Hello!

I have been totally remiss in keeping you in the loop as we approached the kickoff for this course, but I'm so excited that you are here and hope you're ready to learn ALL the things!

Your journey through Strategic Author Marketing Starts starts today!

Lesson 1 - Introduction to Life Cycle Marketing is available now! You'll access your course by logging in at

I'll send an email each week when the lessons are live to remind you to check it out.

If you have trouble logging in, try a password you might have used with no symbols...

Or, you can reset your password pretty easily (ask me how I know...)

There is a course objectives/intro section if you haven't already taken the time to meet me and introduce yourself. Then, there is written Intro to Life Cycle Marketing, and a video with some homework questions for you.

You'll want to set aside about 30-40 minutes to complete this introduction video, reading, and respond to the Homework questions on the message board.

I encourage you to engage with the others on the message board as well. This cohort will be learning and growing together - and we ALL have wonderful things to share. You might connect with someone in your genre and decide to dive deeper into this marketing journey together!

I'm super excited to see what happens over the next 7 weeks. I hope you are too. In a course like this, it is important to recognize that how much you will get out of it is often determined by how much time and effort you put into it.

I hate to say it - but I don't have a silver marketing bullet for you. (I know - I really wish I did!) What I do have is a process that will help you make decisions and create a strategy that works for you. But each strategy created in this class will look different - because each author is different! So I'm going to give you tools, but you have to show up and do the work.

If you have any questions, please reach out and let me know! I'd love it if you'd respond to this email so I know you received it!

Next week, we'll dive into the real meat of the cycle as we talk about Product Creation.

See you in class!
