How to Orchestrate a USA Today Bestseller Campaign with Alinka Rutkowska
Hello! Welcome to the RealFastResults.com podcast! If you are publishing books, and you want those books to actually sell, you’re going to want to stick around. Alinka Rutkowska is today’s special guest. Alinka has had a lot of successes in her own publishing journey. She is, in fact, a top-100 Amazon bestselling author in the “Business & Money” category, and she has sold more than 100,000 copies of her books. Her book creation process has also been showcased in Entrepreneur magazine.
Alinka is the CEO of a small press, called Leader’s Press, and she has launched all of its titles to bestseller campaign status. That’s remarkable! She’s also the founder of LibraryBub, which connects independent authors with 10,000+ libraries, to help get their books into libraries. Alinka has also been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, Writers Digest, and a whole host of other media. Recently, she has orchestrated a project in which a number of successful authors collaborated to create the book, Write and Grow Rich.
How to Get Write and Grow Rich
If you’ve been following the RealFastResults.com podcast, then you know that many of the authors of Write and Grow Rich have been interviewed. Twenty-four coauthors worked together to create the book. Each of these authors shared their knowledge in support of a basic premise, which is that if you have the ability to write, you can transform that ability into money in your bank account.

This book was Alinka’s “brainchild,” because she’s the one that put this project together, and the goal of the entire team is to have the book make the USA Today Bestseller List. Therefore, the creators of this show would like to invite you to head over to RealFastResults.com/wagr, where you can pick up the book, Write and Grow Rich. By the way, if you do this around the time the book is being launched (around October 2, 2018) you should be able to purchase the book for only $0.99.
Not only are you going to receive a great value because the book is really, really great, but if you purchase it now, you’re going to receive a host of different bonuses. All in all, these bonuses carry a $5,000 value, and this includes Daniel Hall’s own New York Times bestselling covers. This particular portion of the bonus currently sells for $120 by itself. You’ll get access to this part of the bonus, plus a whole lot of other very valuable materials that are meant to help you successfully publish and generate revenue doing so. Now that you know who the mastermind behind this great work is, please welcome Alinka to the show…
I started by reaching out to my closest collaborators who were sharing this dream.

How to Write Your Book Even If You Have Disabilities With Nina G.
Hello! Welcome to this very special edition of the RealFastResults.com podcast! Today, we are really, really excited to have Nina G. on deck. There are a variety of reasons for her to be presenting. Nina is a stand-up comedian from the San Francisco Bay Area, but what makes her different is that she is also a stuttering stand-up comedian. She’s a disabilities activist, a storyteller, a children’s book author, and an educator as well. All around, she’s a lot of fun, and she uses humor to help people confront and understand social justice issues, such as disability, diversity, and equity.
When she isn’t performing at comedy clubs, like the Punch Line San Francisco or the Laugh Factory, she is playing colleges or presenting as a keynote speaker to children with disabilities. She also trains professionals, and she is part of a comedy troupe called The Comedians with Disabilities Act, which brings laughter and awareness to audiences of all ages across the country.

Nina is the author of a children’s book about learning disabilities, titled Once Upon an Accommodation. This book helps children and adults advocate for their rights as a person with a disability. Additionally, she had a one-person show called Going Beyond Inspirational, and it was a comical exploration about growing up with learning and speech disabilities. It debuted in 2015, and it was featured on San Francisco Local Affiliate. Also, in 2015, she was part of the first compilation released by comedians with disabilities, which was created by Nina’s comedy troop, The Comedians with Disabilities Act. Obviously, we are glad to have Nina on the show. Welcome Nina…
Promise: Writing Techniques Everyone Can Use
Thank you so much for having me! What I want people to get out of this is… If you have a learning disability, the written word doesn’t always feel accessible to you. I have ways that I have dealt with it. You have ways that you’ve dealt with it. I think it’s important for people to know how to access being a writer. The other part, for people that don’t have a learning disability, is that the things that work for us work for everybody! They work for people that have English as a second language and are trying to write.

Promise: How to Structure Your Novel
Well, I hope that you will take away the idea that structuring and coming up with a plan before starting to write a novel or a short story, or any kind of fictional work, will save you a tremendous amount of time later on. I’ll show you the specific techniques for structuring your novel so that before you even start writing, you will guarantee that you are going to finish. So, no more writer’s block, and no more getting stuck. You are going to learn the keys to having a firm structure in place for writing fiction too.
Well, I think that any of us who have tried to write fiction have encountered a problem in which we get very excited about an idea, and the idea may be based upon a character, it might be based upon a setting, or it might be a plot idea about something that happens. We sit down and start furiously writing, and then we write the length of a chapter, maybe, and things start to get a little fuzzy. We aren’t quite sure where to go, and we start to get a little bit lost.

