Jump Start Your Book
“Are You Prepared to Start Your Book Today ... If a 30-Year Publishing Veteran Showed You Exactly How?"
Do you long to write a book, get it published, and watch it bless the world as it sells in the thousands? Then read on, because you will find out exactly what you need to do to get started--today, right now--and get started the fastest, easiest, most effective way possible....
The Dream ...
You have this idea for a book ... perhaps you've had it for years.
You are finally tired enough of letting your book simmer away inside you. It's starting to boil up, and you're ready to tend to it. You feel in your bones that it's time to add some ingredients to the pot, so to speak, and see what kind of delicious result will delight you and the rest of the world.
Or maybe you've even started writing your book, but you don't know how to finish it or how to go about getting it published.
Either way, you're ready, you're willing, but ... you have a question.
"How do I get started?"
I have just the right answer for you.
It's a tool kit called"Jump Start Your Book: 12 Questions Successful Authors Always Answer."
Even of you have already written your first word--or the whole manuscript--you will still benefit greatly from this resource.That's because you will need to answer these questions before you can successfullypublish and sell your book.
Your First Coaching Session: Laying the Groundwork
In essence, this is your first coaching session. Actually, your first several coaching sessions.
I created this toolkit to be a cost-effective way for people to get my expert help to start their book. This coaching session would normally take a client at least one, if not two or three sessions to work through with me, which for some people is simply beyond their budget. You don't really need my personal help, anyway, until you've first thought through these 12 steps.
Jump Start Your Book lays the all-important foundation for all of your next steps in writing and publishing your book. No matter where you are in the process--just beginning to think about it, book partially written, or even completed--you will need to answer these questions in order to find the fastest, most direct route to the plan that best suits your true goals and needs.
The 12 steps are actually 12 questions that all successful authors answer--usually before they write their first word.
Why questions?
Because questions force your brain to come up with answers--answers that are true for you.
It's as old as Socrates, who used questions to tease the truth out of people.
As you answer these 12 questions, you will begin to get a clearer picture of your book. More importantly, you will start to communicate your book in a way that others can receive.
And that is what publishers are looking for.
How Publishing Has Changed--and How "Jump Start" Gives You the Edge
Publishing has changed dramatically in the past 10 years or so. It's now harder than ever to get a publishing contract with a traditional publisher. If you have not answered the questions in "Jump Start Your Book," your chances of getting a publishing contract are about on a par with winning the jackpot lotto lottery by buying one ticket. (By the way, those odds are somewhere between 1000 to 1 and 55,000,000 to 1 that you will lose.) However, when you answer the 12 crucial questions in the Jump Start Your Book Manual, you will have laid the groundwork for writing a killer book proposal that makes a publisher take notice and offer you a decent advance--perhaps even a huge advance. (That will depend on whether you do the other things you will learn.)
Working through the Jump Start Your Book Manual is like constructing a jigsaw puzzle. The exercises allow you to construct the pieces we will use to put together the final picture of your publishing puzzle. That picture will fit you and your needs and goals precisely; no cookie cutter or one-size approach here. You will discover:
In addition to all these benefits from the Jump Start Your Book Manual, I have put together several more bonuses in the Jump Start Your Book Toolkit to speed you along the publishing path. Special Bonus #1 Takes You Step-by-Step through Creating an Information Product In addition to the Manual and Workbook, you get this special bonus: a 51-minute MP3 audio of an interview I did with Kevin Wilke of NitroMarketing that takes you step by step through the process of creating an information product. This special training session is unavailable anywhere else except through Kevin's special "10 in 90" training session, which is now closed. I am offering it only to those who order Jump Start Your Book. You can use this additional coaching session to help you write your book, or even to create a smaller product first--an eBook, Special Report, or article. (I recommend this--it's one quick way to begin to establish your expertise and create an extra stream of income.) In this recording you will learn:
This audio training is a $67 value--but you get it free as part of your Jump Start Your Book Toolkit.
