[caption id="attachment_5342" align="alignleft" width="200"]Judith Briles Ashography Event Photography[/caption] Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Judith Briles is today’s special guest.  She is known, the world over, as “The Book Shepherd”.  She takes folks that have books inside them and Shepherds them through the entire process so that, when they reach the other end, they have a book that is well done, and one that does them proud.  Judith pays close attention to detail, and she loves to help authors and other folks get their message out into the marketplace.  Please welcome Judith to the show…

Promise: How to Create a "One Sheet"

What we’re going to talk about today is how to get an author in front of whoever they are trying to get in front of.  So, my promise is to show you how to create a “one sheet” that’s slick, clicks, and ticks.  This could be an author one sheet, a book one sheet, an expertise one sheet, a speaker one sheet, or any kind of one sheet that you can slap onto your website or print out and take anywhere in order to extend, expand, promote your book, your speaking, yourself, or whatever it may be that you’re trying to get out to the world. [bctt tweet="A 'one sheet' is a one-page document that you use to address whatever pain your target market has." via="no"] You will deliver a solution to this problem, whether that’s with your service, with your book, or with your expertise.

Nina AmirWelcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results!  Today’s special guest is writer, author, and book marketer extraordinaire, Nina Amir.  She is known as the “Inspiration to Creation Coach”, and she is also a book, blog, and author coach as well as the creator of the proprietary author training curriculum for writers and other coaches.  Nina also founded the National Non-Fiction Writing month and Non-Fiction Writers University.  Additionally, she is one of only 300 elite certified, high-performance coaches working around the world, and she is the only one specifically working with writers.  Please welcome Nina to the show…

Promise: How to Find Your Passion and Be Inspired

First, thank you for having me on the show.  It’s an honor.  The reason you should listen today is because people need to get inspired.  If you want to create anything, you need to be inspired, and again, I am known as the “Inspiration to Creation Coach”.  I am passionate about helping people create what they want in their life, whether that’s a book, or a blog, or a business, or a new relationship, or more productivity.  It doesn’t really matter to me what they want to create, but I think that we all have this desire to create something. I think it’s important to be inspired because the way that you achieve what I call, “inspired results,” is to take inspired action.  You have to have that purpose and passion, combined, to actually get inspired to take some action.  If you don’t take action, you won’t get the results.

What I do is I try to work with people to find their passion, whatever it is that they are passionate about.  If we have to discover that, then we will.  We combine that with our purpose.  I think that everyone has a purpose.  The overriding purpose, I think, is really to be authentic and connected to whatever you think. Let that flow through so that we are just out best selves.  I think that’s, sort of, the overriding purpose that we have in our lifetime.

Connecting with Nina

You can find me at NinaAmir.com, and I’m everywhere in social media, just by Nina Amir.  So it’s pretty easy to find me.  I work one-on-one with people going through the certified high-performance coaching curriculum to help them to level up.  You know, we talk about peak performance, which is, you get into that moment of flow and then it’s gone.  It’s like climbing to the summit of a mountain, and then sliding all of the way back down and having to climb back up. High performance is like climbing to the summit, and seeing the next one, and climbing up to that.  It’s about leveling up all of the time, in every area of our life.  As we go through the pillars, it affects us in so many ways.  So, whether you are writing or creating something else, it doesn’t really matter, high performance is going to help. I do work with people one-on-one, but I also have a high-performance writer group coaching program.  That’s where I bring in 10 or 15 people at a time, and we go through the same curriculum. It’s all about these pillars that we talked about.  The five pillars of high performance.  We go through those, and it’s amazing, the results that people get from it.  I put that in place so that it would be a little more affordable for people to work with me.  You can check this out at RealFastResults.com/hpw.

Nick ZelingerWelcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Nick Zelinger is today’s special guest.  He is a publishing and graphic design extraordinaire who has put together many covers for bestselling books and covers that have won awards.  He’s won awards for his designs as well.  It’s important, as an author, to know what to watch out for when it comes to having a cover designed, and that’s what Nick is here to help you understand.  Welcome to the show Nick…

Promise: How to Create a Book Cover that Sells

Thanks for having me.  First of all, if you are thinking of publishing a book, or if you have already published a book and you aren’t getting good sales or have gotten some bad reviews, you may want to consider hiring a professional book designer.  The tendency today in independent publishing, self-publishing, is to do it yourself, and that’s, for lack of a better term, a crap-shoot.  You are going to be in the wild wild west of not knowing what you want to do, not meeting the printer’s specifications, and just not having a very professional design.

