Write with Passion... Sell with Power! Easily Create, Self-Publish, and Market Your Own 'How To´Book
Once upon a time, there were only two ways to become a published book author: convince a ‘traditional’ publisher (directly or through an agent) to publish your book—which could happen to only a few of the many people who had written books—or pay thousands of dollars to get it printed by a ‘vanity’ publisher. Now, thanks to print-on-demand, E books, and self-publishing platforms such as Amazon, anyone can publish a book.
Write with Passion… Sell with Power provides a shortcut to mastering all the steps of writing and self-publishing a how-to book, one of the most popular genres of non-fiction. Whether you want to write and publish an Ebook to boost your professional reputation and exposure, to create a low-cost, home-based business and a passive income stream that can take you through retirement, or to share your knowledge and passion for a particular subject, Write with Passion can help you get from idea to successful book.
Today, even authors who have had their books accepted by traditional publishers are realizing they can earn more through self-publishing. In the prologue to Write with Passion… Sell with Power, one such best selling author, Frank M. Ahearn, says, “I don’t see why anyone would go the traditional route of publishing via a publisher.”
However, the chance at greater profit brings with it greater responsibility and headaches, because when you self-publish you have to accomplish (or pay for) the tasks handled by traditional publishers, such as editing, formatting, and proofreading; cover and page design; and the big one, marketing.
