The best way to build a profitable book publishing business is to start writing on part-time basis. Keep the security of your regular full-time job to ensure a steady flow of income while you write. That will ensure your peace of mind along the way. Only when your monthly writing profits match your regular monthly income should you transition to full-time writing. How long this process takes will depend a lot on you. For one writer, the transition took a year; for another, it took five years. In this book, we’ll talk about exactly how they, and many others, did it. More importantly, we’ll discuss how you can accomplish the same.
YOU’RE IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT
Gone are the days when the world’s large corporate book publishers set the pace and direction of the entire publishing market. Today, independent authors are now in the driver’s seat. The tools are already at your fingertips, and online publishing is the easiest and most affordable way to begin. (And when I say “affordable,” I mean almost completely free of charge. Now that’s affordable!)
Your only necessary cost will be editing, which will be covered in detail in this book. The fact is, if you want your ebook to be accepted by a discerning population of readers, you’ll need to hire a proper editor to help you get things right. I’ll show you exactly where and how to find one at a price that suits your budget. In fact, the whole process from start to finish—from outlining a full ebook series to publishing it online—will be covered in this book. By the time you’re done reading this, you’ll know exactly how to publish a book. You’ll know what it takes to successfully sell it, too.
YOUR SIX-WEEK BLUEPRINT TO SUCCESS
This book contains a repeatable, entirely achievable six-week publishing process—a blueprint you can easily follow no matter what type of book series you wish to publish on the United States of America’s Amazon, Canada’s Kobo, and even Malaysia’s E-Sentral ecommerce sites. It also contains case studies of several highly successful independent authors who are already doing these things and earning massive incomes from it. Read this blueprint in full before you publish. Educate yourself about how this process works before you do anything else. Then make a commitment to yourself to follow through with it. Because it works!
If you are looking at this review you are probably just like me. You have this book burning a hole in your mind which you just need to get out. Not only that, but you really want to do it in such a way that you can earn significant (or maybe even just a little) income from your work. Download the book and begin to learn how you, too, can become a published author and make some money along the way.
Does this book answer all the questions with regards to self (ebook) publishing? No. How could it in an industry that seems to be changing from moment to moment. Probably before the author had finished her final draft, new innovations were already presenting themselves. It doesn’t slow down for anyone.
What we do have here is a clear road map which will help any of us chart our path forward through the maze of creating a significant income through writing. Now, that is something to write home about!
Staflund, has pulled together years of research and practice into a highly readable book from which all of us who are interested in writing can learn. Profitable Publishing Today is a compendium of blogs and other writing which Staflund has used over the years to educate her audience. Now she has done the indie and self-publishing world a tremendous service by including it all in one significant tome which we can use to move forward.
Is the book perfect, no. But it has given me key bits of information which I can use to move forward in my dream of selling my books and actually making money doing so. Maybe it will help you as well. You won’t know until you pick up the book and begin reading.
A good overview of how to get started as an indie author..
I would have like more detailed direction on how to implement the system outlined in this book. The examples of successful authors were inspiring but a stretch for someone just starting out. Overall an interesting and informative read but not a clear, specifics roadmap for authors entering the field.
