Word Fu: How To Sell Your Words

If you’re reading this sales pages, chances are good that you’re a non-fiction writer or some sort. Whether that means you’re a copywriter, or a self-help writer, or a freelance writer of another sort, chances are good that you’re here because you want more business, and you’re not sure how to get it. Well, marketing is a very good way to get it, but most people think marketing is big and scary and not for them.

But have no fear; IttyBiz has come to your rescue. We are here to give you marketing advice specifically targeted towards you, a writer who is very good at what you do, but not sure how to let the rest of the world know that.

The other day, Megan and I were sitting around talking about marketing (our lives are very exciting) and we realized that there’s a metric ton of marketing advice out there, but a lot of it is pretty general. Someone who’s new to the game might look at it all and think, “Okay, but how does that apply to me? I know how to do my shit, but how to I convince people of that so they send me money?”

Well, since we here at IttyBiz are not new to the game, and we do know about marketing, we figured we could help you out. You know your shit, and we know our shit, and together we will help you figure out how to sell your shit for lots and lots of money.

What exactly are we offering?

I’m so glad you asked!

What you will get for your hard-earned cash is an hour of audio in which Megan asks burning questions about writing, marketing and running an ittybiz. Very important things that you can do to help the right people find you, like you, and want to buy from you.

• What happens if I get writer’s block and can’t “perform” for my audience?
• How do I sell my writing without burning out or hating it?
• Is freelance writing a good way to go online? Can I make any money at it? Is it hard to get established?
• How do I get my name out there to let people know that I’m available to write for them?
• How much do I need to tailor my unique style to the project I’ve been hired to do?
• How do I decide between traditional publishing, self-publishing (Lulu.com and the like), or ebooks to get my writing out in the world?
• If I go with an ebook, how do I decide whether to give it away, or sell it?
• Once I’m published, how (and where) do I sell the thing?
• How do I figure out who my target market is, and how do I choose one that doesn’t piss me off?

And it’s $49. Cool, huh? All of that marketing advice, plus Megan’s and my witty antics, for less than your monthly latte budget. Not too shabby.

PS – We really think you’re awesome. That’s why we put this course together for you. If it weren’t for the writers in the world, our sales pages and blogs and everything would just suck. We figure the least we can do is help you get your stuff out there in the world in a friendly and non-terrifying way.
