Thank you! 00:23:24 Cole Claybourn: Christy, I don’t hear the beeping now that you’re muted, FWIW 00:23:41 Deena Adams: The beeping is gone 00:23:42 Christy Fuller: Oh no!

I have mine feel out a form and answer specific questions about areas I’m curious about. Some can be paid. 00:42:11 marybethdahl: *fill 00:43:00 Janet Morris Grimes: @sherryPalmer - asking their opinions - tell you what's working and what's not. You don't necessarily want to hear how great it is. You need feedback - people who read across genres and know what to look for. . 00:44:17 Sherry Palmer: Thanks Janet...how do you find a beta reviewer? 00:45:37 Tracy Crump: All they can do is say no. 00:47:17 RondaWells: am I nuts or is that the Downton Abbey house/ 00:47:55 Christy Fuller: It does look like Highclere! 00:47:56 Leah: It does look like the Downton Abbey house. 00:50:14 Sherry Palmer: Cant tell unless I see Matthew ❤️ 00:50:27 Robyn Monroe: I love, Love, LOVE this cover 00:50:32 Robyn Monroe: Book cover 00:52:09 Janet Morris Grimes: @sherrypalmer - others may be able to answer this better. But librarian friends, other writer friends, writers' group friends, maybe even teacher friends. People who won't just say "I love it." 00:52:24 Janet Morris Grimes: @sherrypalmer - simply because they love you. LOl 00:52:34 Robyn Monroe: Great idea! 00:52:52 Janet Morris Grimes: Holy Guacamole. I need more paper. 00:53:04 Elaine McAllister: and faster fingers 00:53:13 Tracy Crump: Me, too, Janet! 00:53:25 Tracy Crump: Yes, Elaine! 00:53:39 Cole Claybourn: This is such good stuff. I’m not great at this marketing stuff so this has been really helpful. 00:53:41 Melissa Stroh: I'm going to go back and take notes with the recording. No way I could keep up live. 00:54:10 Christy Fuller: Yes, everyone keep in mind, you can access our recordings for 180 days after the conference. 00:54:27 Leah: Melissa, that's what I'm going to do. Go back and take notes. So much to process right now. 00:54:40 Heather: Good reminder because I cannot write fast enough to keep up with all this great information! 00:54:43 Melissa Stroh: Yes! Amazing content! 00:54:54 Christy Fuller: JP has also included a downloadable handout. https://kychristianwriters.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Robinson_WritingBusiness.pdf 00:55:10 Cole Claybourn: I rarely get even five people when I do a live stream. Haha 00:55:16 Janet Morris Grimes: He's already outgrown this handout. IT's terrific! 00:55:16 Robyn Monroe: Amen 00:55:24 Brandy Brow: Screenshots are my friend. 00:56:04 Cole Claybourn: What are the best places to get profession reviews? Is this something we should include in our book proposal? 00:56:27 Cole Claybourn: *Professional reviews, that should say 00:56:41 Leah: I think Reader's Favorites offers free reviews. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. 00:57:37 Tracy Crump: ?Can you name organizations to approach for professional reviews? Would they review a devotional book? 00:57:37 RondaWells: love that tagline 00:58:27 Robyn Monroe: :-D 01:01:39 Janet Morris Grimes: This part is on the handout 01:01:51 Regina Walker: Best practice for asking to guest blog on someone else's platform and inviting someone to post on my blog? 01:02:37 Robyn Monroe: SEO SEO SEO 01:02:46 Robyn Monroe: The new Location, Location, Location 01:03:23 Elaine McAllister: NO JOKE. I don't know how you turn off your brain to SLEEP. You're phenomenally blessed with enthusiasm! 01:03:38 Deena Adams: I’m always interested in hosting people with stories of hope on my blog and I have a guidelines document I send to those who are interested. 01:03:38 Regina Walker: Am I trying to create enough content in Q1 for my blog to be on "auto-pilot" for the following quarters? 01:03:44 Melissa Stroh: I've struggled with knowing, technically, how to include key words. I use Yoast on my website, but a lot of that SEO stuff is Greek to me. 01:04:15 Regina Walker: Deena Adams - best way to connect with you?? 01:04:33 Elaine McAllister: Yes, Deena....contact info? 01:04:41 Cheryl Bolden: Q: We have the basic outline but will we have access to the actual presentation notes we are seeing on the screen? This is a lot of really good information. I don't mind going back and watching this again where I can get the details. 01:04:43 Deena Adams: deenamadams@gmail.com If you want to check out my blog, it’s deenaadams.com 01:05:05 marybethdahl: This is so good! 01:05:39 Christy Fuller: Cheryl, JP has provided a downloadable handout, but yes, you are welcome to rewatch the presentation anytime in the next 180 days. 01:07:11 Leah: How is LinkedIn a tool for authors? I'm confused on that aspect. 01:07:53 Regina Walker: Deena - I will be reaching out! I'm at reginawalkerauthor.com and reginawalkerauthor@gmail.com 01:08:14 Elaine McAllister: I will too, Deena - BFFGramma@gmail.com and elainemcallister.com 01:08:21 Tracy Crump: Good question, Leah. JP and I first connected on LinkedIn, and he asked me about reviewing his book. He definitely knows how to use it. 01:08:28 Janet Morris Grimes: Can you mention the 4Ps again? 01:08:37 Julie Cox: This was fast and fabulous--so much great information, and it makes so much sense. Thank you so very much! 01:08:39 Deena Adams: I look forward to hearing from you Regina! You too Elaine. 01:08:45 Melissa Stroh: Business networking is the big thing on LinkedIn, Leah. 01:08:59 sharonhcarpenter: whew! Drinking from a firehose! But I love it! 01:10:12 Tracy Crump: I wonder if critique groups are considered beta reviewers. 01:10:46 Brenda Flowers: This is definitely a session I will review....so much helpful information related to the business of writing. 01:10:56 Robyn Monroe: I agree Brenda 01:11:18 Jo Massaro: Let’s not forget book clubs. I’m founder of Yahweh Sisterhood Book club. I interview authors each month. 01:11:35 Heather: Definitely going to go back to this one again, and I'll make sure to have the handout printed out when I do! 01:12:06 Naomi Craig: Thank you JP You are an excellent presenter and have excellent information 01:13:24 Barbara Britton: Thank you, JP.

