August 14, 2009PowerPhrase: Why buy a book on…?

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

In an article on great book marketing by Joanna Penn, she speaks of what one author did that drives sales. She writes:

The first chapter is entitled “Why buy a book on robots and war?” and the first line “Because robots are frakin’ cool”. That says it all! If you have a book that a market will definitely buy, you just need to tell them you are there (and that is marketing!)

I must practice now. Why buy a book on SpeakStrong? Because Speaking Strong is way more fun and powerful than the alternative.

How am I doing?

  1. “Because Speaking Strong is way more fun and powerful than the alternative.” This is a good start. May I recommend, “Because Speaking Strong is way more *satisfying* and powerful than the alternative.”

    Personally, I have found speaking strong is not always more fun, but more satisfying. I do not beat myself up afterwards with thoughts of what I should have said.

    Good luck with your book(s).
