Publisher's summary

What if you could get in front of millions of prospects with the avid endorsement of famous influencers—without spending a dime?

It's happening right in front of you every day. Guest experts on TV, radio, podcasts, blogs, and live streaming are getting local and national exposure for their businesses and brands that they could never have afforded to reach with ads.

For a decade, Areva Martin has used the media to build a huge platform that expanded the influence and power of her brand exponentially. Media appearances on Dr. Phil, Anderson Cooper 360, The Doctors, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and more have virtually eliminated the need of a marketing budget for her thriving law firm and nonprofit organization while securing her place as one of America's most sought after thought leaders.

In Make It Rain! Areva breaks the silence to reveal what insiders know about the power of media appearances to revolutionize a business and brand and get your core message out to the people who need it most. You'll learn how to:

  • Match your brand to the right audience and media venues
  • Craft pitches producers can't resist
  • Jump on breaking news shows
  • Pivot and speak in soundbites like the pros
  • Amplify every interview with social media
  • Turn appearances into platform and become a rainmaker

Never before have there been more ways to build a presence that matters. Whether you are the executive of a corporation, the author of an upcoming book, the owner of a rapidly growing small business, or the public face of a local nonprofit or association, if you have a business to build or people you want to help, nothing beats using the media to create the visibility, influence, and power you need. Are you ready to Make It Rain!?

Needs pro narrator

The content was great but would have been much more listenable with a professional narrator. It was almost unlistenable.

Inarticulate speaker

The author is the narrator of her own book. She is well-educated and a good writer, but she should have hired someone to read for the recording of this audio book. It is terribly distracting to hear her pronounce “recognize” as “reconnize”, “advocacy “ as “avocacyz” and “integrate” as “innagrste”. There are many more examples. Her great content is undermined by her sloppy English.

This book is a game changer.

I appreciate ,Make it Rain!, because it focuses on how to make it rain. I like the analysis used especially chapters 2,6 and 7 . Areva, not only tells the story she is the story. This book is for everyone who is working on their Rain Game . I am reading this book for the fourth time. I have the audio and hard copy. My hard copy is marked up. Thank you Areva for sharing!

Great Book

I loved this book because it opened my eyes to things I wasn't aware of regarding growth through social media.

Unfortunately unhelpful

Most of this comprised of her working with Dr Phil and being on his show. It was like a huge plug for the Dr Phil show. No real useful information on how to create a platform or public presentation.

Thoroughly disappointed...

6 chapters in and I can't bear it anymore. The content never gets deeper than an introductory level. Perhaps the book was more relevant when it was written but if you've been promoting your business online at all in recent times, you probably won't gain much here. I had heard others highly recommend this book as a game changer, but I have not found content with that level of effect.
