This is one of the most common questions we get from aspiring authors, first time authors, and authors who have launched books.
You wrote your book or contributed a chapter to a collaboration book for a reason -- to help people, make an impact, inspire others, share important information, tell a story that needed to be told, or possibly to entertain the world...
Writing the book is only the FIRST step. Marketing and selling your book, getting “your baby” into the hands and ears of readers around the globe, are the crucial steps many authors need help with.
No matter how good your book is, how well written, or how awesome your book cover looks, you must have a marketing and sales strategy if you want your book to actually sell. Even the best book, story, or content in the world will not sell if people do not know about it.
Not knowing the steps to take to market and sell your book, get your book into readers’ hands around the globe, launch for success, and make a bigger impact can feel confusing and deflating.
There are many reports that tell us the average self-published author sells about 250 books, and the average published author will sell about 3000 books. In other words, too many authors are ending up with books in their basements and unopened cardboard boxes rather than in the hands of appreciative readers.
When you know the WHY for your book, the WHAT and the HOW are much easier to create (and to put into successful action).
Raising Big Dreams starts with daily consistent actions and baby steps. Little steps and daily actions lead to big results! It takes a team to raise a dream...
Raise a Dream in partnership with Women Speakers Association Present:

Every time I tried one of Charmaine’s strategies, I could feel my confidence growing...
Charmaine, the Your Book As A Business program was just what I needed. Joining your course was an awesome period of working with you and learning how to create my brand as an author, building and growing my book business and selling books!
Charmaine was generous with her knowledge that she had gained over the years when promoting her books. She shared so many tips and resources that were valuable and appreciated. Every time I tried one of Charmaine’s strategies, I could feel my confidence growing because they worked!!
I became more willing to reach out and let people know about my book, Mirroring Your Vision® and the importance it brings to the world. Now I’m involved in a collaborative authors’ book, in preparation for our best seller's campaign, and filled with inspirational stories from women. Charmaine, THANK YOU so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. You truly have been a blessing in my life.

I was blown away by [Charmaine’s] knowledge and professionalism.
Charmaine was very generous with information that she knew would help us. I was blown away by her knowledge and professionalism.
I was writing a very basic book, but during the course I realized that I needed to give value and I practically re-wrote the whole book. I felt that instead of just putting words on paper, I should write a book that would transform lives the way Charmaine was helping me transform my life as an author.

Before taking the course, I had been rudderless...
Would I recommend Your Book as a Business to others? Absolutely! In fact, I have already told people this was the most content-rich course about this subject I have ever taken. So many more tools in my toolbox now. My challenge is where to start!
Before taking the course, I had been rudderless - trying many different things to get exposure and sell books. I was fixated on marketing. Because I was introduced to so many additional new tools and directions I could take with my book, I felt a bit overwhelmed. The course forced me to go back to the beginning and rediscover why I wrote my book in the first place before I could begin implementing some of the new strategies. As a result, I have been in the process of redefining my target market and repositioning the brand.
With this new-found clarity, I feel much more confident in prioritizing which direction to go first and then allow the rest to joyfully fall into place.

Charmaine... provides you with a blue-print on what to do next
Writing a story for a book I found to be the easy part. But then what do you do after that? What are the next steps?
That’s where Your Book as a Business program fits in perfectly. Charmaine pretty much provides you with a blue-print on what to do next. I gained so much knowledge and insight about options and opportunities to promote my book that I had never considered.
One of the biggest things I learned was about connecting with Non-Profit Organizations. This can lead to more book sales or business with them or other organizations they work with.

Charmaine’s strategies… worked beautifully.
I used several of Charmaine's strategies on building partnerships and raising funds for my Guinness World Records™ campaign and they worked beautifully.
I was not only able to fund the campaign and set a world record, but also empower many children to think positively in the process. I am so thankful for her knowledge and insight.

My business has doubled in reach, revenue, and impact.
What I have valued the most is the support I received. When I stumbled upon Women Speakers Association, I was simply looking for a place to practice my speaking. I found so much more, I found a group of women who cared about my well being, the health of my business, and the goals I wanted to achieve. They provided a platform that helped transcend my business to the next level by providing me the nurturing I needed, teaching me how to interview with impact, scale my business and grow my network for no additional fee.
During the first 6 months of being a Premier Member, my business has doubled in reach, revenue, impact not to mention the personal development and growth I have experienced. I have never been a part of a group like Women Speakers Association, whose primary concern is your success.

