Too many authors think that simply having a book is enough to get noticed. But in this day and age, anyone who comes across your name is certainly going to run it through Google or another search engine to check you out. Who are you? What do you do? Where do you hang out? Can I trust you? Do I like you? These are just a few of the questions on someone’s mind as they make google eyes at you.

That’s why I use videos and other web 2.0 technologies to “get around” on the web and show you who I am. Yes, even as someone who is mostly blind, I can manage to do videos.

As an author coach, I want you to know that you can trust me, and in this skeptical age, I have to SHOW you by what I do online. Watch one of them below.

Below is an excerpt from a media release that appears on Glenn Dietzel’s Author and Grow Rich website. He taught me about using videos for education of my target audience.

“Ronda Del Boccio studied the publishing industry and understood its pitfalls. She knew she could write a book and knew she would have to learn about sales and marketing. But she had no idea how to break out of the “poor writer” mode until she found the step-by-step approach that showed her how to grow her reputation and develop a business around her book.

“Del Boccio invested in a proven system that teaches would-be authors how to write a money-making book in 12 hours of actual writing time and use it as a lead generator for a thriving business. She learned how to utilize web 2.0 technology, such as creating videos and working with forums and social bookmarking sites, to promote her book and business.”
