Friday Conference
This high level marketing and mastermind training day is designed to help established authors build their businesses and increase their profits.
Sessions include:
Direct sales - Kaydence Snow
With ever increasing opportunities, selling directly to readers has become a lucrative aspect of being an author. Join bestselling global author and co-founder of Beventi, Kaydence Snow as she shares how to navigate the sometimes overwhelming world of direct sales.
Serving Your Superfans: How to Build and Foster a Fandom - Steff Green
Having readers is awesome, but die-hard fans who become emotionally invested in our story worlds are how authors build sustainable careers. Discover how you can stoke the fires of fandom in your readers and keep them coming back for more.
This workshop by bestselling kooky, spooky romance author Steffanie Holmes will cover the science of fandom, examples of how she and other authors build and sustain rabid fandoms, and examples of how you can create fun and immersive fan experiences for your readers.
Mastering TikTok for Authors - AK Mulford
Unlock the potential of TikTok to grow your author platform and sell more books. In this workshop, you'll learn how to create engaging content, build a loyal community, and use sustainable growth strategies that lead to long-term success. Discover the ways TikTok can help you boost book sales, attract new readers, and build a fandom—all while staying true to your unique voice and goals as an author.
Money Mindset for Authors - Renee Rose
You can have it all–everything your beautiful, creative heart desires. The millions of readers, millions of dollars, bestseller lists and accolades. The only thing that may stand in your way is you (and sometimes a dose of divine timing).
What are money and success blocks that keep you from creating the future you desire? You may believe you’re entirely aligned with success, abundance, and making millions with total ease, but in fact, parts of you may be working against your success.
In this workshop, we will look at the parts of yourself that create resistance as you reach for more. You may be shut down or paralyzed by your notions of success, internal programming, and ability to get out of your own way or thoughts and beliefs around money. Together, we will dig into the sneaky, covert places you’re stopping yourself and pull in all the magic you require so you can align with the information, opportunities, and synchronicity that are available to you right at this moment.
If you’ve been trying to get to the next level thinking there’s something outside of you that will get you there, this is the workshop for you. You already have it all.
+ More to be announced!
Sessions are held at Venue 114 and run from 8.30am-5pm on Friday 7 November.
