I just received all my mockup ads, posters, flyers, and book trailer from Jen, the graphic designer for LaShay Nicole Publishing Solutions. All I can say is WOW!! The quality of everything is top-notch. If you want professional ads and an incredible trailer, look no further.

Barbara, Julie knows her stuff, yes through a year plus I have figured much of this out, but speaking with Julie she validated much of the struggles. Having Julie as your Social media guide will speed things up. Pick her brain, for Where to place your time. And understand that it is a slow process and building an organic audience is best

I had my first sesson with Julie Simmons today. I have much to learn regarding social media, and Julie is a treasure trove of knowledge. She showed compassion for my specific needs and led her expertise at a pace tailored to me. I am thrilled to have her services. I know I can make it in this world as an inde author with the right people in my court and Julie is definitely one of them, thank you, Julie.

Wow! Barbara, you're a true sales and marketing rockstar! Your insight on perception and belief in oneself is spot on. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and your offer to share your expertise is generous. I'm sure many will benefit from your teachings. Keep shining and helping others succeed!

If you're not sure where to start, start here. Promotion can be intimidating and scary, but with with Barbara's help and the help of her talented partners I have been blessed with an incredible new website designed by Brooks Elite Contacting as well as, several beautiful advertising mock-ups, and an interview about my book being created by Jen Dial. They are both wonderful ladies and easy to work with giving me the support I needed when I felt completely out of my depth. Thank you. Blessings from our glorious Lord God almighty Barbara to you and your team.

must-read for anyone interested in mental health, personal growth, and the resilience required to overcome life's most challenging obstacles.

I don’t have words to express my gratitude. Barbara has been a gift from God. As I begin my publishing journey, feeling lost and overwhelmed, she has stepped in and taken the reigns for me. She has a heart of gold and is a wealth of information, giving me genuine support for my project and the feeling that I have made a friend. I give her my highest recommendation.

Barb worked with me for the past several months on a big project, a series of three books. She has worked with me every step of the way, from editing, marketing and everything in between. She is always available for endless questions, going the second, third, etc. mile. My project would never have come to fruition without her/company.

I know Barbara from quite a while, I met her around end of 2013 or starting of 2014. I used to join lots of anxiety group and trying to get help, and in some anxiety group she posted about her group where she was giving her book(12 Healing Steps Out of the Pain of Abuse) for free and I saw that and immediately joined the group. And in her group and reading her book help me in way I can't even explain.

I been sexually abused when I was 13 year old but I kept it as secret until I met Barbara her book and her group encouraged me to open up and let it out that hurting secret.

I did not even know its been hurting me until I let go. After I let it out I felt tons of pressures has been released.

And because of her I able to understand this feeling and learned to share. And I also told about my abuse to my psychiatrist and she understand.

I not only got help from her I learned lots of things from Barbara and I really enjoyed her groups, I had great time with her and I have met great people cuz of her.

I was so shy at first she encouraged me and I remembered that I have posted my first picture in her group. And I had good response from her and her group moderator name Lizzy Daniels. Caring people.

She is blessing.

Barbara Elaine Kompik I think that your focus on selling books at in-person events in order to retain more of your own profits rather than losing them to the middle man like Amazon, is great. After doing my first event last weekend, I realize that face-to-face is the best way to sell. Online, I am one of thousands of others doing the same thing, but when you have real live people in front of you, it's a totally different ball game. You are able to make a personal connection and pitch your book to the people who stop at your table. The author's enthusiasm can be felt, thus making it more likely that people will follow through with buying the book. I also loved your advice about how to make your table appealing. I think it really worked for me.
