Is your book getting the attention it deserves?
If not, the contents below could be the single most important component
that catapults your writing career.
I know because that was true for me. Here's my story..  
Hello Author.
 
You're one of my favorite types of people. We understand each other because, in a way, we're part of an exclusive club. But, before we get too comfortable, we need to face the facts. 

Most authors never sell more than a few hundred books in their lifetime. Let's be honest—books were meant to be read, not just written. That means they need effective marketing. 

You might be thinking, "Marketing? Ouch!" Or even "Yuck!" Humor me for a second. Have you ever thought:

     • “An author’s job is to write, not market.”
     • “I don’t like people who self-promote.”
     • “A good book should stand on its own." 
     • “I don’t have a marketing or publicity budget.”
     • “I don’t know how to market my book.”

I used to say these as a way to justify my lack of success. Then after my third traditionally published book that went nowhere, I said, "there has to be a secret I'm missing." (See three books below.)

I wanted to go pro with my passion, but I knew the marketing piece was kicking my tail. And with three kids and a wife I wasn't about to leave my day job.
Then in 2010 I discovered a secret. I realized it all comes down to what I do in the Pre-Launch, Launch, and Post-Launch phases. I found out there is a right and wrong way to market a book. With my next four books—both fiction and non-fiction—I turned each of them into 6-figure businesses. Shortly after, I started my dream job and I haven't looked back since. (See 4 books below.) 

Until now, I've only shared my 12-step “Author Academy” Framework with high-end private clients. But after years of my author friends asking, I've decided it's finally time to share it with the world. 
This Author Academy Framework helped me: 
1.  Set a world record for the largest livestream book release party
2.  Partner with Hollywood celebrities (like The Warden from The Shawshank Redemption) to launch my book through an international media campaign
3. Launch a book and earn 6 figures in 6 weeks
Elixir Project Experience: $49,964
Elixir Project Becoming Unhackable Event: $68,563
It doesn't matter if you're self-published or traditionally published or if your book is fiction or non-fiction. The Author Academy framework even works if you need to republish one of your older books. I look forward to helping you market your book the right way.  Keep reading and you'll see what I mean.

about their marketing experience:
"Worth its weight in gold"
"I wanted to publish a book for over a decade. Now I have! If the program cost double the amount, it would still be worth its weight in gold. I did my research on may other programs. If there were an award for stellar servant leadership I would give it to Kary, hands down. 

The Igniting Souls Tribe is a group of rock stars, encouraging you every step of the way. In the middle of life's ups and downs you need a family that believes in you. These principles will take you to the next level successfully and authentically. The results speak for themselves. 
Bamidele Adenipekeun, Swansea, United Kingdom
"A College Degree in Marketing"
"Kary retains zero profit from your success. What he offers is the equivalent of a college degree in marketing and publishing. The material is sound, solid, and up-to-date. 

Plus you have lifetime access. It should cost twice as much for all the value."
Nanette O'Neal, Bethel, PA
"Invaluable...everything related to book marketing"
"I've learned an invaluable amount of information about everything related to the marketing of my book. I've also gained so much clarity about who I am marketing to.

Seeing all the video, step-by-step guides, timelines, and tactics, I can easily imagine that without this training I would have wasted another decade burning out on my dream. This program illuminated what was once very complex."
Ry Edwards, Minneapolis, MN
"Almost too good to be true"
"Kary Oberbrunner gives beyond measure. 
And the Igniting Souls Tribe is a family who stands by each other. 

It is almost too good to be true...but it is true. I would do this program again without hesitation. 
It has been the best investment I have ever made."
Petula Habbershaw, Essex, England
