As a publicist, Ryan works with authors to find their target audience, reach out to them on the web, and build a following. He also helps authors navigate the world of ebook publishing and coaches them on how to successfully market themselves and their ebooks.

During the first phase of Vyrso’s prelaunch, Ryan helped Vyrso’s Facebook page grow from zero to over 9,000 “likes” in less than a month.

He is also a regular contributor to the Logos blog, Newswire emails, and the infamous, “Brilliant Ideas” whiteboard at Logos HQ.

This unique process worked so well Ryan decided to share it. In the spring of 2010 he created Terrible Business Ideas (currently in hibernation), a website where people submit ridiculous ideas ranging from Floppy Tunes (a floppy disk car stereo) to Bible Burger (a pun-filled religious restaurant). Those who submit TBI’s also have the option to include details on how the product will be marketed, who would buy it, and so forth.

As Ryan describes, “TBI is like throwing a designer, business consultant, and your goofy uncle all in the same room. It’s unusual, surprisingly beneficial, and a whole lot of fun.”

Although Ryan is not taking clients at this time, you can follow him on Twitter to learn about today’s newest marketing strategies.