There's yet another important bonus....
Special Bonus #2: How to Write Irresistible Queries and Proposals
This bonus will dramatically increase your chances of being published by traditional magazine and book publishers.
It will show you exactly how to make sure you are paid to write
I'm talking about getting paid to write the articles that will help you establish your credibility as an expert in your field. The queries you submit to an agent so that you can attract a traditional publisher (who will pay you an advance and royalties to publish your book). And, the book proposal you need to attract a book publisher, who will pay you an advance and royalties, publish your book, and handle the distribution of your book into retail and other outlets. Authors who are published and paid for it--whether in magazines or by a book publisher--have learned the art of persuading magazine and book editors that their ideas and ability to convey those ideas are worth publishers paying for. They learned how to write powerful queries (for magazines) and book proposals. I hate to say this, but the paid magazine and book publishing industries are extremely competitive. To break in, you have to stand head and shoulders above the thousands of submissions publishers receive every single day. There are only six--count 'em, six--major publishers in the U.S. (They are: Random House, Inc.; Penguin Putnam; HarperCollins, Holtzbrinck Publishing Holdings, Time Warner, Simon & Schuster.) To even be considered by any of these publishers, you will need a literary agent. How do you get an agent? You write a killer query letter! Then, for them to sell your work to a publisher, you need an outstanding book proposal. So, whether you're trying to get published by a magazine or a book publisher, you need to know how to write powerful queries and book proposals. In this Special Bonus, which is part of your Jump Start Your Book Toolkit, you will receive an audio download of a class I did with Suzanne Lieurance, known as "the Working Writer's Coach," and I did for the University of Masters online university. Here are just a few of the things you will learn in this recording:
Special Bonus #3--For Those Who Take Action
Once you answer the 12 crucial questions contained in this first coaching session, you will have proven to me--and more importantly, to yourself--that you have what it takes to become a successfully published author.
I will be so proud of you! To reward you, I want to give yet another, very valuable bonus.
When you complete and send me the answers to your 12 questions (the Workbook part), you will be entitled to a free, 20-minute one-on-one "laser coaching session" to help you figure out your blueprint to publishing success. This in itself is a $85 value--your reward from me for completing the manual.
You will have the opportunity for me to work with you to map out your next step ... and your next step ... all the way to your finished book.
No, let me correct that. All the way to your finished, successful book and money in the bank.
Because everything I do is committed to making sure you are well heard and well paid for what you know and love to do.
As you sit here reading this, imagine ... what will it feel like to be a published author? To have a beautiful book in your hands, to see it listed in amazon.com and perhaps even on the shelves of the bookstore, to be able to add to your signature, "Author of ..."?
To garner the esteem of your friends and colleagues, to have the media consult you because now you're a proven expert, to be able to give your book to potential clients....
We haven't even mentioned the money. What will you do with the extra stream of income from your book? This can come not only from sales, but more likely through the opportunities being a published author affords, such as higher speaking, coaching or consulting fees--which people are willing to pay, because your expertise is proven.
What will you do with an extra stream of income (or two)? Replace your current vehicle? Remodel your kitchen? Pay for your child's college education? Secure your retirement? Finally take your dream vacation ...
Your Book ... or a Movie?
Okay, enough dreaming. Now it's time to take action!
If you're really serious about starting your book now --and you wouldn't have read this far if you weren't--you need to ask yourself an important question at this point.
What kind of investment are you willing to make to fulfill your dream of getting your book published?
Would you be willing to forego say, the cost and time you would spend for dinner at a nice restaurant and a move, in order to begin writing your book?
That's about all it would take to get started right now. The Jump Start Your Book: 12 Steps to Writing a Book that Sells Toolkit costs only $97--less than what you would pay for dinner for two and a movie for two with large popcorn and a soft drink.
