Self-Publishing: Scams, Lies, and BULLSH*T - How NOT to Promote and Market Your Ebook
This humorous, yet highly informative booklet explores the darker side of self-publishing - revealing the many follies and pitfalls; the endless swindles and bamboozles which lurk in the shadowy, slimeball encrusted corners...
It is tailor-made for anyone fitting the following descriptions:
-Beginning authors trying to get a foot in the door (building your platform)
-Writers who have been bilked out of hundreds of dollars (perhaps more!) on faulty marketing or advertising scams
-Anyone interested in taking the self-publishing or self-marketing route
-Those who wish to understand the common run of the mill schemes which endlessly plague the rapidly expanding marketplace
-People wise enough to realize a little knowledge goes a long way
This is not a book which states "Follow my ten simple steps and you too can become a best-selling author!"
I am not here to make idle promises, tug at your heart-strings, or pander to your desires - no, no, far from it in fact. For I too grew tired of the deceitful programs, the misleading systems, the fake and fruitless guides that are all too prevalent in this booming industry. I do not whisper sweet nothings in your ear or guarantee success if you purchase my products...I am here to expose the widespread time sinks many, if not all, beginning writers fall victim to. Spare yourself the frustration of countless failed attempts, only to end up clutching handfuls of hair which you have unknowingly ripped from your own head! And that, fair reader, is a hard look to pull off.
With this book, I hope you will utilize the age old maxim of "Learn from the mistakes of others - you don't have time to make them all on your own."
Now come with me and let us take a look inside this depraved activity we call promotion...