There are many reasons why this is very important, but the first reason I have is the most personal and, maybe, psychological. If you think about someone that just happens to stumble on your book that’s on Amazon. What are they going to see first? The first thing they are going to notice will probably be the cover. Their eyes are going to be drawn to it, so you’ve got to have a great cover. The next thing they are going to look at is the title, or the main title. They are going to read that and think, “Is it good? Is it interesting?”
The next thing might be the subtitle, but the second or third thing that they are going to look at is that little star and that little number, or maybe the big number that’s next to that star, that tells a person what’s going on with the book. They are going to look to see, “Does this book have 5,000 reviews?” Then, they are going to know that this is an offer that has been around a long time, or this is a celebrity… There’s a lot of, uh, promotion going on with this. Or, maybe they’re going to see a couple of hundred and think, “Wow. This book is legit. This is someone that has a fanbase, and it’s a 4 ½ star.”

Negotiations: How to Successfully Negotiate with Difficult People with Greg Williams
Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast! Greg is today’s special guest. He’s known as a master negotiator, and he’s also really good at figuring out body language. Of course, those two skills go hand in hand. Greg has been practicing this art form for more than 30 years. In fact, he spent 20 years studying how body language can affect negotiations.
Over the years, he’s participated in many negotiations within universities and governmental establishments, seminars, schools, municipalities, and industrial settings, and he has even served on a number of corporate, business, and governmental boards. Greg is often sought out for his expertise, and we are thankful to hear what he has to say today. Thanks Greg…

Promise: Successful Negotiations
First of all, thank you for the invite. My tagline is, “You’re always negotiating.” What that means is that the actions you engage in today influences/impacts tomorrow’s potential outcomes. Thus, the better you can negotiate, the greater outcomes you are going to experience, no matter what it is that you’re trying to achieve in life.
You should never want a deal so badly that you are willing to cave in, in order to get some aspect of the deal.
Click To Tweet
First of all, you should always gather as much information about any situation that you’re going to be involved in, prior to your negotiations, as possible. The reason for this is that the more information you gather, the more of a strategy you’ll be able to develop, dependent upon the individual with whom you are negotiating. That’s to say, you can use the exact same strategy that netted the exact outcome that you were seeking in one particular situation, but because the variable happens to be that you are negotiating with a different person, you would then have to use a different set of strategies.

Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing with Pat Iyer
Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast! If you are an author, or an aspiring author, and you are really thinking about writing your first book, or your next book, and you are trying to decide whether to self-publish or go the traditional route, you are in the right place today. Pat Iyer is today’s special guest. She is an entrepreneur and published author who can give you insight on self-publishing vs. traditional publishing.. Please welcome Pat to the show…
Big Promise: Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing
Well, I think that the big promise, as far as I am concerned is that a lot of people have questions about whether they should self-publish or seek out a traditional or indie publisher. I have done both, and I can easily share the pros and the cons of each approach.
Whether you self-publish or traditionally publish, you will be part of the marketing and promotional efforts.
Click To Tweet
I think that before self-publishing became so easy, there really was only one choice, which was to approach a publisher or be approached by a publisher, write up a book proposal, create an outline, a sample chapter, and an analysis of the target market. You’d need to show how your book was different than other books. Those steps are all very important to make sure that you have a viable book, but the difficulty with traditional publishing is that, from an entrepreneurial standpoint, you do a whole lot of work, and you get small royalties in return. However, a traditional publisher, or an indie publisher, can open doors for you that you would have never had opened if you hadn’t been published.

No one says, “Oh, I don’t feel inspired to dig my ditch today,” or “I don’t feel inspired to lay bricks today.” Or, “I’m waiting for some inspiration to come so that I can dig a ditch.” They just show up and work. Somehow, for writers, it’s like, “I’m looking at a blank page. I have writer’s block.” Well, you know, the secretary is filing a ton of insurance forms a day. She doesn’t get “filer’s block,” but somehow we get blocks.

WriteYourBookInAFlash.com. There are no crazy numbers, no 4’s and no 2’s. Nothing that’s like, “Oh my gosh! I wish that I had known that before.” Now you know. Pick an easy title and use keywords.

As you grow your brand, and as you grow as an author, or as an entrepreneur or a business owner, you want to increase authority. Understand that authority is a currency. The more that you have, the more fabulous prizes you can exchange that currency for.

As you work with people who have higher authority and influence than you, this brings you up.

I think most of us write a book because we feel like there’s an impact that we want to make in the world. But, if you don’t have an audience, and no one is willing to promote your book to their audience, again, it’s going to be awfully tough to gain any sort of momentum. So, it really is the rocket fuel that makes everything go as an author. And, I’ll tell you that as you work with people who have higher authority and influence than you, this brings you up. So, the game is now that we just want to associate with high-authority and influential people as much as possible. A great way to do that is through the media or with other digital influencers.

I do a lot of teaching and pro bono work. If you’ll go to UpMyInfluence.com, you can join me on a webinar where I will spend a little bit more time breaking this down. That way, you’ll have some very, very actionable things that you and your team can go out and do to start winning. Everybody wants to work with a winner. I firmly believe that everyone has a message that could possibly impact the world, so our job is simply to turn those people into media stars so they can have every bit of it.