...this course practically left no stone unturned!
Already a two-time best-selling co-author by the time Women Speakers Association (WSA) introduced me to this course, I knew that I would benefit from a step-by-step guide to leveraging every aspect of my books, as I delve into solo publications.
Still, I was surprised to find that this course practically left no stone unturned! I'm still going through the course guides and materials, and finding great peace of mind in recognizing things I would surely not have considered, otherwise. Thank you for creating this very rich course for authors!

...my book has been advertised all over social media.
I love the online [Women Speakers Association] community because I can not only share my expertise but learn from others! Connecting with members of the community has actually brought me clients, even though I wasn’t looking for them! The online community is a place where I can share my speaking tips and be seen as an expert. I also use the online group platform to find speaking opportunities or put into practice information I’ve read from other experts.
By participating in some of the programs WSA offers, my book has been advertised all over social media. I don’t have this skill set or the time and joining up with WSA made sense!

Your Book As A Business class with Charmaine Hammond was one of the best investments that I ever made to assist me in using my books as a business and speaking.
Charmaine has a wealth of knowledge and she doesn't mind sharing. I was amazed at the huge amount of resources and information that was given. I would recommend signing up for her next class.
She was hands on and available even in between the meetings. There is a lot of information regarding sponsorship that was part of the Raise a Dream class as well. Thank you Charmaine for all you do.

Doing a strategy call with Charmaine literally blew my mind with all the potential ways I could maximize relationships with corporate sponsors.
Charmaine is very caring, enthusiastic, creative, and incredibly resourceful. She gave me phenomenal advice on how to approach sponsors, establish relationships, being really specific with my asks, and how our relationship can benefit both of us.
I highly recommend Charmaine if you want to know how to develop effective, long-term relationships with sponsors.

GREAT question! A great time to be building your marketing and sales strategy for your book is while you are finishing it. You don’t need to wait to be finished your book to participate in the course. Often authors wait until their book is completed and out in the world to start marketing it. The challenge is that you will have missed months and months where you could be building your author platform, positioning your expertise on podcasts and shows, and announcing your upcoming book (building a reading audience and buzz so people can’t wait until your book is out).
Charmaine’s first book went best-seller several times before the book was launched. She achieved that result because she had more than 30 radio interviews talking about the book to build the audience, so once it was available for presale on Amazon, it hit the best-seller status several times before launch. WSA Publishing authors have also seen the value of building their author platform and preparing their marketing strategies while waiting for the Voices of the 21st Century book to launch. Join us. 
You’ll be glad you did!
In Your Book as a Business we teach you strategies (that work and are free) to build your reach and grow your impact. Being part of the program provides you with the opportunity to be part of the Raise a Dream community and the Women Speakers Association community. This is a fast and effective way to grow your reach and be part of communities that have more than ½ million collective reach.
This program helps you create your marketing and selling plan and helps you turn your book into a business. WSA Publishing can help you publish your own book or be part of a collaborative book. This is a great way to become a published best-selling author. Gail Watson, Founder of Women Speakers Association and WSA Publishing (the publisher of Voices of the 21st Century), reminds us in the forward of Voices that, “Our ability to speak is perhaps our most powerful force as human beings, and how we choose to use our words makes all the difference in the world… Whether your stage is the classroom, the boardroom, or the kitchen table – your voice matters.”
Write a book. Write a chapter. Both are great ways to be a published author and you can make either book a business!
YES! We pride ourselves on providing the how tos and the actual steps so you don’t have to figure it out on your own. We also provide you with tip sheets, templates, scripts, and samples that you can model your marketing and selling strategies around.
We’ve got your back. If you have any questions, you can connect with us in the Insider Group (our private Facebook community and group). You can ask questions of Charmaine as well as other authors and members of the community. Gone are the days of muddling along, struggling through alone, and recreating what has already been created for you.
YES. In the course content, you will hear examples and also receive interview recordings where authors talk about the ways they made their book a business. This way, you get many perspectives (and ideas!). As well in the Insider Group (private Facebook group), you can connect with the authors in the group and share experiences and ideas.
You bet! In fact, it is one of the first challenges that Charmaine and the course put out. What will be the plan you create to recoup your investment in the program. Then, what are your sales goals for your book for the next 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and year.

I had to learn all this and figure it out. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars in coaching, hiring experts to learn what I needed to learn. Everything that I teach, I have done (many times).
When you join Your Book as a Business, you get the benefit of learning from my 24 years of being a business owner, speaker and entrepreneur, my 10 years of being an author, my 15 years of experience in the sponsorship, collaboration and fundraising for projects sector, and—now—my experience in the movie industry.
My goal is to make selling and marketing your book easier for you than it was for me, help you avoid costly mistakes, and have FUN in the process. I hope to see you in our Insiders Community Facebook group.
