I was all set.
Today was going to be the day.
I knew from the pre-orders on my new book, \”Click Here to Order: Stories of the World\’s Most Successful Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs\”, that we were on the verge of making history with an instant best-seller.
And then… it happened.
I received a call from my publisher, David Hancock.
David is not one to be given to overexcitement, but there was something in the sound of his voice when he called me on Tuesday of this week
\”Joel…\” he said… \”We need to talk. Call me asap\”
I phoned him back as soon as I got the message.
He said, \”I\’ve got good news and I\’ve got better news… but there is some bad news as well\”
\”What\’s the bad news?\” I asked.
David says, \”You need to delay the big Internet launch of your book.\”
I asked why.
\”Because the booksellers believe this book is going to be MUCH bigger than initially anticipated, and they are BEGGING you to hold off on your unprecedented Internet push!\”
YIKES!
I asked what that meant and why did they want to delay?
He confessed that things move slower in the traditional book industry and that the MAJOR booksellers wanted more time to prepare for their own marketing push to equal what I had already planned.
And, of course, more books would need to be printed in order to meet demand!
So the good news is the book is in big demand.
The better news is that it looks like Click Here to Order is going to be read, not just by everyone who has ever dabbled in Internet marketing, but also by thousands of small business people who want a look inside our world!
The bad news?
My customers will have to wait for our big launch until Tuesday, September 2nd.
I\’m sorry to have to do this, but I promise it will be totally and completely worth it.
The early reviews are fantastic and I can\’t wait to get this book into your hands!
What can you do while you are waiting?
Enter the \”Click Here to Order\” contest and find out how you can win an all-expense paid trip to Colorado to spend a dream day masterminding with me and my team!
I\’ll be giving away a number of autographed copies of the book as well, so be sure you get your entry in before we close it off.
In the meantime, you might want to check with your local Barnes and Noble or Borders and pre-order your copy in the store.
Continued demand will get them to hurry up and stock the books asap!
So that\’s the big news for today. I appreciate your patience in waiting for this title to arrive, and I look forward to seeing your entry on the blog.
