$7.95 Marketing Plan

What if you could create a Brand and a Plan for $7.95.  Well you can, and you will, especially after reading this book.

Jim Kukral (@jimkukral) just finished the eBook “The $7.95 Marketing Plan, Build your brand for less than the prce of a Pizza!” at 795MarketingPlan.com. While everyone else is focused exclusively on sexy tactics and double talk, Jim is providing proven, timely and incredibly relevant ways to make things happen online.  I have already used the information in the eBook to start 2 new brands (more on that later).

I was fortunate enough to be the designer for the project.  My son, due to his infatuation with Pizza deserves credit as co-designer.  I had a crazy good time working with Jim, interpreting his vision and ideas into something visually eye-catching that would enhance the appeal and results from the book.

Copy Credit goes to Lisa Picarille (@lisap), who competely nailed it.  It flows smoothly and is a joy to read.

I’ll be releasing more details on what we did to create this eBook and how to create an awesome eBook layout, even if you can’t afford to hire a professional.  For now, take 30 mins, download and consume “The $7.95 Marketing Plan, Build your brand for less than the prce of a Pizza!
