Do you want to publish a novel? Launch a successful author career? Build a loyal fanbase of readers? Or turn your passion for storytelling into a lucrative business?
This course will help you achieve all of those goals…and more.
The truth is, it’s easy to become a published author. But it’s a lot harder to become a successful published author.
The rise of self-publishing platforms like Amazon KDP has made it fast and painless for authors to publish their work almost instantly. But it also means the market has become flooded with self-published books, making it difficult for any one book or author to stand out.
It’s estimated that the average self-published book sells less than 250 copies in its lifetime.
And yet, there are thousands of self-published authors out there who do make money and have built prosperous careers doing what they love, some making as much as six or seven figures a year writing and publishing novels.
How do they do it?
Simple. They know the secrets to self-publishing successfully. The same secrets you will learn in this course.
