We were on our way to the park yesterday, and my 7-going-on-70-year-old said, ‘Mummy, do you know Newton’s 1st law?’ 

‘Oh, err, what? Theo! Leave that dead slug alone. No. NO! Put. IT. Down.’ (1.)

While my 3 year old poked at the gooey mess, I ransacked the file in my brain for the drawer labeled, “Stuff you learn at school but never need again—until you have a kid.“

‘Don’t you know it? It’s the law about objects in motion staying in motion.’ 

‘I vaguely remember it from schoo—THEO, don’t squeeze it. Oh, God. Please, put it down.’

‘Science Max told me. He said unless there’s another force acting on it, everything wants to keep moving forward! FOREVER.’ Elliott's eyes lit up like I'd given him a big bag of sweets.

‘Hmm…that is interesting. Oh Theo, what’s that orange goo? No, don’t wipe it on your tee—’ I let out a long sigh. ‘Nevermind…’ 

Elliott is right though, Newton’s 1st Law is interesting, isn’t it? 

Everything wants to keep moving forward, even people. 

We hate feeling stuck. 

Even in a traffic jam. 

But once you get a bit of momentum, you’re off, you’re up and running. 

You’re moving forward.

The stories in your head are no good unless you write them down. 

The more you write, the more momentum you have.

It’s the same with marketing (ahem, like emailing regularly). It only works if you keep going. 

But there are a lot of forces that can slow you down and hold you back. 

I know. I’ve been there. 

I’ve just helped a debut children’s book author with his launch strategy. 

He’s been stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, with the launch date looming.

He’s got a trad publishing deal but they’ve bombarded him with generic advice the from the 90’s. 

Advice like this... 

Make sure to plan your launch near pay day.   

Ugh. Really? Is that the best they’ve got?

I mean, talk about losing momentum. 

If you can relate and feel like your marketing has the momentum of a dead slug smeared down a toddler’s tee-shirt, I want to make you an offer. 

It’s super affordable and I’m not yet sure how long I’ll keep it up for. 

It’s called, unsurprisingly, the dead slug Momentum Injector Audit. 

During my time as a copywriter over the last three years, I’ve analysed sales funnels and helped clients iron the kinks in their websites and offers. I often see authors making similar mistakes. 

Sometimes it’s about how the book is framed, sometimes it’s in the lead magnet strategy, and sometimes it’s down to the emails they’re sending. But often, it’s costing them readers (and money **cough cough**).

The reason I want to help is because I’ve made these mistakes too. 

So the Momentum Injector Audit will be a deep-dive into your current book marketing strategy. 

I’ll ask you about where you’re at in your author career, what’s working, what’s not working. Then I’ll write a report and suggest ways to plug in the gaps. 

There’s no snazzy sales letter for this offer and I’m not sure I’ll make this a regular thing.

But for just £120, I’ll help you get unstuck and inject some momentum in your marketing with a clear plan of action. 

I won’t go into the guts of how it works here, but you’ll get a video recording of our conversation and a report with my recommendations. 

If that sounds like something you’d like to take me up on, just click the link below.

I could use some momentum

Angie.

(1.) I feel it important to point out that the slug was very definitely already dead BEFORE Theo got his mitts on it.
