Friday’s upcoming events for authors

Learn how to monetize your site/blog without ads and study the ingredients of a great incentive/report when I interview Phyllis Zimbler Miller on the next Published & Profitable free Tuesday teleseminar interview.

Phyllis Zimbler Miller has an M.B.A. from The Wharton School, and is co-founder of the social media marketing company Miller Mosaic Power Marketing. She offers coaching and  training in social marketing, plus adds frequent blog posts & Tweets.

Master the sales-building free report

My first reaction upon discovering Phyllis’ great report & sign-up incentive, How to Monetize Your Site/Blog Without Ads, was, This is something I have to share with Published & Profitable friends and members!

I immediately contacted Phyllis and asked if I could use her report as a example of author best promoting practices and analyze the persuasion techniques she used when writing it.

During the call, I’ll be drawing attention to specific sentences and paragraphs in the report, asking her to describe specific passages in the context of her goals and objectives. Everyone on the call will receive a copy of the report, plus a worksheet for taking notes during the call. (You can also download the report right now.)

What makes a list-building incentive great?

There are two reasons I am enthusiastic about bringing this report to the attention of Published & Profitable friends and members:

• Credible dose of reality. Instead  of the exaggerated claims for profits often found online, Phyllis’s report provides a realistic look at what can reasonably be expected.
• Selling by giving. Several years ago, Alex Mandossian introduced me to the concept of reciprocity, the first of the 6 most powerful human motivators described in Robert Cialdini’s Influence: The Power of Persuasion.

Many free reports offered online promise too much, sell too much, and fail to deliver. How to Monetize Your Site/blog Without Accepting Ads is a rare exception. It has a lot of lessons to teach, which is why I invited Phyllis Zimbler Miller to be my guest on a Published & Profitable Tuesday Topic.
