Monday Morning Marketing Tip – August 30, 2010

This week’s focus:
We live in a visually-oriented society, and you need to consider the lowest common denominator of your audience. Thus, it’s important to consider ways to make your message memorable. For example, using visual aids and word pictures makes it easier for everyone to understand the benefits of your book.

Alan Weiss – author of How to Establish a Unique Brand in the Consulting Profession

You’ve spent years honing your craft, attending workshops, polishing prose, and chasing the elusive ideal of “great writing.” And yet, when the book launches, sales stall.
