Landing a publisher has never been
harder…
And even when you do, count on anemic royalty
rates, 18 to 24 months to publication, and giving up the rights to your
book. And you’ll still be expected to do most of the marketing yourself!
There’s a better way. Thanks to the Internet,
self-publishing has become easier, more viable, and more potentially
lucrative than ever before.
In The
Well-Fed Self-Publisher, you’ll follow the author’s firsthand
experience as you learn how to:
• Develop a
“marketing mindset” – minus the anxiety!
• Create a book that turns heads and grabs eyeballs
• Find tons of reviewers anxious to publicize your book
• Get the bookstore chains to come looking for you
• Build a cash-generating web site that works 24/7
• Minimize your dependence on fickle mainstream media
• Parlay one book into multiple income streams
• Separate the “Print-on-Demand” hype from reality
Most importantly, you’ll learn a
radical new approach to book promotion, one that keeps you in control.
The result: less anxiety, higher profits, and more fun!

The Publishing Game series
“GREAT book. This guide tells it like it is. I’ve read plenty of
self-publishing books, and figured I’d pretty much seen it all, but I
kept coming across ideas that leaped out at me, and kept saying, ‘I’ve
got to try that!’ It gives the serious self-publisher all the
information needed to turn a dream into a success, but makes it clear
that this is no business for the dilettante!”
