  "Borrow-a Brain" Mentoring  / Brainstorming

  The Master Plan

- Spend one full day  (8 hrs.) with Rita, in person (you come to my home/office...I'll treat you as a guest and even feed you...a meal plus snacks) or we can connect over the phone.

- We will create a Marketing Plan for your book, including a list of marketing targets and sources: ezines, online groups and forums and niche vendors/suppliers, etc., all chosen according to relevance to your book, its topic and/or its contents.

- We will develop content for a Press Release, Marketing Blurb(s), a Quiz, Tip Sheet or Survey (whichever seems most appropriate) and an Events, Awards or Contest plan. (Then after lunch, what would you like to do....just kidding!)

- You get follow-up phone/email consulting (up to 90 minutes over the following month) at no additional cost, to help you implement your Plan.

  Investment:  $550 / day  (Good grief...I must be nuts...this stuff is worth a fortune!)

Value Plan

-  Spend  1/2 day  (4 hrs.) with Rita, in person (you come to my
home/office...I'll  still treat you as a guest and still feed you...either a meal or snacks, depending on time of day) or we can connect over the phone.

- We will develop content for a Press Release, Marketing Blurb, a Quiz, Tip Sheet or Survey (whichever seems most appropriate) and we will give you a jump start on your Marketing Plan...by brainstorming some ideas for ezines, other marketing venues, as time permits.

Investment:   $350  (1/2 day)
(follow-up phone consultation available at hourly rate of $75 / hr.)


                                    
The Budget Plan

- Send me a copy of your book (non-returnable...it will be a mess...filled with notes, ideas, etc. by the time I get done) plus a Synopsis, Chapter Outline and any current marketing pieces you may have. I will use these, plus input from you (via phone or in person) to create:

Branding Blurb plus a Survey, Poll, Tip Sheet or Quiz, and a Press Release
