With authors lining up to become clients, Tim Grahl has come a long way from his days of personally reaching out to authors to kickstart his business. He’s devised a foolproof process that ensures client happiness… and sales!
He started his journey as a freelance web marketer and quickly discovered his passion working alongside authors. It wasn’t long after this discovery that he gave up all other work to focus strictly on building a client base of authors he thought would be fun to work with.
So what exactly does Tim do? He turns the “write and hope” mentality of selling novels into “write and know”. Helping authors build a platform that creates big buzz for their new book release.
As a successful author himself this guy knows his stuff. With the first week of book sales for any book on the market averaging at about 250 copies only, Tim crushed the average by selling over 1000 copies of his own book in the first week.
His fresh approach on marketing and three step process will help you build your fanbase and raise your sales.
