00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:02.959
Well, happy Monday, everyone.
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:12.800
Uh, my name is Greg Dixon, Shared Visions Unlimited, multimedia publishing, marketing, and story productions.
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:19.440
And today the topic is what is your next step on your book publishing journey?
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:28.960
And uh I'm gonna go through a couple of places where you might be and uh feel free to say yes in the chat or ask questions, and um, here we go.
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.240
The first question is why would you want to write and publish a book?
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.439
As Marie Forleo says, the world needs that special gift that only you have.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.159
Many say that a book can open doors and attract customers and clients.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.320
And I say writing and publishing bring the joy of creation to you and share your visions with the world.
00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:21.040
Homer, Sophocles, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Benjamin Franklin, William Wordsworth, Walt Whitman, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Carl Sagan, Ian Fleming, Frank Herbert, Jean Roddenberry, Mother Teresa, Stephen Covey, George Lucas, Stan Lee, Julia Cameron, and millions of others over the millennia have written things that still entertain, enlighten, and inspire us today.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.439
You are joining a long-lived and esteemed club of writers.
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.000
So, where are you on the journey today?
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.879
Do you have a finished manuscript that needs a structural review and editing?
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.120
Editors and beta readers can help.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.879
This is a good point for me to help with suggestions and editing.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.480
Is your manuscript ready for formatting for submission to Amazon and other platforms?
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:58.000
In my experience, further editing refinements come at this stage, with a flip book being a good way to review the text and formatting before finalizing.
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.079
I use Atticus for formatting and update a flip book for review.
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:10.400
I'm still using this process to improve my books, including Publish Your Book Everywhere That Pays and Build Your Golden Publishing Sales Machine.
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.560
Are you working on recording the audiobook?
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.639
One of the best ways to spot awkward passages and the need for transitions is reading it aloud.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:35.759
Recording the audio while finalizing the formatting will make your book read better, and you can release the print book, ebook, and audiobook at the same time and include them in a digital experience edition you sell directly.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.360
I can help with the recording process and use the recording to promote your book too.
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:50.080
Do you have a front, have front and back covers that meet the formatting guidelines of Amazon and other platforms?
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.759
Amazon will generate a cover template based on trim size, paper quality, and color choices.
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.680
The spine width will vary based on your choices.
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:09.759
Amazon has a cover generator, there are book cover services, and I have created and adjusted and adjusted many covers over the years.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.080
Are you interested in creating a course or membership program related to your book?
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.199
A multimedia digital experience edition with supporting media plus a membership program can be a golden ticket for you.
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.479
This is my specialty and the heart of the Golden Publishing Sales Machine.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.080
Do you have a collection of previously published books and courses that are not performing well?
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.719
Bundling into a digital experience edition can breathe new life, new sales life into your golden content.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:51.680
I can create and market a digital experience edition of your golden content with you on retainer or as a joint venture collaboration.
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.879
I am releasing the Greg Dixon Gold Vault of my books, videos, courses, recordings, and other content.
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.759
Do you have a marketing plan for before, during, and after publishing?
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:13.520
Early ongoing marketing will establish your authority and attract people and books to your offers.
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.399
I can help with that too.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.399
So I have experienced tools and strategies to help you with all of the steps or just one or two.
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.079
For example, you may be at the final stage of editing, formatting, and submitting your book.
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.399
I can help you with that with an affordable one-time retainer.
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.839
Or perhaps you want guidance and help with this book and more in the future.
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:47.680
My superpower is specialized experience and a creative approach across many areas, including writing, publishing, marketing, and story production.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:55.439
The best way to work with me is through a modest monthly retainer where we discuss and implement the best steps together.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.560
For bigger projects, I will provide a proposal with pricing options.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.879
Let's start with discussing your publishing and marketing goals.
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.439
And there's a link here to make an appointment with me.
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:10.800
It's in the show notes.
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.680
So are there any uh questions here?
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.480
I'll just uh in just put them in the comments here.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.680
Reach out to talk to me about your publishing goals, and and we'll go from there.
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:52.319
And um when I edit when I end this uh this this uh broadcast here, there's going to be, I'm pretty sure there's going to be uh a little video about LifeWave products coming up.
00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:02.240
Bonnie and I are LifeWave representatives, and uh we still really love the products and um can really make a difference in your health.
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:12.720
So on that on that note, I'm gonna sign off and reach out to me wherever you're listening to this, and uh and we'll talk.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:22.480
Light, an ancient form of energy that goes back to the dawn of time.
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:29.519
For us, it all begins with the sun, the source of light and life for our entire solar system.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.240
Even Einstein concluded that everything we're made of contains light.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.000
All life originates with the sun through photosynthesis.
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.279
Plants and vegetation collect the light, and all living creatures emit light.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.319
Humans actually emit infrared light, which can be seen with night vision devices.
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.920
We've known for centuries that light has many effects on the body.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:07:01.360
Life waves phototherapy patches use light to stimulate the body's natural healing systems, providing specific health benefits.
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.639
Here's how the technology works.
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.040
First, a patch is applied to specific points on the body.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:16.399
Where the patch covers the skin, infrared light emitted from the body is reflected back into the tissue.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:22.639
This stimulates the skin, which in turn stimulates specific regions of the brain.
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.519
The brain then taps into the body's own natural flow of energy and the ability to heal itself.
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.160
Let's take a look at why this is important on a cellular level.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:46.079
For example, a number of our patch products help counteract free radicals, oxygen molecules that damage cell proteins and contribute to visible signs of aging.
00:07:46.639 --> 00:08:18.639
When the body is stimulated through phototherapy to release its own antioxidants, these free radicals are neutralized naturally.com.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.040
LifeWave Live Long.
00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:02.959

So, where are you on the journey today?
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.879
Do you have a finished manuscript that needs a structural review and editing?
