One thing I know: we live in an abundant Universe. There is more than enough for everyone.

Another thing I know: you won’t get booked or get clients or sell books if you don’t market yourself.

Last thing I know (for the sake of this argument): most people – even accomplished speakers, coaches, and authors – are terrible marketers. Especially those with a passion for their cause. They can tell you everything you want to know about the cause, but they often have a hard time convincing people to donate money, volunteer, or promote the cause to others. They mistakenly believe their passion alone will infuse others to share it. Sometimes it does, but generally speaking, the causes that succeed are the ones that have passionate promoters who know the importance of implementing smart marketing campaigns.

Marketing is not rocket science. But it does require a plan and a boatload of action. It also requires creativity, finesse, and attention to detail.

Everybody is good at something. Most people, in fact, forget how good they are at what they do because they do it so naturally and easily. If you have an expertise in something – ANYTHING – that will help make Planet Earth a better place, it’s really incumbent upon you to share your knowledge with the world. For one thing, we can always use more qualified teachers. Secondly, it’s one of the best ways to create wealth in today’s world.

Let’s face it. Unless you’re a rock legend or the billionaire owner of a software monolith, you're probably not going to be selected as Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for your work to end malaria and feed the world. And unless you're a tech geek with lots and lots of disposable income, you’re probably not going to create the next Twitter or iPhone or blockbuster film. That doesn't mean, however, that your mission and message are unimportant. In fact, they are vital. You CAN change the world, but only if you can package your knowledge to reach the people who thirst for it.

The problem is that most speakers and coaches are very good at speaking and coaching – they’re just not necessarily  all that accomplished at creating strategic marketing plans that actually work to attract their ideal clients or writing books that reach the audiences they want and deserve. This is not a slight – as I just said, we’re all naturally good at  specific things; likewise, there are other areas where we tend to need professional support. (Ask my niece about my math skills if you want personal proof from me!)

Are you a speaker or coach who doesn't have a book yet? Isn't it time you finally wrote it? A book will give you credibility you've never had before. You can use it as an uberbusiness card, and use it to open doors that have, up till now, remained closed. You can use it as a bonus product for affiliate relationships. You can use it as a superior lead generator at the top of your product funnel.

Creating that book is easier than you might think. You need to know just 3 things: (a) what your message is, (b) who your audience is, and (c) why you need to tell your story. The rest – the editing, book production, marketing, etc. – is the easy part. But no one else on earth can manufacture the passion and knowledge that you, alone, possess. Write | Market | Design is the writing, editing, presentation, design, and marketing solution for socially conscious speakers, coaches, and authors.

We live in an abundant Universe. There’s more than enough for everyone out there. Because I so adamantly believe in the Law of Attraction, I don’t generally speak in terms of competition – it’s  just more natural for me to think of the others in my industry as colleagues. But the speaker who’s going to get the gig … the coach who will earn 6 figures their first year … the author who’s going to crack the best-seller list … is the one who knows how to stand out among some very crowded fields.

If you want help with writing, exceptional editing, first-rate design, and solid marketing tools that will position you to be the leader in your niche and help you share your passion with the world, you’ve come to the right place.