I think that if you’re serious about publishing your book… This is a business.  Independent publishing, or self-publishing, is a business.  You’ve got to treat it that way.  To do that, you’ve got to hire professionals.  I would say, first and foremost, for authors who design their own books, or want to, take a hard look at your skills, and be honest, and step back a little bit because you really do need to be very objective about your goals.  It’s a profession, and you get what you pay for in this industry, so you really do need to hire a professional. Do people really judge a book by its cover? Absolutely, and in fact, it’s the gateway to your book. [bctt tweet="Research shows that we have less than 10 seconds before a potential buyer makes a decision on a book cover" via="no"]It’s a subjective thing, but it’s something that makes them want to go to a bookshelf, pick it up, and look at the back, or click on the thumbnail at Amazon to see what the “Look Inside” feature is.  So you’ve got a very, very short timespan to really capture someone’s attention, no matter what the genre.

If anyone needs to contact me, you can do so at NZGraphics.com.  I’m always happy to consult with anyone about their books.  I live and breathe “book design,” so I’m happy to talk to anyone about book design.  My website contains a virtual portfolio of my work.  My authors and clients have gotten over 100 international and national book awards over the last 20 years, so I’m kind of backed into this business as a graphic designer.  I’ve learned my way through a lot of errors and mistakes, but it’s an exciting industry to be in.  I wish a lot of authors the best of luck with their endeavors in this.

Promise: Top Seven Ways for Generating Sales on Your Kindle Books

First of all, I’m excited to be here.  I’ve published nearly a thousand books as a publishing company.  So, what we are going to give you are our top seven ways for generating sales, especially if you have an eBook/Kindle book that’s already out there and it’s working, or even if you’re working on your first.  These are the seven things that we do in order to build sales that last for the long term. Here’s the thing.  I actually got my start with Amazon’s Advantage Program, which was the program that they had way before Kindle Direct Publishing came in place.  It’s actually still around to this day, if you go to Amazon.com/Advantage.  That program was specifically for authors of physical books, where Amazon would order 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 copies of your book at a time.  You would ship them out to Amazon, and they would then fulfill your orders and ship the books out as your orders came in.

Shortly after that, I got invited to be part of Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform, which was, I want to say, seven years ago now.  Almost seven years ago, so I was one of the first pioneers, and like I said, we’ve sold hundreds of thousands of different books.  We have almost 1,000 books that we’ve published under our publishing company, and we do extremely well, every single month, just publishing books on Amazon. [bctt tweet="If your book sales are lagging, or if they are not what you want them to be, I can hep! " via="no"] I’ve got some strategies to help you turbo-charge that process. We’ve tested, literally, hundreds of different things over the years, and I can definitely provide you with the advice you need.

What Kelly is really excellent at is helping authors, information product creators, and entrepreneurs to utilize their time more productively.  One of the ways that she has been able to do this is by finding useful tools, mastering them, and teaching her clients how to use them.  In this particular episode, you are going to learn about a couple of her favorites.  Kelly, we really appreciate you being here…

Chris CumbyWelcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Reviewing today’s content is going to be really great for you and the development of your career, regardless of what niche you are in.  Whether you are an author, a speaker, or in information product development, etc., the information found herein will work for you. This material was originally presented by Chris Cumby.  He has been coaching and advising clients on business strategies and personal development for over 14 years.  Cumby got his start as a sales and marketing consultant, but he took on a much broader scope of business as he began to identify what disconnected businesses from their clients.  He now helps people to make these connections happen, and he does this by helping businesses grow through an extension of personal growth, themselves. Chris’ clients have achieved greater success in their professional lives since he’s learned to advise them this way.  With this realization, Chris has had a better opportunity to branch out and offer consultancy services that benefit each person individually, not simply the organization.  As a matter of fact, in 2003, Chris founded Integrity Marketing Inc., which is a direct sales consulting platform that is focused on creating new possibilities and new revenue streams for his American and Canadian clients.  Integrity Marketing has consistently helped its clients achieve broader market shares, increased revenues, and greater profits.

Chris has also written a fantastic book, which is The Success Playbook, and he’s been able to develop a brand around that.  The subject matter of this book/brand also centers upon personal enrichment.  This has allowed Chris’ reach to expand internationally, and the book itself has helped many people broaden their horizons and better develop themselves, and in turn, become more successful.  When it comes down to it, the core of Chris’ expertise lies in working closely with people, probably just like you, and helping people design, implement, and execute their personal development and sales strategies in combination.  Please welcome Chris to the program…
