‘Amazon KDP Self Publishing: A Comprehensive A-Z How To Guide’
Who is it for?
You and absolutely everyone else who aspires to write, whether you are just starting out or have a part-work gathering dust in a drawer or on a half-forgotten computer file. Whether you’re retired or retiring soon and want to fulfil a long-standing ambition to write a book, or at the beginning of your writing career and looking to set up a solid foundation.
What does it cover?
By the time you complete the course, even if you are a complete beginner, you will be in a position to self-publish a deftly-plotted, well-written book in an attractive cover for an audience of thousands of readers in your genre who have subscribed to your author newsletter. And if you are already on your author journey, you can skim through the lecture descriptions and pick and choose whatever looks useful.
Why is this course the best?
The course is comprehensive. It’s well-organized. Every lecture contains need-to-know information. It’s a step-by-step guide that will take you from your original idea to print. Each section is supported by notes: summaries, useful websites and resources.
Why will this information change or improve my life?
It will save you time. You will make mistakes on your author journey, for sure, but at least you can avoid making the mistakes I made. It will save you money. I made some costly blunders but I also made some good decisions in subscribing to particular sites.
Why should I care?
If you have a burning desire to share your stories, this course is a step-by-step blueprint to get you from A to Z. You will gain a huge sense of satisfiction in seeing your work in print. The hard work will have been worth it.
Why is now the time to learn this topic?
In my experience, and no doubt in yours, ‘Now’ is always the best time to start. You never know what’s round the corner. Start now and you will continue. Continue and you will complete.
Why are you the best teacher for this topic?
Not only am I a highly qualified teacher, but I also set up and ran a successful education company for many years. Thousands of students took the courses I wrote with very high satisfaction rates. I am also on my own author journey and have self-published several books. So with my background and experience, I am well-placed to deliver a hands-on course in a serious but engaging way.
Do you get excited about teaching the course?
Researching, writing, revising, recording and editing this course has been a labour of love. Fortunately, I love teaching. I have been a teacher all my working life. But what is most rewarding is the success of my students.
Now let me pose a question.
How many sales do you need to make in your launch week for your book to take off via word of mouth?
According to a niche London-based publisher, it’s 2000.
This course has one paramount aim. To find those 2000 sales you need in your launch week.
And here’s how
First, I will show you how to research the market before you start writing, so you write a book that readers in your genre will love. It’s a strategy called ‘Writing to Market’.
So. Step One. You now have a book that people want to read.
Secondly, I will show you how to format your book beautifully so that you can upload it to Amazon without a glitch. And I will show you how to create free or bespoke book covers that will appeal to your market.
So. Step Two. You now have a book just one click away from going live on Amazon.
3. Thirdly, I will show you how to find thousands of readers in your genre completely legitimately who will happily subscribe to your opt-in email list.
So. Step Three. When you publish your book you will already have a substantial pool of buyers, before you even start advertising.
4. And fourthly, I will show you how to create buzz across the Author Platform we’re going to build leading up to your book launch on Amazon
So. Step Four. You’re a published author and your book is selling. So what next?
Now you’ve been through the process once, it’s going to be so much easier to publish your second book.
