10 Ways to Grow Your Business with a Book
By Stephanie Chandler

1. IMPRESS PROSPECTS - Meeting with a potential client? Bring along a copy of your book. Being an author elevates your credibility, demonstrates your authority in your field and creates a competitive advantage.

2. ATTRACT NEW BUSINESS - Want to land a meeting with a hard-to-reach prospect? Send him/her a copy of your book along with a personal note. The results may surprise you.

3. RAISE YOUR RATES - Because your author status can equate to new clients, media coverage, speaking engagements and a lot more, it can be easy to justify an increase in your rates.

4. GENERATE REFERRALS - I know a family law attorney who sent copies of her parenting book out to marriage therapists all over town. Since therapists were often talking to her potential clients—people going through divorce—she took a chance that the book might make an impression. Her practice quickly became the largest of its kind in her city. Introduce your book to people who are influential in your industry.

5. ATTRACT MEDIA COVERAGE - The media is in constant pursuit of experts for stories and as an author, you have tremendous value to offer. You can send press releases or better yet, contact the media directly. I like to send personal e-mail introductions to reporters, editors and producers (contact information is almost always readily available on websites). Remember that the media needs us as much as we need them!

6. DAZZLE AT TRADE SHOWS - When you host a booth at trade shows, your booth won’t be ordinary once you showcase your book. Prospects and potential alliance partners will be eager to meet the author, especially if you are available to autograph books. Talk about a great way to stand out among the vendors!

7. DEVELOP PROFITABLE PROGRAMS - Whether you ask them to or not, readers will call, write and send e-mail inquiring about how to implement the strategies in your book. Consider developing coaching programs, training packages, workbooks, and information products that compliment your book.

8. CONDUCT SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS - Authors are often invited to speak at trade association meetings, the local Chamber of Commerce, non-profit organizations, corporate functions, conferences and events. Once you have captivated an audience, wrap up your presentation with a special offer for consulting services, training programs and autographed copies of your book.

9. BE A GUEST ON INTERNET RADIO PROGRAMS - Unlike traditional radio where you might be interviewed for 10 minutes, online radio shows, podcasts and teleseminars typically have guests on for up to an hour. An added bonus: listeners are often at their computers ready to buy! To find relevant shows, search Google for keywords and investigate shows archived on iTunes. Also check out sites like www.blogtalkradio.com, www.alltalkradio.net, www.wsradio.com, and www.womensradio.com.

10. SELL LARGE QUANTITIES - Could a trade association purchase and give away copies of your book to new members? Could a corporation use your books for training materials? Would your book provide inspiration for a local non-profit group? Could your local bank offer your book as a bonus for those opening new business accounts? Offer deep discounts on bulk orders and create a win-win situation.
