Promise: The Power and Value of Personalized Media

Thank you so much for having me. It’s a pleasure to be with you.  The big thing that we’re going to take away from today’s episode is the power and the value of personalized media, and the how and why this works for your audience in today’s space.  And, more importantly, why you need to do it in order to stand out from the crowd.  We all know the statistics, right?  It’s something like 3,200 marketing messages a day, and we are aware of 40 and can remember three.  Those stats are always changing, but that’s pretty darn close.  So, that’s what we’re looking to cover and talk about today.

Promise: How to Publish Guestbooks

We’re going to reveal a little, hidden gem that we found through our publishing business.  We found this little gem, this little niche, doing guest books on Amazon.  It’s really an underused niche, which is great.  That’s what you want to look for, a niche where there’s not tons of people in it already.  It’s not super-saturated. [bctt tweet="There seems to be a demand for these books, but there’s a relatively low supply. " username="danielhall"] So, we found this little gem, and we started publishing guestbooks.  We have a bunch of other journals out there, and recipe books, and daily planners.  They do alright, but this gem of finding guestbooks seems like it has done better than some of those other niches.  So that’s what I want to tell people about today, and just kind of walk them through how they can get involved in this niche of doing guestbooks.

Kathryn GuylayWelcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast! Today you are in for a real treat.  The special guest is Kathryn Guylay.  She comes to the publishing industry with a background in management and consulting as well as non-profit management.  As a numbers person, she actually received her MBA in Austin, Texas, at UT. One of the coolest things about Kathryn is the fact that after graduating, she went on to work for dozens of multinational corporations across many diverse industries.  She stumbled into publishing many years later, after writing her first book.  It is titled Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons from the Slopes.  Since then, she has written two children’s books, and her latest non-fiction book was released just a couple of weeks ago.  It is Look before You Leap: The Smart Author’s Guide to Avoiding the Money Pit and Achieving Financial Success in Publishing.

After listening to Jack’s interview at RealFastResults.com/21, you should download my survey, which you can access at MakeWellnessFun.com/authorsurvey.  Then, I’ve got a great website called MakePublishingFun.com.  There’s a podcast there for aspiring authors, and there’s a summit.  In that summit, we talk about preparing for your journey.  So, it’s got some great tips.  It also goes all the way through the publishing journey, talking also about that backend side.  Again, it doesn’t end with the book. I’ve also got a new course out that kind of goes through this OODA loop thing.  If you are just getting started and want to get on a fast-paced course, like one-on-one, but really get up to speed on how the publishing industry works, you can also access that at MakePublishingFun.com.  I hope that you’ll come check it out!
