Everything You Need to Start and Run Your Business as a
My Life and Stories Memoir Mentor
Everyone has life stories. Everyone would love to save them and pass them on for generations to cherish. They will, with your help.
Think about this:
Do you have a beloved parent, grandparent or relative who is gone now?
Do you ever wonder about their lives, their adventures, their struggles and joys?
Do you wish you knew more about them? Do you wish they had recorded their stories to pass on to your children and grandchildren?
But now, their life stories, as they would have told them, are lost forever. How sad...
It doesn’t have to be that way. You can help people avoid this loss. You can help them audio record and preserve their precious memories.
Especially older folks. (Talk about a huge market!)
Very, very few ever record their stories for their children and grandchildren.
In fact, most people think about it but don't do it.
Or, if they do, they find it too hard or too expensive. Until now.
Now, as a My Life and Stories Memoir Mentor, you will help people audio record their live stories to be cherished for generations at an affordable price. And they will be so grateful for your help.

Sure, life will return to normal in time. And people will welcome you into their homes again.
But it is no longer necessary. People are happy to do Zoom meetings. And you can record these meetings with one click on your computer.
Not only that, but you can now do this business anywhere and everywhere. There are NO limits.

That would only take about 8 hours a week.
You can make good money and have such fun.

All this for a one time investment.

As a My Life & Stories Memoir Mentor you make it easier for clients to remember and to tell their stories in a clear and easy to listen to manner.

It is a one-time investment.
You get:

We want to be clear about this: to be successful you will have to reach out to potential clients and their adult children.
But most of what you will do is marketing. No cold calling.
We provide you with a complete set of marketing materials (emails, PowerPoints and suggestions for building your business).
This is not a hard sell. My Life and Stories is an attractive and interesting service.
When you explain what you can do for clients many will be interested. But, as always, there will be those who say no. That’s fine.
The market is huge and when you follow our suggested marketing and sales guidelines you should do very well over time.
Every client is different.
Some clients can talk for hours without getting tired. If so, it may take one or two sessions to record their memoir.
Other clients may need shorter sessions.You and your clients will decide how long and how many sessions are needed.
Expect two to three one-hour visits at a minimum but more if needed.
If you decide to visit clients and do not already have this equipment, you will need:
• A laptop computer (Mac or PC)
• Or, a desktop computer
• A Smartphone (Apple or Android)
• A microphone (if you plan to record on site. You won't need a mic if you just use Zoom or Skype)*
• A jack (same as above)*
• Audio editing software (We suggest a free app called Audacity. We show you how to use it)
*The microphone and jack are not expensive.
Written or videotaped memoirs are VERY expensive. The cost (often starting at $5,000 and up) is far too much money for most people.
Written memoirs often require an editor or ghostwriter.
Videotaped memoirs require camera people and editing.
Both are very time consuming and expensive.
Audiotaped memoirs can be completed at a much, much lower cost and much faster than the other options.
Many more people can consider an audiotaped memoir because the cost is so reasonable. That makes your market much larger than the other methods.
And audiotaped memoirs are just as valuable.
Think about how many people listen to podcasts. Or the radio.
An audiotaped memoir is just as enjoyable and will be cherished just as much as the more expensive approaches.
The My Life & Stories system is as follows:
Yes, indeed, you can complete memoir audio recordings remotely.
There are two ways:
1. Use a conference call app such as Zoom. You can audiotape the calls. (We show you how; it's easy)
2. Use your SmartPhone to record the calls.
Sure, people can do this on their own.
But they will quickly find out that it is not as easy as it seems. And, they will see that they need help.
They need someone (you) to help them prepare, to prompt their memories and round out their stories and edit out mistakes and start-overs.
In other words, they need a mentor; a My Life and Stories Memoir Mentor - YOU!!!
They will be so glad they hired you. You will have helped them do something that will delight their family for generations to come. A great legacy. A great gift.
