Wild Branch Live · Get Your Book to the People You Wrote It For

What this hour gives you

One hour. The path to your readers.

The path from a book on the shelf to the people it was written for.

Where to find the readers who need your book, once you've run out of somebodies.
What to charge for the stages you're already standing on, and the six email templates that make the ask. Church, library, bookstore, school, coffee shop, craft fair.
How the talks sell the book.
Where to find your first paid yes, the one that makes the next five easier to ask for.
What your reader is asking at 2 in the morning. Because they don't care about your book. They care about what's hurting them.

"The value for the cost was there."
Dara Halydier, Author and Speaker, Abiding Truth Ministry

If any of this sounds familiar

You already know it would help people.

Everything's come from knowing somebody who knows somebody, and I'm running out of somebodies.

I'm surrounded by the same people all the time, and I think they're sick of hearing the message.

I feel like I'm throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something sticks.

I got over 600 people on my list. I don't even know if I got one sale.

I don't have any ideas on what to do next.

It's always somebody who knows me. And will I do them a favor?

Here I am, a year later, and my book has still been sitting around.

I purchased the best seller package. They did not do one thing for marketing.

I have 3 boxes of books in my closet.

Once my book was published, it was as if something was turned off.

If that's you, this hour was built for you.

The real reason it isn't reaching them

You did all the things. The book still isn't reaching them.

The launch. The promotions. The website. "Everything's in place, it looks good. But it's just not working."

But your book doesn't sell.

Doing more was never the path. Reaching the people you wrote it for is.

Even authors who have sold thousands feel it. A pastor with 25,000 copies sold put it this way. "I wanted that traditional route for the validation and to feel like I had truly 'made it' as an author."

"If you don't tell people what you do, it's gonna keep your book on the shelf. Don't be shelfish."

Sara, live at last month's event

And here's what opens up

When your book finally reaches them.

It reaches people, and helps them, and blesses them.

You're speaking to audiences that want to hear.

Someone tells you the book spoke to their heart, and you get to look them in the eye and say, "I wrote it for you."

Confirmation that you're doing the right thing, that you're stewarding what He has entrusted to you well.
