My first webinar is about giving webinars! How’s that for synchronicity?

Join us when VIP Author Talks interviews Lee Salz, author of Stop Speaking For Free! The Ultimate Guide to Making Money with Webinars. Lee will explain how you can get paid for your expertise by delivering attendee-funded webinars. Your presentation may be virtual, but the dollars are real!

According to Lee, the right to free speech was never meant to prohibit experts from generating income through speaking. Yet, many authors seem to interpret “free speech” as a mandate to give away their specialized expertise for free, with exposure as their only compensation. But, exposure doesn’t pay the bills.

In this class, you will learn:

• The fine line between free and for-fee webinars
• The keys to selecting saleable content
• The biggest disconnect between speakers and prospective attendees
• How to select a title for your webinar
• How to write a webinar description copy that sells
• Who attends webinars and how to reach them
• How to select a webinar technology company

Time: 8:00pm Eastern Time (7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific).

Did you know that digital publishing offers many opportunities other than getting your book on Kindle, Nook and iPad?

Writing and publishing ebooks to distribute from your website or on the Internet has been a profitable venue for smart writers for years–long before ereaders were ever available.

But not everyone who has authored an ebook has made money. Like most business ventures, knowing what NOT to do and having a proven system are the keys to success.

Join me when VIP Author Talks interviews Ellen Violette, The eBook Coach. Ellen will identify the biggest mistakes people make when authoring an ebook and tell you how to avoid them. She will also share tips and strategies for ebook publishing success.

In this class you will learn:

• Why eBooks are a MUST-HAVE for a successful Internet Business
• How to eliminate writer’s block
• How to take the guesswork out of the process so that you are guaranteed to actually write an ebook every time you want to!
• How to avoid the twin dragons that stop so many people from becoming successful authors: perfectionism and procrastination
• How to create the time you need to author your ebook
• How to write ebooks with minimum effort for maximum profits
• And much, much more!

Time: 8:00pm Eastern Time (7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific).

VIP Author Talks with Shelley Lieber

Your mother may have told that “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” but people do it all the time. And, you don’t have to be an publishing industry expert to spot a poorly done, unprofessional cover that screams “self-published.” Most people can tell immediately if the book looks like it is worth picking up in a bookstore, or clicking the “Buy” button on a web page.

Join Shelley Lieber as she shares the experts’ secrets and tips about how to:

• Get endorsements for your front and back cover
• Write copy that will invite interest and sell the book
• Decide whether to use a graphic, illustration or photo on your front cover
• Hire the professionals you need to get the job done right
• Combine all the elements (design, copy, graphics) for a winning look

A Message from Shelley Lieber, VIP Authors CEO & Founder

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope I’m among the first to wish you a happy, healthy holiday filled with joy.

Our family’s Thanksgiving tradition is to go around the table and let each person express gratitude. We started years ago when my
children were young. Thanksgiving came on the heels of my son’s and my niece’s birthdays, with Chanukah sometimes only a week or two
away. Because they were so young, the children started to associate the holidays with gift getting, culminating with my daughter blowing out the Chanukah candles, thinking it was a birthday party (she was only three).

So, we began our gratitude-giving tradition to help them understand that holidays are as much about giving as receiving. We continue it to this day, whether we are together or celebrating at tables spread across the country. We make sure we call each family member who is away so we can still connect and give thanks together.

A Special Thanksgiving Offer

I’d like to include you this year in my gratitude giving. I thank you for being a VIP Author Inner Circle member or taking a class or consulting with me this year. You are source of inspiration for me and I appreciate your participation in our work together.