The 2-3 hours you spend answering the questions, instead of eating out and watching that movie, will go far toward laying the foundation for your book. When you listen to the audio classes, you will gain all the information you need to brainstorm topics, begin your book, brainstorm article topics, and write powerful query letters to send to editors and agents. You will also have my proprietary book proposal outline that will allow you to build on what you've done with the Jump Start Your Book Manual. You will have just what you need to write a powerful book proposal just like the ones I used to sell every book I ever proposed.
So the next time you're invited to go out to a movie, you can just smile and say, "Not this time. I'm writing my book." They'll probably look at you in surprise--until they see the glint of determination in your eyes. Right then and there, you will experience the respect that will only grow as you continue taking action toward writing your book. When it's finished, you will enjoy the prestige that comes from being a published author.
Better than a Ph.D. ...
That prestige of publishing a book surpasses even the cache of having a Ph.D. or M.D., believe it or not:
An advanced degree would cost you tens of thousands of dollars--not to mention 4-9 years of hard work. The cost of Jump Start Your Book is infinitesimal compared to the cost of a Ph.D.! And it will get you where you want to go, much faster and easier.
Listen, I am so eager for you to begin your book now, I considered giving these valuable tools away. But then I realized if I do that, they will end up sitting on your computer gathering cyberdust along with all the other free downloads you've collected and done nothing with.
So I'm doing the next best thing by offering you the free follow-up coaching session. In essence, you will get Jump Start Your Book for free. I'm just requiring you to invest a bit upfront, so you will appreciate its value.
In fact, between the audios and the free follow-up coaching session, you are getting the equivalent of at least three coaching sessions for less than half the price of one session !
The real value, of course, is the time Jump Start Your Book and the follow-up coaching will shave off of your learning curve. It might take you a thousand hours to write your book. Then you may spend many months in the typical "find an agent/send it off to a publisher and wait" routine. This process can take another year or two!
But if you start your book correctly, by answering the 12 questions in the Jump Start Your Book manual, you can shave hundreds of hours of time off of the process. If you follow the steps in the audio, you can even create an interim product quickly. In your follow-up coaching session, I'll show you how to begin to establish your credibility and build an added stream of income right away, even while you're writing your "bigger book."
When you finish Jump Start Your Book, you will determine which is the best publishing route to take, and you will know you have a saleable book. Chances are good that you might be able to secure a publishing contract and advance even before you write your book. (That's the way the pros do it. Get paid before you write--and know that it will be published.)
How much is your time worth to you? Is it worth $20, $47 or $150 per hour? Whatever your time is worth, doesn't it make sense to invest a fraction of it or even twice that, to save you many hours and much money? Isn't it worth $97 to learn how to do it right--plus get a road map for your action plan, customized to you?
Why You Need to Act Now
With my coaching/consulting practice filling up rapidly, I do not know how much longer I will be able to offer this last bonus. Even if I continue to offer it, chances are very good that I will raise the price considerably. So if you're serious about starting your book, the time to act is right now.
It all comes down to: Do you want to be published? Are you ready for your words to finally profit you, your audience, and the world? Are you ready to change lives? Are you ready to take your life and your career to the next level?
If your answer is yes, please get your instant download of the Jump Start Your Book: 12 Questions You Must Answer Before You Write the First Word Toolkit right now.

Just by working through the manual and putting your answers down on paper, you will be developing the skills you need in order to succeed. Guaranteed.

To your publishing success,
Diane Eble
P.S. I am nearly booked solid for my book coaching, so I do not know how long I will be able to offer the follow-up laser coaching session. This is a most valuable aspect of the Jump Start Your Book Toolkit, (an $85 value in itself), since it is when you get customized suggestions on which publishing path best fits you. I would hate to have you miss out on it. If you're serious about starting your book or information product, I suggest you take action right now. Click the box above that says "I want to start my book NOW" and let's get your book rolling!
P.P.S. Jump Start works for creating ANY information product, as the following testimonial proves.
