In this episode Dean & I talk about the importance of your book title and how to amplify your success by using some of the ingrained human triggers talked about in Robert Cialdini's new book Pre-suasion.

By selecting a title that allows someone to identify themselves as a potential client, 'it sounds like this book could help me...' and using the title and subheading to plant the seed of the solution you can offer, you'll not only start to identify previously invisible leads, but also begin to predispose people to engage in a conversation with you.

'The Adult Acne Cure' and 'Email Mastery' both begin to offer the benefit of the solution rather than just an improved process.

One of the most successful campaigns we've seen moves people from the below Email Mastery ad, to the book, to an email conversation... All perfectly congruent with the message of mastering email and building value at each stage.

This week Betsey & I answer some of your questions... at least that was the plan. We end up deep diving 2 issues that come up time & again in the questions we field:

• How long should my book be?
• How much should I editing should I do?

This is a hugely valuable show for anyone who has had a book on their 'to do' list.  We focus on the purpose and benefits of writing a book to start a conversation with potential clients.

This week I'm joined by Betsey Vaughn again as we discuss two ideas for creating content. Using other people's expertise to add value to your potential customers and leveraging external changes like regulation or technology changes to be first to market and provide potential customers with the information they are looking for.

A different type of episode this week. Today I want to share an interview Dean recorded with Joe Polish and Tucker Max earlier this year. This is a great call looking at two different book companies with similar processes, but very different objectives.

There are some great pointers for anyone looking to outline and target their book and a real discussion on the most effective approach to generate more business. Do you want to be rich or famous?
