Today is the when I finally tell you it’s time to pre-order my new book, Real Artists Don’t Starve. If you order it today, you’re going get some great bonuses. Here's how it works.
I'm giving away over $200 in free bonuses to anyone who orders the book before it comes out. To get them all you have to do is:
- Pre-order any version of the book at whatever retailer you prefer (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound).
- Forward your receipt to rads@goinswriter.com.
- Check your inbox for a link to instantly access your bonuses.
That's it! Pretty easy, huh? You can pre-order your book right here, and once you submit your receipt, I'll take care of the rest.
Why you should pre-order a book
But why should you pre-order a book in the first place? Maybe you’ve seen authors asking for this and don’t know why they do it. Well, here are a few reasons (in no particular order):
1. Pre-ordering a book helps the author
Maybe you don’t really care about this. But if you like this author and want this person to keep writing books, then supporting them during a book launch isn’t such a bad idea.
Preordering helps the author like this: When you preorder a book, it tells bookstores people want this book, which makes them typically stock more copies of the book, which of course means more people see it and buy it.
2. Pre-ordering guarantees the lowest price
Many book stores including Amazon offer a “preorder price guarantee” which means if you preorder a book and the price drops, you will get the best price. It’s like buying something at full price then seeing a discount the next week.
If you preorder, the book store will honor the lowest price. In the case of my book, it’s currently 34% off on Amazon right now.
3. Pre-ordering means you (sometimes) get bonuses
Authors will occasionally give away a special bonus with their new books. This can be something small like a bookmark or a sticker, or it can be something more valuable depending on the author.
In the case of my books, I always try to give away a ton of value as a way of saying “thanks” to all my early adopters. With Real Artists Don’t Starve, I am giving away an entire online video course absolutely for free, plus some other stuff.
So those are three reasons why you should preorder a book. Now. Deep breath. Here it is. Why you should pre-order my new book, Real Artists Don't Starve.
How to get $200 in free book bonuses
If you pre-order the book before 11:59 PM PST June 6, 2017, you will receive three bonuses worth over $200
Bonus #1: Real Artists Don’t Starve online course ($100 value)
In this 12-part video course, I will share how you can make a living off your art, whatever it is, elaborating on the principles in the book and sharing my own knowledge and experience from working with thousands of writers and creatives over the years. It really is possible to make a living doing this stuff. I’ll show you how.
Bonus #2: Expert interview transcripts ($50 value)
Learn from the hundreds of experts and Thriving Artists I interviewed during the research of my book. These are people you’ve never heard of before who are killing it. Not just famous musicians and artists and authors, but everyday people just like you who are thriving in their creative work.
Bonus #3: Exclusive community access ($50 value)
Get special access to a private Facebook group where I will answer your questions regularly and you can connect with others reading the book. I do a group like this for each of my books, and they’re always a fun way to connect with each other around the ideas in the book and dig a little deeper. Think online book club where you get exclusive access to the author — at no extra cost.
