the story is NEVER publicly harass your publisher simply because he/she isn’t moving fast as you think he/she should. This work typically takes 18 months, and we do it in 8. We work very hard to make our authors look great! I ended up dropping her, and cut all ties. She was too much to handle. What makes this even worse, is I never even charged this ungrateful woman the first dollar. I invested $1,500.00 of my own money into her book! I believe in helping people, and this woman simply had no money, but my Editor believed so strongly that her book would become a Best Seller. This woman was such a great writer that my Editor had me so excited to invest my own $1,500.00 into someone else’s work.

About a year later, I received a call from another publisher asking if I knew about a very hateful old woman who evidently I had published at some point. I said, “Let me guess, her name was ******* *******?” “Yep, that’s her!” he said. She had entered his office harassing me and my company saying how badly we treated her. I told him to stay away from the woman because she’s trouble. He told me that he had no intention of publishing her writing simply because she came in speaking so badly of me and my company.

Obviously, I’m sure there may be some bad publishers out there, but I’ve not met one yet. Make sure before you publish with any publisher that you completely understand the contract. All publishers don’t offer the same services. Your publisher can’t make people buy your book, and your publisher probably won’t promote your title. They’re also not going to serve as your agent! If you have a poor attitude, you won’t get anywhere!

 

The main point is this!

Don’t disrespect your Publisher, we speak among ourselves and you’ll never get published!

Overnight Success As A Writer

Is writing your hobby or passion? Do you see yourself as a writer by profession? These are very interesting questions that people who are interested in writing can answer. If you are the type of person who always wrote stuff in your diary, pieces of paper, tissue paper, or any writing material, just to get your thoughts out, then you might be a writer in the making. Becoming a writer is not an easy task. There are many successful writers who have taken years to polish their crafts and may not be getting their “big breaks.” It is a daunting task, but it will give you the highest satisfaction in life if you fulfill your lifelong dream of being a writer. Getting there will be the hard part. There many aspiring writers out there, which makes for healthy competition. Getting published is the ultimate validation of a writer and having your books read by people is the fulfillment of that dream. Many famous writers never imagined the magnitude of their words on people who are reading their books and the impact those words have on the lives of their readers. Some of them scribbled their thoughts on scraps of paper or even pieces of tissue paper while drinking tea in a cafĂ© or while traveling on a train home. They never thought that their creation would ever reach the farthest places on earth, but it did. Their thoughts did fly out, and it reach millions of people. Their works of art inspired and sparked something in people from around the world. Their daily musings about life were shared by millions, and these musings turned into famous quotes and inspirational texts that many are using.

No one can ever say what your words can do unless you put them on paper. Yes, you can give inspirational talks and speeches, but you also need to etch them on paper so you can pass them on to others. Many speeches and well-said talks began with writing and these words became famous because they made available in print form.

So, if you are a person who has ideas and thoughts bursting from your head, write it on something and keep writing. If you want to know how to become an overnight success, then read, read, read and learn a thing or two about the world of written words.
