[epub] Re: Looking for speakers

[Doug Lipman <coach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Maria,
Here's a proposal for a teleseminar for your members. I'm replying to 
the whole list just in case the subject of information products might 
promote a side discussion.

How to Turn Your Expertise into Products
or: Why I Stopped Writing Books and Started Making Money.

Most coaches dream of writing books they can sell. But there are much 
easier and more profitable ways to create products based on what you 
know and do. In this hour, I'll give you the 6 top ways to create 
money-making products from your expertise, and concrete examples of 
successful models - as well as hints about marketing them to new and 
existing customers.

I am a professional storyteller who has branched out into training 
others to use storytelling in their work. A free-lancer since 1971, I 
am the author of four books offered by mainstream publishers. Along 
the way, I've discovered how to make a living much more easily than I 
used to. For example, one of my "non-standard" products makes me more 
money every year than all four of my published books have, in total, 
in the ten years since I signed my first book contract! I offer a 
free email newsletter, "eTips from the Storytelling Coach," 
(http://www.storydynamics.com>) that goes out to over 6200 
subscribers from 80 countries.

At this point, I could do the second Monday of January, February, 
March, September or November.
