Following fabulous canapes from the Impossible kitchen, Nik Maguire addresses the VIP guests discussing his journey and how he came to publish ‘Beyond PPC’
“Not only did I want to share my experiences of the last decade in helping businesses sell online, but I also wanted to implement a Social Proof Strategy for myself. Further building my online visibility not just through podcasts and video content but by writing and publishing a book of my own. It was when holidaying at a friends wedding on a yacht in Turkey that my drean to author a book become a reality as I found myself on the same vessel as ‘The Self Published Millionaire’, Joseph Alexander.”
Joseph Alexander is the co-founder of Self-Published.co.uk and publisher of over 120 original book titles. It was the chance encounter on that yacht in Turkey that brought the two together. Nik Maguire was able to advise Joseph on the launch of his new book “The Self Published Millionaire” from a digital marketing perspective and Joseph and his co-founder of self-published.co.uk, Tim Pettingale provided the books ghostwriting as well as a full array of book marketing and Amazon publishing advice, which helped propel Beyond PPC to No1 Bestselling book in 3 countries on Amazon for Social Media Marketing, E-commerce and Web Marketing within the first month of its launch.
Joseph Alexander addressed the audience and said:
“We believe everybody has a book in them and with Nik’s reputation as a Manchester influencer and socialite, I assumed he would want to write a novel on the secret side to Manchester nightlife and hospitality. What I did not expect to find was a marketing genius and intellectual heavyweight who wanted to write a simple and accessible book to help people find new ways to grow their businesses online and with social media. A book which he himself would be using as a lead magnet and business calling card for Social Proof Media”
“We have published over 120 books and ghostwritten autobiographies, music books and political biographies but helping Nik to publish Beyond PPC was one of the most rewarding ventures we have undertaken. Seeing his book reach number one in the charts gave both Tim and I huge satisfaction.”
