I'm super excited to let you know I'm releasing a new book for writers next month!
For now, I'm busy juggling all the different things that go along with publishing a book and planning a launch.
Last weekend, for example, my main focus was putting together a first draft of a sales page for the book on my website.
Here's why . . .
Allow readers to find you online when they search your name (or book’s title) on Google (or whatever search engine they use)
Give your biggest fans a place where they can point new potential readers.
Let you put your “best foot forward” by curating the experience for the reader when
they land on the page (e.g. highlighting the best reviews, sharing stellar testimonials, etc.)
Help you build your email list by incentivizing readers to sign up (by offering bonuses, free gifts, etc.)
Bottom line: a book sales page, done right, will lead to more sales.
But what if you’re not a designer by trade?
This is a gift from my friend Jesse Krieger, the founder of Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press, an international best-selling author, and the publisher of dozens of best-selling books in a variety of genres.
From his
many years of experience, Jesse has seen exactly what works - and what doesn’t - when it comes to generating book sales.
His #1 rule for author success?
Create a captivating book sales page.
Which is why I was hard at work on my page last weekend!
Jesse has boiled the sales page down to a science, and follows the same, proven-to-sell template for all the books he publishes.
And thanks to him, now you can have a book sales page that turns random visitors into customers, readers, and new fans.

In other news, I released
the latest episode of The Writing Coach podcast today.
In this episode, I speak with Laura Franzini, who manages a team of over 25 writing coaches for a program called Author Accelorator.
What about you? What have you been working on? Hit reply and let me know.
Your pal in writing,
Kevin T. Johns, writing coach
P.S. I'm going to have another cool gift from
Jesse later this week, so stay tuned.
