5 Smart Reasons Why Authors
Should Hire a PR Coach instead of a Publicist

Have you considered hiring a publicist but their fees are way out of your price range?

Do you need a publicist but you’ve heard the horror stories of “I paid my retainers and got nothing?”

Regardless of the fact that this may all be true, at some point people need to know about your business other than by word of mouth. Publicity has served and still today is the best avenue in getting the word out.

Ministry Marketing Solutions does full service PR for the most well known Christian publishers and authors in the nation from Bishop TD Jakes, Pastor Bill Winston, Taffi Dollar, Pastor Andre Butler & Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook but also teaches authors to be their own publicist - to build their platform, brand their ministry.

I will be your coach that shows you step by step, exactly how to do your own publicity just like the pros. You actually become the publicist for your book and build your “brand.”

Let’s check out these 5 reasons why you may want to consider
The PR Boot Camp Coaching Program:

#1 - Cost
This is the number one reason many authors have turned to PR coaching. The usual fees for a publicist range from $2,000-$5,000 a amonth, depending on the publicist and the number of hours required to publicize the business.

#2 - Customized Plan
When you work with a PR coach, your publicity plan is customized just for your book/ministry, not some template used for all other books.

#3 - Media Savvy
You will learn everything there is to know about the various forms of media and how to get your business noticed by them. I will give you real contacts too! (Unheard of in the industry)

#4 - Online Tips and Tricks
You will learn how to leverage twitter, flickr, facebook, myspace, youtube, blogs, linkedin and more to build your brand and sell more books. Create online relationships that turn into customers and ministry partners. Learning these free online marketing tools will save you thousands of dollars.

#5 - Media vs. Public vs. Ministry Industry Publicity
In today’s society, mainly because of the Internet, there is more than just media publicity. Learn how to get to all 3!

So as you see, PR Coaching is a great alternative to hiring a publicist or a public relations firm.

Writing my book was the easy part – getting the word out was a completely different “story.” Before taking Pam Perry’s PR Boot Camp, I had no idea where my book was headed or how to get it there. Through the PR Boot Camp I acquired tips, tools and resources that serve as my publicity GPS. I learned how to develop an effective marketing plan, identify my platform and establish my brand. I also learned how to use the internet to get tons of free publicity and drive traffic to my website using social networks, Twitter and by blogging. In addition, I learned some of the best kept secrets on how to attract media attention. Now, I am equipped to navigate my way through the labyrinth of book publicity with skill and confidence.
