It's about balance, yo. No one can escape the dreaded burnout. Not even Elana, with her #1 Achiever and her #2 Competition that drive her to keep going, going, going. The fact is, she's been dealing with burnout on some level for a year now. She has some tips and tricks that allow her keep producing and working, but sometimes the answer isn't what you might think. Join her as she peels back a layer in her production schedule and her personal life, and learn how she continues to write, run a 7-figure business, AND be a human being.

 Oh, the buzz words in this title! If you're exclusive to Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, you can still be wide with other formats and languages of your books. This class will talk about the theory behind selling from your own website in paperback, ebook, and audiobook, how to grow and expand your audience in all formats on all the retailers as well. No two retailers are the same, and you shouldn't go at them the same way. Join Elana as she shares tips and tricks for each retailer, her own Book Shop, and how you can make your W wider and wider for your wide sales.

You can be the best marketer in the world, but as Elana has said multiple times over the years: "Your book should work harder than you do." Convincing people to pick up your book is only half the battle. Getting them to read it takes up another huge percentage. After that... Is your STORY converting New Readers into Readthrough Readers? And will those Readthrough Readers become Superfans? They will if you implement these 4 Cs of Good Story.

Look, we all want to sell books while we sleep, right? I know I do. I want to work less, make more, pull readers through my new releases to my backlist, have every book working for me all the time, and jump on every bandwagon out there.

Join Elana as she goes through her current marketing systems, how she's tweaked them over time to keep her backlist selling, capitalize on her new releases, and has added (or removed!) gears and gadgets to her Marketing Machine to keep it running as efficiently as possible. (Oh, the metaphors this class will have!)
