3 Things Every Christian Authors Must Do

As a Christian author I believe I can speak about what we lack with some sense of authority. Having missed many opportunities to stand tall as a Self-Published Christian Author I am now compelled to share those mistakes so that you can advance your ministry through writing:

1) Have a 30 second "Head Promo" of your book. What's a Head Promo? It is the sells pitch you walk, breath and live about your book. You are able to sum up your book in a 30-second sound bite. If you can't do that and you need a book mark or palm card to do it for you-then you've lost potentially as many sells as the number of people you encountered in a day.

2) Carry a copy of your book with you everywhere you go. Every person you meet is a potential customer. If you're on the bus, train, airplane, in a meeting, etc. There is a new opportunity to showcase your expertise in these settings-be prepared.

3) Be available to do workshops/presentations without a fee. As a new author your chief concern must be to sell books. As you begin to establish yourself as an expert in the field-speakers fees will become an expectation rather than a trade-off. Accept the invitation, wow them with your presentation and sell, sell, sell!
