Step to take when Self-Publishing

Building Your Book for Kindle (download for free)

There are many authors that are willing to help out when giving advice about self-publishing

One of the authors that I came across is Theresa Ragan who writes writes medieval time travels, contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and thrillers under the name T.R. Ragan.

Her blog has a wonderful article titled "Steps to Self-Publishing" which she talks about and explains how to get into self-publishing.  The only thing is that it needs to be updated as PUBIT for Barnes and Noble is now called Nookpress for self-publishing. 

The author talks about how self-publishing has been life changing for her and how she took 3 months learning as much as she could before publishing a book.  

There is a lot of great and FREE advice out there for writers thinking about taking the next step.

Another great blog to read is Notjohns KDP Guide with great advice and tips for writers especially those looking to publish on Amazon.
Also be sure to check out Grammarly's Free Grammar Checker. Correct all grammar errors and check for plagiarism - instant and free!

If you have written a Kindle book or may want to write a Kindle book you need to know how to sell it and make some money.  

You don't need an agent or a publisher to make your new book a success. You can use the power of the crowd to pre-fund your book and create your own virtual signing bonus. That's what I did. I raised over $35k in 30-days for my new book series. Want to know how to do it? That's what this book is all about.

I know what struggles you have as an aspiring author. One of the biggest ones is book marketing, and selling books. I've written this book to help give you an easy way to solve those problems. In this book I take you step-by-step through how I did it myself, and show you how you can do it as well.

Who is this book for?

* Anyone who has ever thought of writing a book or had the idea for a book, on any topic, in any niche

* Anyone who doesn't want to deal with the agents and big publishers and wants to have control to do it themselves

* Anyone who wants to make money selling books before they even put pen to paper

You know there's a better way to publish books. This is it. Take this simple, easy-to-follow strategy and make it a reality.

What's in the book?

* Step-by-step instructions on how to create your own crowdfunding or "pre-funding" campaign

* Including details on how to set up your funding campaign and landing page
