Featured Quotes

“A street team is going to be a list of individuals who are going to be the supporters and promoters of your book as you’re looking to have that book written, published, and launched successfully. The idea is to get a group of people who are keenly interested in your success – and these might be friends, they might be family, they may be people that you connected with online, groups that you attend online or offline. These individuals are going to be that team for you to get the word out before, during, and after your book is launched.”

“The last thing I would encourage you in doing is just do it. Just build that team. Start small. Think of 20 people, 50 people, maybe even 100 people that you could connect with that are going to be those supporters, encouragers for you, John.”
