There is much that the course will teach you.
If you are someone who likes to fully understand the details of things then you will enjoy this course. We will be upfront and honest this course is REALISTIC and PRACTICAL. The point of the course is to teach you how to successfully build a kindle publishing business that will generate predicable income through royalties each month. This course is ABSOLUTELY not a get-rich quick scheme, and we are NOT trying to sell you dreams.
Making full-time money online will require hard work and patience.
We discuss at length, the amount of money you can expect to earn per book and per month with our recommended publishing style and also in today’s somewhat crowded marketplace. But don’t let the idea of hard work discourage you. Self-Publishing is still in it’s infancy stages so there is much room for growth and there is definitely room for you.
This is why the 2nd module in the course deals only with mindset.
To be successful in Kindle Publishing or to successfully start a business your mindset is very important. So we deal with this topic in the beginning by studying the thoughts and advice of two successful business men (Felix Dennis and Gary Vaynerchuck). Quick note: Felix Dennis made his fortunes in publishing so his advice is very pertinent to us as digital publishers.
You will learn the history of self-publishing and you will learn the best strategies for today’s crowded marketplace. It is impossible to list everything you will learn in this course as it is over 8 hours in length. But no stone is left not turned.
You will understand how to research topics for books without spending hours brainstorming, you will understand how to make robust outlines for valuable books and the book formatting process will be explained in detail. And you will follow along with the instructor to submit your work to KDP.
