Ted Summerfield's Blog

Although the cover indicates there is nothing worthwhile inside this ebook there are some readers who will purchase this ebook and feel it is the best darn money they ever spent. I know I will.

What’s inside the book? 23 pages of “Nothing Here But My Thanks”, and now and then an image of a kiss or something similar, images of an animal or animals, some pithy words under the pictures, and some other stuff about marketing, promotion, relationships, etc.

I think the words under the pictures are pithy but you may think otherwise.

To be completely honest, for it is your money and not mine, (well, not mine until you buy this ebook and then a smidgeon of your money becomes mine, but that is beside the point) inside are pictures of dogs and other animals, which every advertiser will tell you is necessary for bonding the viewer to your product or service.

So let’s bond. You buy, I’ll accept your offer to bond and throw in some animal pictures plus some words you’ve probably never before seen beneath a picture.

Tell your friends and family to buy this ebook right now because when I become a millionaire from earning just pennies from each sale of this ebook I’m going to stop publishing it.

Why is that such a great benefit to you and your friends?

When I stop publishing this ebook it will instantly become a collectors item, a golden goose for you and your friends to hand down from generation to generation. So don’t wait, start protecting the future happiness of your great grandchildren right now and buy this ebook.

This free ebook describes what mistakes to avoid when first starting out as a self-publisher of ebooks and which steps to take to increase your likelihood for success.

Inside are important do’s and don’ts on marketing ebooks, pricing ebooks, and using social networks. It also provides valuable sales and genre data, and demonstrates how using the personal knowledge and experiences described in this ebook will improve your foray into the world of self-publishing.

"The Backward Approach to Ebook Success" is my personal experiences in the ebook business, both good and bad, and shows new authors what to avoid and what to strive for.

A survey of 1,007 self-published writers – one of the most comprehensive insights into the growing market to date (Dave Cornford and Steven Lewis carried out the survey) – found that while a small percentage of authors were bringing in sums of $100,000-plus in 2011, average earnings were just $10,000 a year. This amount, however, is significantly skewed by the top earners, with less than 10% of self-publishing authors earning about 75% of the reported revenue and half of writers earning less than $500.
