About this listen

I show you my experiences selling 100,000 copies of my own children’s books to help you master:

- Social Media and Advertising

- Increasing Visibility

- Book Prices and Profits

- And Much More!


I left my job in 2018 because I made more money writing and self-publishing children's books (picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels) than working full time for someone else. I wanted to write books from home full time for years but was stuck in a life working for other people. Determined to change my life, I set out on a path to live the one I always imagined for my family.

I tell you my story in this book as if we were best friends standing face to face. I tell you my failures and my triumphs on the road to selling 100,000 children’s books. I tell it to you this way because I want you to succeed.

There’s no technical mumbo jumbo here – only real-life experiences that work!

Concise, to the point, with terrific anecdotes about his book publishing endeavors

For a listen just shy under two hours, it is worth its weight as an 8 hour audio book.

The virtual voice is scary good. I’ve listened to human narrators who caused Super Mario snore bubbles blow through my nostrils.

David’s experience selling books is hybrid: inspiring while educational. He explains how to sell books without making it sound like a dull to-do list. For example, his wins and losses using billboards to better promote his Fox series is carried through a narrative of noticing James Patterson using this method and how he would be a fool not to.

Get this book. I believe it’s a free add to your library if you’re an Audible subscriber. If not, then make this a reason you get an Audible account.

Real and to the point

Interesting report both of book marketing, and of the motivation of an author.

The AI voice was better than some humans!

Great detail and no fluff!

I’ve been writing a book for a year and want to self publish but was nervous on the details and this book gets right in to it and provides a clear roadmap of ideas of things that have worked. I can’t wait to apply everything I learned from this book.

Wow

It's my first review on Amazon but the book impressed me!

It was knowledgeable and touching and entertaining story, short enough to finish in one go.






Also impressive and comfortable AI voice

Good Advice

Liked the advice as a novice but leaned too heavily into the marketing, advertising and social media to generate sales.
