Dan Poynter’s Para Promotion Program | Value $497

Discover the Secrets of Book Promotion with Personal Guidance and Proven, Weekly Learning Opportunities.

Dan Poynter’s Para Promotion Program celebrates books and honors authors by bringing public attention to your books.

The Para Promotion Program is a series of book promotion projects the author can accomplish without leaving home. The weekly assignments show the author what to do to reach his or her target audience.

For both fiction and nonfiction, there are readers who are as fascinated about your subject/category as you are. This program shows you how to find them—all over the world.

Each week, authors receive a book promotion assignment from Dan Poynter. Each of the 40 book-promotion projects takes the author anywhere from five to 180 minutes to complete. The program not only shows the author how to promote his or her current book, it is a crash course in book promotion that can be applied to future books.

This program does not recite traditional book promotion. It is guided by Dan Poynter’s exciting, proven program of the future.

Meanwhile, Program PR expert Barbara Gaughen is spinning her electronic Rolodex to get notice for your books. Gaughen (“gone”) has been in the public relations business for decades and she focuses on books.

Dan Poynter’s Para Promotion Program is not an overwhelming list of projects for authors; it is a collection of individual lessons with full instructions and personal guidance by successful industry experts.

And there is an added bonus: authors who understand how to reach their audience tend to write books their readers want. They begin to understand who their readers are, what their readers want and how to reach their buyers. The Para Promotion program makes authors more successful.

The cost of the Program is $497. The value is far higher.

Dan Poynter has been in the book publishing business since 1969 and has written more than 125 books. He is often referred to as a “book futurist.”

The Para Promotion Program debuts on November 1, 2011, may be started at any time—and runs for 40 weeks.
