Our expert authors are turning books into clients and clients into profits

"I should mention that my book has been the ‘ultimate’ marketing tool like you said it would be. From helping me get media and publicity, to using the book to lasso new customers, to using the book to generate referrals from existing clients, the book is delivering a positive ROI for my business. Also, the added credibility and authority status that the words ‘author of’ bestow makes a big difference."
Steve Clark

  • A major tipping point of my professional speaking career occurred at the 2005 National Speakers Association annual convention in Atlanta when I walked into the Advantage Media trade show booth and met their staff for the first time. Calling my decision to have Advantage publish my books ‘good’ is like calling the Wright Brothers bicycle repairmen. Six years, and five books later, I can candidly say that Advantage is a significant reason I am a million dollar speaker. Since that 2005 NSA convention I have turned down two major publishers and continued my relationship with Advantage. Why? They don’t just publish your book, they make sure it gets you booked!

    Steve Gilliland, CSP – Motivational Speaker

  • I wrote a book and had it available for a conference I was speaking at (for free). I only sold one copy of the book that day, but the conversations I had with other people about the book landed me five paid speaking engagements over the next three months. Being the author of a book has been a great boost to my consulting business.

    Dana Cadman, President of Cadman Communications

  • I firmly believe that, if done right, a book can change your life and the life of your business forever. I have personally made millions from my books. Not by selling copies in bookstores, but from the “invisible income streams.” I have gotten speaking engagements from my books. I have gotten 5 and 6-figure consulting and copywriting clients from my books. I have gotten thousands of members for Glazer-Kennedy Insider’s Circle from my books.

    Dan Kennedy, Co-Founder of Glazer-Kennedy Insider’s Circle

  • The biggest thing that has happened as a result of being a published author is the connections that I’ve made. I can open doors that I couldn’t before. These opportunities have been bigger. My book even landed me a 7-minute feature segment on The Today Show. The book has been transformational for me.

    Tara Kennedy Kline, Owner of TK’s Toy Box

  • One new client is worth $10,000 annually to my business. My book is the ultimate ‘door opener.’ As a published author, prospects immediately see me as a trusted advisor rather than a salesperson. I have gotten over 5 new clients as a direct result of the book.

    Brian Fricke, CFP – CEO of Financial Management Concepts

  • I have used the book as a lead generating device and as a secret persuader. I have also used the book to get interview on The Jim Bohannon Show, a nationally-syndicated radio program airing each evening on over 300 stations! My book has given me new-found credibility and an extra boost of ‘expert status.’

    Scott Tucker, CEO of Tucker Marketing Systems

  • The book IS the powerful marketing tool for my business that you said it would be. As you know, insurance is a commodity, and a boring commodity at that. The book is a conversation starter, a point of differentiation, and a credibility and expertise builder that has gotten me into the C-suite of prospective clients.

    Robert Phelan, CEO of Litchfield Insurance Group

  • A book is a necessary tool in taking you to the next level. I have been featured in the New York Times because of the book. I am so glad Advantage was there to provide the expertise that a new author needs to get her – or his – book published.

    Linda Franklin, President of Shining Service Worldwide

  • Becoming an author has added to my visibility, credibility, and clout as a healthcare practitioner, helping to shift my reputation from a ‘back-doc chiropractor’ to the ‘community health expert.’ My practice has soared as a result.

    Dr. Leslie Van Romer, President of VanRomer Chiropractic

  • [On publishing with someone else] “My original book, Keep On Keeping On, was published in 2005. I guess like most author’s publishing experiences, I was largely ignored. Getting a return phone call from my publisher took an Act of Congress! When I chose to re-publish my book in 2009 with Advantage Media Group, I had a feeling I was in for a different and far better publishing experience. It was 180 degrees different! Working with your editorial team has been incredible.

    Tim Wambach, CEO of the Keep on Keeping On Foundation

  • I value your friendship and I respect Advantage. You are indeed a company with a soul.

    John Winthrop, CEO of John Winthrop & Co.

