Whether you are a novice or an experienced self-publisher, reading this book will show you how to make more money self-publishing. The 14 profiled publishers are ordinary people just like you. They are mothers and retirees, a teacher and a real estate broker, corporate dropouts and fiction authors. They’ve written and published their own cookbooks and mysteries, business and educational titles, travel guides and women’s fiction. Most of them had no publishing experience when they first started their publishing companies. Yet now these folks have incomes that range from $20,000.00 to over $100,000.00 annually. Some are earning incomes well into five and six figures.
This book shows you how to:
Evaluate the potential of your book ideas
Avoid making costly mistakes
Learn the most effective marketing ideas
Find out better places to sell your books than traditional bookstores
Publicize your book online
Determine how many books you need to publish to earn a good living
Balance the hours you want to work against your potential income
Decide when and why to publish other authors
Sell your publishing rights for big bucks to a New York publisher
The difference between making good money as a self-publisher and just selling a few books is knowledge. Reading this book will teach you how to decide if your idea has true money-making potential, show you where and how to find your readers, as well as give you support and encouragement along the way.
If your dream is to become a financially successful and profitable self-publisher working out of your own home and setting your own hours, then order this book and start learning how to make your dreams come true.
Make Money Self-Publishing is intended to help people succeed financially while writing, publishing, and selling books. Because people learn more easily through stories rather than from dry how-to instructions, the majority of the chapters in this book focus on in-depth profiles of self-publishers who are making large enough incomes to support themselves by selling their written words.
The publishers profiled in Make Money Self-Publishing share their failures as well as their successes. They also demonstrate how a wide variety of approaches and timetables can lead to profitable publishing. Some became almost overnight successes, while others built their publishing companies over a number of years.
Many small publishers sell the rights to one or more of their books to larger publishers. They pay more for books with proven market appeal than they do for untested manuscripts.
Small presses are steadily stealing market share from the East Coast mega publishing houses. No longer do these corporate giants control what Americans read. Books that don’t interest East Coast editors are being successfully self-published across the country and are selling thousands of copies.
Here you’ll read the inspiring stories of M. J. Rose, Diane Pfeiffer, Kenn Amdahl, Angela Adair-Hoy, and many others. Discover from their honest and insightful lessons how you can cut your learning curve in half!
