Using OPR for your book marketing

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

You have probably heard the term OPM, as it is applied in Real Estate.
It stands for Other People’s Money, and it is a form of leverage.
The idea is you borrow money to purchase a property and you pay back the loan from the income of the property. You have invested other people’s money, and you keep the profit above the expense of paying back the loan.
But leverage doesn’t just work in real estate.
Leverage is one of the best ways to speed up nearly all processes in life.
This includes your life as an author.
You can choose to figure out everything yourself (as almost all of us do at some point).
Or you can choose to skip past large amounts of time figuring things out on your own, and see what the experts are doing.
I call it OPR: Other People’s Research.
For instance, if someone is launching books for people full time, they probably have a pretty good grasp of what is currently working in regards to …
Book Promotion Sites that work
Getting Reviews
Building an Email list from inside your book
Timing of promotions during a launch
That is why I no longer test these things on my own.
I look at what other experts are doing and mimic them.
I am talking about those who I know are successful and currently doing the work – not those who did something years ago and haven’t done anything lately.
That is why I encourage you to watch Paul Brodie’s Book Marketing Secrets training before it disappears tonight (midnight Central Time).
Paul is launching books for clients month in and month out, so he knows what is working today.
There is no optin, just the video on a page. You also have control of the video, so you can skip to the parts you are interested in.

The Golfer’s Guide to Book Marketing

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

If you have ever played golf, and missed a putt, you have heard something like the following expression: Those short shots count the same as the long ones.
Meaning, if it takes two strokes to get the ball 300 yards down the fairway, and 4 short putts on the green, that is still a 6.
Even if the last 4 were only each two foot shots.
That is the frustrating thing about golf.
And also the beauty, because if you can get good at your short game, that is more than half the battle.
The same goes for books.
Think of the writing, formatting, and all the other things that go into a book are your long game.
They can all go for naught if your short game isn’t up to speed.
The book marketing piece is your wedge and putter (your short game).
If you leave your short game to chance, it will ruin the entire outing for you.
That is why I encourage you to register now, and attend the Book Marketing Secrets training today at 1 pm eastern time/noon central.
We have a lot of people registered and it is going to be AWESOME!
If you have ever thought:
you can be a #1 Best Selling Author, or
that you should be the go-to expert in your field, or
you wish there was a proven way to market your book successfully, or
that there was an easier way to build a high-quality email list…
… you will be in the right place today.

The Lost Art of Removing A Loose Tooth

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

When I was very young, and losing teeth, there was always a narrative around helping them come out.
Regardless of the kid friendly TV shows I watched, there was one episode about someone tying their tooth to a doorknob and slamming the door to pull it out.
I was never successful with that approach.
But not for a lack of trying.
First off, tying a string around a baby tooth is extremely difficult. There is not a lot of space in your mouth at that age, and the baby tooth itself is usually tiny (mine were).
Second, figuring out the whole door part and having the courage to slam it is extra tricky.
In my case, in our house we had the hollow doors that seemed were probably made out of balsa wood.
So the few times I had the courage to slam them, the door simply stopped when the string reached its limit and gently came back toward me.
I tried the front door once, which was metal, but the string pulled out of my tooth and I chickened out of any subsequent attempts.
Pulling a tooth that way appeared to be a myth, based on my testing.
A couple of days ago, as I sat in my home office, I heard some screams and commotion coming from the other end of the house.
Little Ray came running to tell me they had successfully pulled my seven-year-old Isabella’s front tooth with a string tied to a doorknob. What? That works?
Turns out they used floss wrapped around the tooth a couple of times, and they solved the slamming of the door dilemma by her brother handling that part. So floss and an eager to help older brother are the secret.
It turns out; you are never too old to learn something new.
You just might be too old to use it on your baby teeth. Leap. Love. Grow.
Ray Brehm
You are never too old to learn more about publishing, book marketing, writing and a slew of other skills.
That is why I love the $49 Write Publish Profit stack, available for just a short time. It is over $9000 worth of courses, books, and tools. Check it out when you are done seeing if you can wrap floss around that tooth. https∶//ray.fm/wpp40 (http://email.e.berserkermail.com/c/eJxFzj1rwzAUheFfY43i6lq5lgYNTkhooYRm6qzP2MSOVdml1L–6lQ4w5ke3mASpiCRjQYBBWgkBAmAXPBLT3A-Ug_9SSvVdY2EyF0sayyPWGY7TtwvMxtMar3upNaE1ToAJHBSUUw6CUJvLZvMsG15bdq-wUtdsT88zfV85yyBxT_rxa6DuV7br-N0vu15vrn88Umn9-6N-eW5Wb-9BkNCOhcokghSxDYE4Q-ASrFiqumm5Y58SY9dPWvsbvP43_kL6whHbQ)

Can you create a back end to your book simply by curating content?

