So, you’re an author. Congratulations, and well done! But have you built a business around your book yet?

Have you connected with fans where they are? Do you have your website set up? What about your podcast, YouTube channel, and absolute necessities like an email list?

It’s not hard if you know what you’re doing. I’ve accomplished all these things. I can also assist you with them.

Hi, I’m Jon Friedl. And I’m committed to helping authors like yourself understand and develop their community. And now I want to help you!

There’s more to success as an author than just writing a book. What you need is a strategic plan to find your audience and connect with fans where they are. I’ve done it and can show you how to do it for your business.

Would you like to sell 1,000 times as many books as you expect? Plus, make your book sales revenue stream 10% of your total business revenue. That’s what I did!

When I did it, I had to figure it out from scratch, after years of study and research. I pieced my success together through arduous trial and error. As much as I enjoyed the work, it took years and wasn’t easy.

Get the benefit of my hard-won experience. As I build up my content, ultimately accumulating thousands of posts, you can learn from them freely. However, publishing all those articles, videos, and podcasts will take some time.

Instead, get your answers now. ASK me. That’s how you’ll make the most of your time.

As I continue to develop my business, I’ll publish a book, offer a fundamental online course, and then an advanced instructor-led online course, among other initiatives. However, from the beginning, I have been offering 1-on-1 consultations. Consults will never be as inexpensive as they are now.

After publishing a book, you can work on your next book. But wouldn’t you want to make the most of all your hard work on your first book? Building your community will increase your book sales, but it can also lead to a product stack that generates 10 times your revenue stream from book sales.

Make the most of your book by optimizing your community. After consulting with clients one-on-one, I’ve developed a process for building a strategic game plan for you in a single, comprehensive meeting.

Here’s how it works. First, click the “Book Now!” button below, and you’ll be prompted to fill out a quick survey so I can get to know your work so far and schedule your call.

From there, I’ll do a 360-degree analysis of your areas of interest. I’ll cover everything, from your likely URL and value proposition to the best places to reach your audience, which media channels to start with, and in what order, and more. Then, when we meet in our Zoom video conference, I’ll help you create a cohesive strategy for success and answer any questions you may have.

Whether big or small, I can help you grow your community of fans to the next level. Here are some of the ways I can help:

• Show you how to effectively increase your community without wasting your precious energy.
• Help you build an approach to assessing where your fans are so you can meet them there.
• Systematically improve your community presence without exceeding your available time.
• Re-ignite your content inspiration by engaging with fans who want to help you succeed.
• Strategies to improve your community step-by-step to help your audience interact with you and each other.
• How to manage your community to avoid difficulties that can sometimes lead to subscriber losses.

Regardless of your growth goals or the size of your community, I can help you achieve more results to reach your ultimate community objectives.

Instead of wasting precious time and money on what isn’t helping your business grow, I can help you create a game plan that leads to a fast improvement rate and business success.

What are your policies for rescheduling, refunds, and late shows?

Rescheduling: When you schedule your appointment, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing your session details. Inside that confirmation email, there’s a link to where you can reschedule your session at any time up to 24 hours before your scheduled session time. After that, your session is locked in and cannot be changed or refunded.

Refunds: We will issue a full refund up to 24 hours before your session. There are no refunds after the service.

Late Shows: If you’re late to your meeting, I will wait for 15 minutes after the scheduled meeting start time for you to arrive. After that, I am free to leave the meeting. There are no refunds for arriving late. Additionally, I will not be able to extend your meeting beyond its scheduled duration due to other meetings that follow yours.

I need advice, but I’m unable to afford the consulting fee. What other options are there?

Every post on my website, YouTube video, and podcast episode is free. If a private, one-on-one consultation is outside your budget, I recommend my free content as an alternative. It’ll help authors improve their community performance.

I need help publishing my book. Can you help?

No, as that is not my area of expertise. But many resources are available to help you publish your book, from the excellent Jane Friedman to many scammers who shall remain nameless.
