Heads up! On Tuesday, Nov 17 Author Launch Kit gets the biggest upgrade since we built it. If you haven't heard of it, Author Launch Kit is our book marketing software for nonfiction authors. It scores how easy your book is to find, then gives you a marketing plan and helps writes most of the content you need for it. Here's what's new: - Upgraded discoverability score, so you can find out how well search engines know you and your book(s) - Our brand new Weekly Content Engine, that'll help you stay consistent posting across all your channels - Upgraded media coverage feature giving you fresh media outlets and local places to pitch yourself to, with a tracker to keep tabs on your progress! - Launch playbooks you can follow step by step - And more!....(you knew that was coming) If you're already a member, the upgrade is free. So you just need to log in on the 17th and it's there. With all the work you've done so far already. I'm running two free live trainings right here in Skool that you can see those over on the calendar tab. It'll be the same training each time, so pick the one that works for you. I will be recording it, but I'd love to have you there live!! Let me know in the comments below if you plan on going!

As usual Shane was his awesome self explaining Kit. The description and sales pitch were good. $39 a month seems fair if half of what was promised pans out. Lots of good answers. But I was disappointed when it ended. I thought we were actually going to go through the exercise of setting up a Kit account. Note that Kit (which helps to generate email lists and to automate the process) and ALK (which acts as a marketing manager) are not the same.

I know we have a great group of creatives in the house. I need a font style that is romantic, old world, special - like a keep sake. And for you comedians - no its not Time-New Roman or Helvetica (though I do love a great joke). What might you all suggest? Thanks much.

Hey everyone, I got invited to be on a webinar hosted by our friends over at Kit.com. I wanted to share it here because it's free to attend, and I think everyone here will get a lot of value from it. All the deets are in the graphic attached, and here's the link to register: https://partners.kit.com/bl-workshop Hope to see you there! Oh, and hop on our Monday call today if you want some live book marketing coaching. 😎
