- 28. Conclusion... “ Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death?…No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. MyHeartofHealing.com (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
- 29. Nothing can separate you... And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love . Death can’t , and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8: 35–39 (NLT) MyHeartofHealing.com (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com

- 94. My insight... That is the challenge. To look at yourself not just as an author but also as a marketer.
- 95. For some Christians, that can be doubly challenging because many view the practise of marketing with distrust or disdain.
- 96. Do you agree with this book’s title?
- 97. But what is a marketer? According to Godin. A marketer is a story teller. The best marketers know how to tell a story.
- 98. Recommended blog (19 tips for authors):
- 99. Recommended blog (19 tips for authors): #1. Lower your expectations. The happiest authors are the ones that don't expect much.
- 100. #2. The best time to start promoting your book is three years before it comes out . Three years to build a reputation, build a permission asset, build a blog, build a following, build credibility and build the connections you'll need later.
- 101. Seth Godin's 19 tips for authors: #5. Don't try to sell your book to everyone. First, consider this: " 58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school." Then, consider the fact that among people even willing to buy a book, yours is just a tiny little needle in a very big haystack. Far better to obsess about a little subset of the market--that subset that you have permission to talk with, that subset where you have credibility, and most important, that subset where people just can't live without your book .
- 102. Seth Godin's 19 tips for authors: #8.Your cover matters . Way more than you think. If it didn't, you wouldn't need a book... you could just email people the text.
- 104. Approved cover of Heart of Healing by the publisher
- 105. The author diplomatically challenges them to come up with something better....
- 106. #8.Your cover matters. Way more than you think. If it didn't, you wouldn't need a book... you could just email people the text.
- 107. #8.Your cover matters. Way more than you think. If it didn't, you wouldn't need a book... you could just email people the text.
- 108. #8.Your cover matters. Way more than you think. If it didn't, you wouldn't need a book... you could just email people the text.
- 109. Result: From this...
- 110. Raising Funds by Producing, Organizing and Promoting Events (c) Ardy Roberto 2008
- 111. Seth Godin's 19 tips for authors: #9 . If you have a 'real' publisher , it's worth investing in a few things to help them do a better job for you . Like pre-editing the book before you submit it. Like putting the right to work on the cover with them in the contract . And most of all, getting the ability to buy hundreds of books at cost that you can use as samples and promotional pieces . In case you skipped it, please check #2 again. That's the most important one, by far.
- 112. Seth Godin's 19 tips for authors: #11. Blurbs are overrated, imho. #12. Blog mentions, on the other hand, matter a lot. #13. If you've got the patience, bookstore signings and talking to book clubs by phone are the two lowest-paid but most guaranteed to work methods you have for promoting a really really good book. If you do it 200 times a year, it will pay. #14. Consider the free PDF alternative . Some have gotten millions of downloads. No hassles, no time wasted, no trying to make a living on it. All the joy, in other words, without debating whether you should quit your day job (you shouldn't!)
- 113. Recommended blog (19 tips for authors): #16. Most books that sell by the truckload sell by the caseload. In other words, sell to organizations that buy on behalf of their members/employees.
- 114. “ 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard ? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" — Romans 10:14-15
- 115. Paraphrased version for authors: “ And how can they buy your book without someone selling to them? 15 And how can they sell unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good books!"
- 116. “ Your books bring good news and cheer and encouragement. So bring it on! Tell people about it!” — Ardy Roberto
- 117. “ That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all your wondrous works!” Psalms 26:7 (NEV)
- 118. Why do marketing? “Let your light shine bright...” 13 "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. Matthew 5;13, The Message
- 119. Why do marketing? Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. ... I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! . Matthew 5;14a-15 The Message
- 120. In Hindsight and In Reality Authors are realizing the importance of marketing... “ Marketing is an essential enterprise for any professional writer.” - Andrea Campbell
- 123. In Hindsight and In Reality Learn how to market: Marketing Strategies for Writers by Michael Sedge
- 129. Recommended feel-good mushy reading...
- 130. Gone are the days of Shakespeare when talent alone would get you going. Why? Media clutter~! Ave person exposed to 3,000 messages per day. Author clutter! More than 75,000 books published every year.

- I felt good with all the attention given to me when the book was launched.
- Was asked but wasn’t able to show up. Honestly, did not like the shows that they lined me up to do...

