Course Description

There are 3,240 national and local talk shows in the U.S. every day, and 2.400 more in Canada and the U.K. Talk show appearances give you credibility and widespread recognition. Authors who promote on talk shows usually make more money and have more fun than those who don't.

The good news is that you can appear on talk shows without traveling. Most will interview over the phone. This means you can do several guest appearances in a day, for audiences spread from New York to Miami or Phoenix or San Francisco. During each interview you'll be able to give out a phone number, email address or a web address where your book can be ordered.
