Be Brilliant at Publishing!

ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT SUCCESSFUL PUBLISHING?

More importantly… Are you profitable? Have you reached your goals?

What does this election mean to you as a publisher for the next four years? And do you need to alter your Strategic Plan because of it?

Wish you could ask someone in the publishing business for almost 40 years all those perplexing strategic, marketing, and just plain obvious questions? … Of course you do!

Get rock solid advice without paying for mentors, staff, or contract consultants? Just someone who has decades of solid, profitable, and revenue-creating experience, who will listen, then answer you clearly, without a hidden agenda or axe to grind?

Spend an hour. Spend two hours. But don’t spend a fortune. No long term contract or commitment. I call it ‘Publishing Therapy’.

Go completely EBook? Better not, EBook sales are flattening rapidly. Put out EBooks and print simultaneously? Depends on how much profit you want to make. POD instead of inventory? Better do the math AND assess the potential loss of profits. What about promoting on Facebook? Blogging? Invest in D2C programs? Bulk sales still work? Lots of questions about successful publishing in 2017…

Take the time…today… don’t postpone your success… Get your questions together. Email me to arrange a telephone consult.

So, what IS your strategic plan for 2017... 2018? So do your Planning NOW for 2017 and 2018! And what about 2018? Push like hell and make it big? Position yourself for future retirement? Keep the status quo? Sell Out?

I have achieved all of these ‘goals’… both, with my own companies, and with my client companies. That’s why you hire an expert… To help you achieve YOUR goals. I have over 35 successful years in the publishing AND in the consulting business… When I started, we were still waxing type to boards, using ‘rubies’, and everything was done by hand. Really.

Yes, it all starts with a Plan. I call it a Strategic Plan, but if that is too intimidating, then just call it a Plan.

If you have a Plan, statistics show that you are FIVE TIMES more likely to make it to ten years in business, and TEN TIMES more likely to retire from publishing comfortably. You read that right. No bullshit there.

I have a diverse and storied 35 year+ publishing background including: running a $6MM publishing company I started from scratch on a $10,000 loan; selling, for myself and clients, over $75,000,000 worth of books and related published materials in my career; writing seven books and eleven workbooks on subjects from income tax to managing non-profit organizations… and consulting with publishers of all sizes.

Even if you have written down a dozen questions to ask someone who has been through everything you haven’t, who can be unbiased since he isn’t actually sitting in your skin… and you really want to know the best route to your goals… then email me, today… confidentially, for a telephone consult.

I specialize in Strategic Planning, Exit Strategies, Growth Marketing, and Tax Planning for both businesses and their owners. I have successfully handled Turnarounds, Acquisitions, Sales of Client Companies, and pretty much whatever has to be done to help the management of a publishing company succeed.

** I am pleased to announce that, after a brief hiatus, I have returned to the Publishing Brokerage business. In the first six months since my return, I have secured a number of new companies and/or lines for sale, and have a number of deals in the works… Business is brisk! I have been doing Publishing Brokerage since the early 1990’s, and specialize in deals under $5 Million… and, as far as I know, have been, and still am, the only reputable broker who still does $25,000 and $50,000 deals for single titles, lines, or small publishing companies.**

If you are looking to sell your company or a line or individual titles, OR want to acquire a company, a line, or titles, contact me promptly. I probably have what you are looking for or can find it quickly.

My award winning publishing newsletter, now in its 22nd year, is back! I took a hiatus for two years for personal reasons, but now, you will be included on our list for this 1-2 times a month newsletter, at no charge. I hope you will learn a great deal about publishing, as tens of thousands have over the years, and welcome you to the long list of publishers who read it regularly.

Make sense? Email me mfoner@nplconsult.com and let’s achieve those goals.

*And if you want a professional, ongoing consulting relationship, I can assist you with that as well.*

**And if you are in Southern or Central California… we might be able to arrange an in-person consult since I am also in the L.A. area.**