  • Advantage Media was exceptional in every way. They are full service and have a clear and robust menu of capabilities and resources available. You can pick as many or as few as you want. No pressure. That is major. This was my first ever project and they nursed me through it with flying colors. I found them to be very customer centric. The other publishers were in it purely for the money. I will be using Advantage again.

    Gary Kunath, Founder of The Summit Group

  • The trip convinced me that I had done the right thing by signing with them. Each person seemed genuinely interested in playing their particular role in the publication and marketing of my book. They have been impressive in their choice of people who obviously work well together.

    Doreen Lehr, Ph.D.

  • Advantage Media Group ‘gets it.’ They understand that a book is a marketing tool to grow your business. Their team, expert guidance, and personalized approach deliver first-class publishing for the business professional. Advantage Media Group is THE company I rely on for many of my book projects and THE company I refer to my private clients. You will be wasting your time to look any further. And that’s no B.S.

    Dan Kennedy, Co-Founder of Glazer-Kennedy Insider’s Circle

  • I employed Advantage Media Group to publish my new book Living in Full Swing and was delighted with the entire process. Every staff person I worked with—sales, editing, cover design, publicity—was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and wonderfully creative. They worked WITH me and FOR me in crafting a book that I am very proud of. They kept me informed and in the loop on every step of the process—from title selection to final printing.

    Cathy Newton, President PRT Consulting & Motivational Speaker

  • Working with Advantage has been better than ever! Working with their team of experts, publishing gurus, and editors has been one of the best business experiences that I have ever had. I highly recommend Advantage to any and all.

    Jennifer Nicole Lee, Fitness Model and TV Celebrity

  • The team at Advantage is amazing. They are a high-caliber team that is concerned and pays attention to every detail. They are a key factor in making Advantage an exceptional publishing company; they work for and with the author.

    Tim Wambach, CEO of the Keep on Keeping On Foundation

  • I’m thrilled with Advantage. With big publishers, it takes 18-24 months from the time you write your book until it is published. Advantage can turn it out in a couple months with the highest quality standards – and make every author feel like they’re Ernest Hemingway!

    Pat Williams, Co-Founder of the Orlando Magic

  • I had no idea what the cover of my book should look like. I wanted something that was mainstream business, but I also wanted to tastefully capture the ancientness of the American Indian Philosophy that was the foundation for the book. They came up with a cover that I could have never imagined, but was right on target for what I wanted. They worked so tirelessly to help with the layout of the book, captured all the details and met all my concerns.

    Gary Lear, President & CEO of Resource Development Systems

  • I wanted to let the Advantage team know of an AMAZING compliment you received….(but really, Amy received [designer]) I am taking a masters photography class with a National Geographic photographer this week, and when she saw Voice of Beauty, she gasped and said… “Who was the designer? This is one of the best jobs I have ever seen of layout and design with photography!” She said she sees these books all the time, but Amy’s work really stands above the rest!

    David Johnson, CEO of Silent Images

  • The cover of the book was one of my main concerns…I just wanted it to capture the message and the tone of my book. From the beginning I knew I was in good hands with George Stevens [designer]! He got it right on the first try and I get comments everyday about the look of my book. I’m very pleased with how smoothly the process went.

    David Benzel, President of Growing Champions for Life

  • The book is everything I wanted and Advantage made it happen. If I would have self-published, my book would have had poor quality and the content would have been only a shell of what I wanted to create.

    Katherine Miracle, President of Miracle Marketing

  • I now have a book that is even better than my original expectations and you turned my initial efforts as an author into a glowing success.

    Jay Sterling, President Imagicorp

  • I felt that my best interests were always front and center with every single member of your team. I was treated like royalty, but was also challenged many times to stay on course and remain focused about the audience that I wanted to reach and what was in it for them.

    DJ Williams, CEO of Jetset Media

  • Your team did an exceptional job in publishing my book, Worry Free Retirement. From editing, to creative and design, to printing and distribution, everything was done in a first-class manner that resulted in a top-flight book that looks as good as the best-sellers from Random House.
