Successful Self-Publishing Demystified: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living
Guest: NAIWE’s Well-Fed Expert Peter Bowerman
Self-publishing allows the author to retain control over the book, and this form of publishing is so much easier than it used to be. Even so, for the author who has never self-published before, this can seem like a daunting process. While writing is creative, publishing is a business and marketing is required to help the book succeed. In this teleconference, Peter Bowerman will discuss how to succeed as a self-published author.
Here’s what you can expect to learn in this class:
Develop a “marketing mindset” — minus the anxiety
Create a book that turns heads and grabs eyeballs
Find tons of reviewers anxious to publicize your book
Get your books into bookstores and keep them there
Build a cash-generating website that works 24/7
Avoid the fickle (and largely ineffective) mainstream media
Parlay one book into multiple income streams
Separate the print-on-demand hype from reality
Use social media to actually sell books (vs. waste time…)
Maximize e-book profits four different ways
