Being Cute (and Safe) Online

This session

No, you don’t have to dance on TikTok to sell books (unless you want to, and dancing’s your jam). But you do need a social media presence. In this workshop, we’ll explore the ways to build a social media identity that is authentically, uniquely you. The same way I’ve built my identity.

And, you just might sell some books and have fun at the same time.

If you were to visit my Instagram or Facebook pages, or my website,

  • What might you expect of me as an author?
  • Of the experience you’ll have when you read one of my books?
  • Of what it’s like when you follow me and I pop into your feed?

TOPIC   |   Optimizing Amazon Ads

The Art of Copywriting

Selling books is hard…
…especially if your prospective buyers don’t read the description.
Do you know how to hook a reader?
Typical descriptions convert at 1:30. That means you have to pay for 30 clicks to get one new reader. That’s expensive. With proper copywriting, you can get that down to 1:8 or better.
Would you rather pay for 8 or 30 clicks?
This presentation will be about the art of copywriting, but also what you need to know to “do the math” to understand if you’re profitable.
Data and Copywriting go hand in hand.
