HOW I GOT BOOKED ON A LOCAL TV SHOW AS A GUEST AUTHOR ~ Cooling Well Water...

It is with sooo much pleasure that I share with you that I will be appearing on the Early Morning Show on Channel 11, WBAL TV at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2009, in the Baltimore viewing area.

When I stated last week that I would be sharing about press/media releases this week, I had no idea what God had in mind. Smile. So, although my blog has changed a little, the message here is really an added blessing and I owe this latest success with "Cooling Well Water: A Collection of Work By An African-American Bipolar Woman" ISBN 13 978-0-9754612-0-4 to Pam Perry of Ministry Marketing Solutions at www.ministrymarketingsolutions.com. ~ !!!!:):):):)

Sister Pam has been a mentor for me in marketing my ministry. She is the vehicle God chose for me when I answered His call. He knew, knew, just knew, I was going to get frustrated, dare I say weary, and that I would need Divine help because the issue of mental illness carries so much shame and secrecy even among television producers.

Here's how Pam Perry's Ministry Marketing Solutions (www.ministrymarketingsolutions.com) helped me to get booked on a local TV News Program:

1) I received an invitation from Chocolate Pages by Pam Perry which I immediately accepted and joined that family;

2) Since then, I began reading her blogs and visited her website, www.ministrymarketingsolutions.com;

3) I subscribed to her e-mails about upcoming teleconfrences, teleseminars, and specials for boot camp;

4) I switched my phone service to Verizon's Freedom Package so I could attend unlimited teleconferences, teleseminars, workshops, etc. sponsored, endorsed, or otherwise facilitated by Pam Perry (Unlimited long distance fee in the Verizon Freedom Package area is $65.00/mo);

5) I attended every teleseminar, teleconference, special event show, etc. and took notes.

6) I then devised a strategy that I could afford and put it into play;

7) Twice a week I devote time to exclusive marketing of my ministry for individuals with a mental illness/prevention. This includes follow-up contacts and sending review copies to various producers, editors, book stores, etc.

8) The Best Practice was learning how to brand my message and mold it at the same time to current events. This became my "pitch" to media persons and it is my story;

9) I understood quickly that God was blessing me with a ministry and when you are obedient to what God has purposed for you to do, He sends Pam to help YOU. (Smile);

10) Every seminar or workshop I attended, I learned something different that was helpful;

11) As authors or publishers, we are professionals who must continuously educate ourselves on trends in the industry and readership. I constantly study these trends and just like doctors and lawyers must attend continuous education classes or workshops, etc., so should the serious author or publisher;

12) "Cooling Well Water: A Collection of Work By An African-American Bipolar Woman" ISBN 13 978-0-9754612-0-4 is a self-help book that will benefit individuals and families for generations to come.

14) Be inspired by my journey to reverse the climbing statistics about African-Americans denying themselves mental healthcare. Denial hurts us all and tolerating an untreated mental illness is not God's will for your purpose in life.
