Marketing to Authors---for Virtual Assistants

Find Your Niche Helping Authors
Tame the Publishing Process

Teleclass February 20 at 4:00pm Eastern
Presented by AuthorSmart.com
Sponored by CVAN (Canadian Virtual Assistant Network)

With about 150,000 new books being published each year, if you haven't worked with an author, but you work with speakers, coaches, attorneys, or entrepreneurs, chances are, one of these people will become an author and will be interested in getting your help along the way.

Many of the skills you have as a VA are directly transferable to the specific kind of tasks needed and valued by authors as they make their way through the publishing process. If you find this prospect interesting, you may decide to make working with authors a niche or specialty for your practice, as many VA's have.

The first question we hear from someone considering adding to their virtual skills to work with authors, or making working with authors their niche, is: "How do I know I can find clients if I become an author's assistant?"

In this session we cover:
• Where to find authors who need VA's,
• How to market to authors and
• What VA skills authors are looking for.

Also, there is a special note-taking handout created especially for this session that will leave you with many take-aways you can put into practice as soon as the class is over.

P.S. I completed this training last month and I can honestly say that it's the among the best that I've ever attended. Both the content and the instructor were excellent. I interviewed several past graduates prior to signing up to get their opinion and it was the same as mine.

Cheers,

Nice! Thanks Pam - I'll add this to our calendar....

Hi Pam,

Thanks so much for sharing this information! Do you know if class recordings are made available to registrants after the class is over? I ask because unfortunately, I'll be working in my full-time J O B during the entire course time, but I'm very interested in learning the material. Can the take-away handout be used on its own, or does it not make sense if you haven't attended the course?

Also, just out of curiosity, has the course helped you successfully get authors as clients?

Sorry about the 20 questions, but this topic is very interesting to me; I was just thinking today that I'd like to concentrate my efforts more on authors as my target market.

I was also wondering, as I have that dang 9-5 job that's really cramping my style!

Thanks for the post- I am planning on signing up for this class. And, just to add to the common question, was wandering what options there were for those who can only make it to the first hour of the class....?

I'm interested in this also - it's at 8am for me so I should be able to come. I am both a VA and author so I might pick up some hints and tips from both sides!
