Author John Haines Discusses How He is Promoting In Search of Simplicity 

February 13th, 2009

Today’s podcast is part two of an interview I did with John Haines, author of In Search of Simplicity. In the first interview we learned all about his book and in this interview John shares with us how he is promoting his book. One concept John talks about is the need to be patient and persistent when launching a new book using social media and I can’t agree more. The key to promoting a book today is using social media to start a conversation about your book and connecting with the market influencers in your genre. To help authors effectively use these tools, Authors On The Net has recently released an online coaching program called The Author Platform. As an Authors On The Net member, you receive special VIP pricing of 40% off each program. Just enter the code 4TYOFF when you sign up. Listen now to see what John is doing.

Author John Haines Discusses His New Book: In Search of Simplicity 

February 13th, 2009

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with John Haines, author of In Search of Simplicity. John was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario and now lives with his family in New Zealand’s lightly populated and stunning subtropical Far North. His simple life includes the growing of an abundance of organic vegetables and fruit and assisting his wife in the homeschooling of their two daughters. He broadcasts a popular weekly one hour radio interview program that is simultaneously carried on local cable television. He’s lived in The Netherlands (twice), Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Mexico and Arizona, together with his first 25 years in Ontario, Canada. He met his beautiful Dutch wife Lucia in India during an 11 month period in the Himalayas. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce and MBA degrees, and is a qualified teacher of the Power of Sound and Touch for Health.

The almost unbelievable chain of coincidences described in In Search of Simplicity led John around the world to Santa Fe, New Mexico. His profound experiences and experiments with Truth, simplicity, self-sufficiency and the Spirit of Nature in New Mexico, Arizona and beyond are the subject of the upcoming sequel to In Search of Simplicity. He’s completing that book now.

To arrange for speaking and/or playshop opportunities in your area contact John by email at johnhaines@xtra.co.nz or peacejourney@hotmail.com . Playshops can be created to suit the needs of your group.
