I’m crazy.

And I need the support of a small army of people who are even crazier than me.

I’m putting together an Influencers Group to help me create a groundswell surrounding the launch my new book The Power of Starting Something Stupid. The release date is March 5th. I’ve spent six years putting this baby together, and now, I’m in search of a dream team of authentic, dedicated, positive and proactive wave makers to help me spread the word over these last few weeks before and after the book hits shelves on March 5.

It won’t be allllll fun and games (just mostly). I’m going to need a lot of help. It’s going to be work. There may be blood, sweat and tears. (Joke. Okay, half joke.). But, I promise you’ll get a glimpse into the other side of the book world and much more.

(Hat tip and deep gratitude to bestselling author Dan Pink for the following idea. Buy his new book To Sell is Human. I have it. I love it. You’ll love it.)

Here’s what I promise you if you join the Influencers Group:

• Advance reader’s edition (galley copy) of The Power of Starting Something Stupid. You’ll see the book before the rest of the world. A galley is a rare, pre-publication (a collector’s item if you will).
• Audio download of Résumés Are Dead and What to Do About It.
• Access to me (and the other influencers in the group) in an exclusive Facebook group during the period surrounding the launch. This group may just turn out to create mutually beneficial relationships that could last a lifetime. You never know.

Here’s what you promise me you’ll do if you join the Influencers Group:

• Share information about the book far and wide—leveraging your unique strengths and avenues of influence.
• Post a review of the book on Amazon.com on March 5, and encourage others to do the same when they read the book. (Under current FTC rules, you’ll need to disclose your participation in the group and your receipt of the galley.)
• Join the Influencers Group (link will be sent to you if accepted) on Facebook, and be an active participant and collaborator: sharing ideas together to help each other more effectively spread the word.

Important note: This offer is only available to US citizens. There’s limited space available, thus not everyone who applies will be accepted as part of the Influencer Group. A panel of qualified individuals will select the influencers for me. Don’t blame me or feel bad if you’re unable to participate. I still love you and am infinitely grateful for your support. :-)