I have learned so much, and have so much more to learn. You are an excellent teacher and presenter and I have enjoyed your classes very much. 01:15:06 Naomi Craig: So--- the blog post as I understand it is getting your foundation sturdy for the quarter. focus on one are and then once that is solid move to the next 01:15:11 Janet Morris Grimes: What an incredible session. Thank you so much! 01:15:18 Elaine McAllister: JP, Thank you so much for your presentation. Amazingly full of information. Saturated with contagious enthusiasm! You're a delightful presenter. Great 'stuff'!! Thanks 01:15:21 Naomi Craig: (I don't remember who asked that) 01:15:40 Betty Owens: I'm going to need to watch this again, and also JP's other class. Great information, thank you! 01:15:58 Lori Scott: This has been an AMAZING class. JP, you totally rocked it. The way you presented the steps to follow make it easier to plot out a way forward with marketing. So thank you. 01:16:07 Leah: Thank you! 01:16:10 Melissa Stroh: I began using LinkedIn for research too, JP. It's an excellent resource there! Thank you for drawing attention to that! 01:16:24 Heidi Keiser: Thank you!

Excellent information. 01:17:56 Melissa Stroh: Yes, I'm interested in JP's books too. They look amazing! 01:18:03 Tracy Crump: Great session! 01:19:30 Robyn Monroe: Some of my social media followers dropped me. So be it. 01:20:08 Cole Claybourn: I also lost quite a few followers when I spoke up in support of BLM. It’s a shame people want to keep ignoring those type of discussions. 01:20:10 Deena Adams: Exactly why I refrain from posting about what’s going on right now. Even if I post with a pure heart other people comment and make it something else 01:21:05 Jo Massaro: I totally understand. Some of what i see is terrible and I do not respond on my page as well.I will post information and positive things as well. 01:21:07 RondaWells: My brain is exploding with all this great info!!! 01:21:07 Sally Jadlow: Could I please get the name again of the youTube interviews?
