Join us for our first meeting of 2020 to learn from Mike Wolpert about how to use video marketing to sell more books.
For authors, marketing is usually about connection, community, conversation and then conversion into book sales. Video can be simply done, intimate and effective with just a little attention, planning, and polish.
Mike Wolpert loves a good story — he loves telling them, loves listening to them and most of all, loves helping cool and interesting people tell their stories naturally and elegantly on video so they reach more prospects, get more customers, and sell more stuff.
He has combined his lifelong passion for photography and decades-long career as a high performing radio advertising salesman (where he wrote hundreds of 60-second business stories). He founded the marketing consultancy Social Jumpstart 10 years ago to “reach and inspire business owners and entrepreneurs to use their stories as marketing to connect with customers and grow their sales.”

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
