    About this ebook

    Do you want to successfully self-publish in ebook, print and audiobook formats?

     

    There are thousands of new books being published every day, but many self-published books quickly sink to the bottom of the pile.

    Many authors are frustrated because there are so many options for self-publishing, and they don't know which one to choose or what will be best for their book.

    Others spend thousands of dollars to publish and end up broken-hearted with the result.

    But it doesn't have to be this way.

     

    I've spent over a decade self-publishing bestselling fiction and non-fiction books and in 2011, I left my day job to become a full-time author entrepreneur. I've made lots of mistakes along the way, but through the process of self-publishing over 30 books, I've learned the most effective way to publish and market your books. In this book, I'll share everything with you.

     

    The book includes:
    - What you need to know before you self-publish
    - Why self-publishing an ebook is a good idea
    - How to format an ebook
    - Exclusivity and going direct
    - How to self-publish an ebook
    - Why self-publish a print book
    - Print-on-demand will change your life
    - What you need to know before you print
    - How to self-publish a print book
    - What to do if you want help with the publishing process
    - How to self-publish an audiobook
    - After self-publishing
    - How much does it cost to self-publish?
    - How do you get paid when you self-publish?
    - Book marketing principles
    - How to market fiction
    - How to market non-fiction

    Plus, links to more useful resources.