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting my friend Cary Richards.
We jumped on a Zoom call and talked about our backgrounds.
He told me how he always wanted to run his own online business, but did not know what to do (other than work on the books he had self-published).
Then he learned about curating bundles.
A bundle is essentially material sourced from multiple experts in a niche, packaged into one product, at a “price no one can refuse”.
When I looked at the price of the bundle he was asking me to participate in, I wondered how he could possibly make any money from it.
The secret is pretty simple.
First off, he focuses on the quality of the content for the buyer, and then helping each content creator grow their audience.
So there is a huge upside for the buyer and content creator who donates.
The buyer gets an incredible bundle of products and services for a small price tag.
The content creator gets new leads for his or her business, as well as the ability to make commissions promoting the bundle.
But when I discovered each launch of the bundle did well over 6 figures, it blew me away.
My mind started racing. I figured… If he is doing 6 figures per launch, and does not have to create any of the content on his own, that is really impressive.
If you do multiple launches a year (6-12), well, you do the math.
You can do extremely well as a curator.
You can build a business by simply curating good content for your audience. Leap. Love. Grow.

The Insult That Made A Man Out of Mac

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Hi Blog,

I was looking through some old boxes the other day, and there it was…

My _CHARLES ATLAS “DYNAMIC TENSION”_ book.

It is the earliest example of me paying for an information product. It was a 32-page, illustrated book on building muscles the natural way (with no weights), in 15 minutes a day!

Though it was not really a book.

It was basically an envelope full of loose pages (letter size, 8.5 x 11), that showed all the Charles Atlas exercises.

But I still loved it.

I remember I had saved that ad for over two decades before I bought it. It was too pricey (around $50) to buy when I was just a kid.

The ad itself was mostly a cartoon, and one of the most famous ads of all time.

It features a guy, Mac, sitting at the beach with his girlfriend (or a girl who was a friend), when some big guy kicks sand on them.

When Mac confronts the guy, the guy tells Mac…

_“I’d smash your face, only you’re so skinny you might dry up and blow away.”_

So Mac goes away and buys the Atlas program.

Later, he comes back to the beach, punches the bully in the face, and is the hero to the girl.

The framework for this story is probably similar to anyone who has undertaken the goal of writing a book.

We will all have to battle our bullies and self-doubt. We work not only on our art, but also on ourselves and our mindset, in order to win in the end.

Interestingly, the bully many times is our own inner voice telling us we aren’t good enough.

In fact, the only reason external bullies can get away with anything at all is that our inner voice is on their side.

I have found two ways to ensure winning this battle:

* Continuous learning * Execution (sometimes before you are ready)

There are no Jedi Mind Tricks required when you up your knowledge and get experience by executing.

Then you can come back like Mac and tell the bullies to_ begone._

_Leap. Love. Grow._

The Little Rascals tried all these sales tactics but one

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Hi Blog,

I used to love watching the original Little Rascals when I was growing up.

No, I was not growing up in the 1940s. But we had a local channel when I was little that aired the old Little Rascal reruns, and they immediately attracted me.

The Little Rascals were the epitome of young entrepreneurs and experimenters.

There is one episode in particular I will never forget.

Its name is _Waldo’s Last Stand._

Waldo has a lemonade stand, and the gang wants to help him sell more lemonade.

They taste it, and Darla thinks it needs more sugar.

Then they come up with the ultimate entrepreneurial solution.

They will build a make-shift night club, where people can come and watch the entertainment free, but they will charge 2¢ for lemonade.

As they start on their idea, Spanky says, “We are all gonna be rich!”

The night club is really cool, and Darla is the headline act (singing).

Alas, the production only attracts one customer, a new boy named Froggy.

They treat him like royalty, and then get to work on selling him lemonade.

First, they offer him a plate of free saltines (crackers). Next, they perform a song about dryness and thirst.

As a last resort, they secretly place a heater under his seat.

Nothing gets him to buy a glass of lemonade.

Finally, they ask him why he didn’t buy, and he responds that he…

_“Doesn’t have any money and it is just too hot in the barn.”_

Too bad they didn’t just ask if he had any money in the first place!

If only they had email lists back then, and they could communicate with a large audience and find the people who were interested in lemonade, and get them to attend the free show.

Of course, then it wouldn’t have been so darn funny.

_Leap. Love. Grow._

P.S. One thing for sure is, Spanky would have been a great pitchman for this month’s Youru.tv framework, EMAIL FOR AUTHORS.

He always had great ideas, especially (if you know the episode) where they built this huge fire engine to impress Darla.

See if EMAIL FOR AUTHORS is a fit below. It is not just for lemonade stands.
