Treasuring
Grace is a Christian themed book that was published by Healthy Life
Press. Being a first time author makes it hard to break into the writing
business and the Christian market, although growing, makes it even
harder. We know there are a lot of you in the same boat, with great
ideas, inspired story lines, but not really sure where to go with your
manuscript or how to take the next step.
We asked our publisher at Healthy Life Press some questions about breaking into the Christian Publishing business (referred to a CP in the future) and wanted to share his valuable information with you here. We are sure you'll find it fascinating and helpful.

Hyatt, chairman of Thomas Nelson publishers and an influential blogger, built
his large online audience using blogs, Twitter and Facebook. He is now passing
along marketing tips and techniques that he has learned over the past eight
years in his latest book Platform: Get
Noticed in A Noisy World.
Hyatt argues in the book that in
today's crowded marketplace compelling content is no longer enough for someone
to get noticed. As a former CEO of Thomas Nelson, Hyatt had to turn away
authors and writers with brilliant material because they didn't have a platform
to market their message.
"Content was king still but
platform had become queen," he told blogger Brad Lomenick in a recent interview.
Without a platform, even a great
message or product can get lost amid all the "noise" created by other
competitors and distractions, according to Hyatt.
Platform serves
as a step-by-step guide on how any author, business owner, sales people or
pastors can build a platform or expand an existing one using blogs and social
media.
"This book is a for someone who
has anything to say or sell," said Hyatt.
The book is divided into five parts /
steps:
• "Part One: Start with the
Wow" talks about how to make a compelling product by making sure the
experience of the user exceeds the expectation.
• "Part Two: Prepare to Launch" helps the reader create a mindset to succeed by having clear goals and team.
• "Part Three: Build Your Home Base" teaches a reader how to draw and build an online audience through blogs.
• "Part Four: Expand Your Reach" gives the ins and outs to using Twitter and Facebook.
• "Part Five: Engage Your Tribe" is on how to monitor comments and follow up with blog readers.
