We believe that direct sales is more than any one platform, or any one modality. It's a network of platforms and strategies that form a foundation for your author business. When you try to define direct sales across any one axis, you lessen its impact. We didn't want to do that. We wanted to show you the full scope of what is possible with direct sales, which ended up being a lot of words. The book became so long that we actually split it into two books. When we looked at what we've already written, and what we have planned, we realized this really is the definitive guide to direct sales for authors. Direct Sales Mastery for Authors Volume 2 This volume dives deep into the StoryUrge Messaging Framework, which helps authors create strong marketing messaging that actually helps them sell a book. This goes far beyond a blurb or some ad copy. (Though it can be used to make those pieces better too!) The book then shows you how to apply the StoryUrge Messaging Framework across all five areas of direct sales: Website Landing Pages, Website Storefronts, Crowdfunding Launches, Subscriptions and Memberships, and Live Events and Signings. There are three major pieces of the StoryUrge Messaging Framework: Excitement - Why people should be excited about your project. This can include telling them about the tropes, characters, relationships, settings, special features, special offers, and more. Objections - Why people are holding back from your project. This includes general objections to your genre or niche, but can also include specific objections to you or your books. With direct sales, it is particularly important to include objections to the platform, method of sale, or business model as readers may not be as familiar with it as they are at retailers. (For example, we always advise our students to talk to their readers about why Kickstarter is not “begging for money” or similar to GoFundMe.) Psychological Triggers - Why people buy. Russell and I have extensive experience in marketing and sales and have collected these over the years. We have shared our secrets to creating exciting offers and messaging in one chapter of Get Your Book Selling on Kickstarter—Chapter 6—but we are greatly expanding on that in the second volume of Direct Sales Mastery for Authors to help answer all the awesome questions we’ve gotten on this topic in the last few years. Our psychological triggers section offers nearly 50 different buttons to push to bring people into your work across six categories: The X-Factors - These help you position yourself or your characters in a leadership position or several steps ahead of your readers Connection Deepeners - These help you position yourself or your characters as a peer to your readers (making you or your characters relatable and sympathetic) The Button-Pushers - These encourage action at a subconscious level Pleasure and Pain Inducers - These evoke visceral and resonant emotion in your readers Core Wounders and Healers - These take the audience on a transformational journey with you (for memoir), with themselves (for nonfiction), or with your characters (for fiction) Emotional Fantasies and Nightmares - These allow the audience to explore a different life in safety We teach how to use these triggers in the book itself (yes, even for fiction!), in the offer you are trying to sell, and in the marketing messaging you use to sell the offer. When all of this is in alignment, sales happen more easily!
