(You get the benefit of Rita being a super-fast, highly creative writer, with a ton of ideas...hmmm...maybe I should re-think this pricing...Oh, never mind, I'm a bleeding heart...I know you're on a budget and I like to be helpful.)
"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
- One-on one consulting /brainstorming (phone or in person)... up to 30 min.
Investment: $275