- Advice for authors 1. Lower your expectations. The happiest authors are the ones that don't expect much. The best time to start promoting your book is three years before it comes out. Three years to build a reputation, build a permission asset, build a blog, build a following, build credibility and build the connections you'll need later. Understand that a non-fiction book is a souvenir, just a vessel for the ideas themselves. You don't want the ideas to get stuck in the book... you want them to spread. Which means that you shouldn't hoard the idea! The more you give away, the better you will do. Don't try to sell your book to everyone. First, consider this: " 58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school." Then, consider the fact that among people even willing to buy a book, yours is just a tiny little needle in a very big haystack. Far better to obsess about a little subset of the market--that subset that you have permission to talk with, that subset where you have credibility, and most important, that subset where people just can't live without your book. Resist with all your might the temptation to hire a publicist to get you on Oprah. First, you won't get on Oprah (if you do, drop me a note and I'll mention you as the exception). Second, it's expensive. You're way better off spending the time and money to do #5 instead, going after the little micromarkets. There are some very talented publicists out there (thanks, Allison), but in general, see #1. Think really hard before you spend a year trying to please one person in New York to get your book published by a 'real' publisher. You give up a lot of time. You give up a lot of the upside. You give up control over what your book reads like and feels like and how it's promoted. Of course, a contract from Knopf and a seat on Jon Stewart's couch are great things, but so is being the Queen of England. That doesn't mean it's going to happen to you. Far more likely is that you discover how to efficiently publish (either electronically or using POD or a small run press) a brilliant book that spreads like wildfire among a select group of people. Your cover matters. Way more than you think. If it didn't, you wouldn't need a book... you could just email people the text. If you have a 'real' publisher (#7), it's worth investing in a few things to help them do a better job for you. Like pre-editing the book before you submit it. Like putting the right to work on the cover with them in the contract. And most of all, getting the ability to buy hundreds of books at cost that you can use as samples and promotional pieces. In case you skipped it, please check #2 again. That's the most important one, by far. Blurbs are overrated, imho. Blog mentions, on the other hand, matter a lot. If you've got the patience, bookstore signings and talking to book clubs by phone are the two lowest-paid but most guaranteed to work methods you have for promoting a really really good book. If you do it 200 times a year, it will pay. Consider the free PDF alternative. Some have gotten millions of downloads. No hassles, no time wasted, no trying to make a living on it. All the joy, in other words, without debating whether you should quit your day job (you shouldn't!) If you want to reach people who don't normally buy books, show up in places where people who don't usually buy books are. Media places, virtual places and real places too. Most books that sell by the truckload sell by the caseload. In other words, sell to organizations that buy on behalf of their members/employees. Publishing a book is not the same as printing a book. Publishing is about marketing and sales and distribution and risk. If you don't want to be in that business, don't! Printing a book is trivially easy. Don't let anyone tell you it's not. You'll find plenty of printers who can match the look and feel of the bestselling book of your choice for just a few dollars a copy. That's not the hard part. Bookstores, in general, are run by absolutely terrific people. Bookstores, in general, are really lousy businesses. They are often where books go to die. While some readers will discover your book in a store, it's way more likely they will discover the book before they get to the store, and the store is just there hoping to have the right book for the right person at the time she wants it. If the match isn't made, no sale. Writing a book is a tremendous experience. It pays off intellectually. It clarifies your thinking. It builds credibility. It is a living engine of marketing and idea spreading, working every day to deliver your message with authority. You should write one.

Like putting the right to work on the cover with them in the contract. And most of all, getting the ability to buy hundreds of books at cost that you can use as samples and promotional pieces. In case you skipped it, please check #2 again. That's the most important one, by far. #11. Blurbs are overrated, imho. #12. Blog mentions, on the other hand, matter a lot. #13. If you've got the patience, bookstore signings and talking to book clubs by phone are the two lowest-paid but most guaranteed to work methods you have for promoting a really really good book. If you do it 200 times a year, it will pay. #14. Consider the free PDF alternative. Some have gotten millions of downloads. No hassles, no time wasted, no trying to make a living on it. All the joy, in other words, without debating whether you should quit your day job (you shouldn't!) #15. If you want to reach people who don't normally buy books, show up in places where people who don't usually buy books are. Media places, virtual places and real places too. #16. Most books that sell by the truckload sell by the caseload. In other words, sell to organizations that buy on behalf of their members/employees. 17, Publishing a book is not the same as printing a book. Publishing is about marketing and sales and distribution and risk. If you don't want to be in that business, don't! Printing a book is trivially easy. Don't let anyone tell you it's not. You'll find plenty of printers who can match the look and feel of the bestselling book of your choice for just a few dollars a copy. That's not the hard part. 18. Bookstores, in general, are run by absolutely terrific people. Bookstores, in general, are really lousy businesses. They are often where books go to die. While some readers will discover your book in a store, it's way more likely they will discover the book before they get to the store, and the store is just there hoping to have the right book for the right person at the time she wants it. If the match isn't made, no sale. 19. Writing a book is a tremendous experience. It pays off intellectually. It clarifies your thinking. It builds credibility. It is a living engine of marketing and idea spreading, working every day to deliver your message with authority. You should write one.

[ ] 1. Database driven digital marketing. [ ] a. Used his existing Pastors.com to reach more than 100,000 pastors worldwide each week. Used this database to launch PDL and invite churches to participate in a "40 Days of Purpose" event (to correspond with the book's 40 chapters). [ ] b.
