Publisher's summary

Wanna learn how to publish a book that doesn't suck...and will actually make you some moolah? Interested in finding out how to turn your self-publishing efforts into reliable sources of kick-ass income?

Curious to figure out how get published, get noticed--and get paid--and eventually self-publish your way to an actual writing career? (Not just something that helps give you a car payment.)

Then, my dear writer, you have come to the right place. For I was once like you.

I was drawn to the idea of being a full-time published writer who spent his days drinking copious amounts of coffee and keeping his Jack Russell terrier from destroying the house.

But then I was laid off. And by necessity I quickly learned how to publish a book that actually brought money in--fast! (Not just one that padded my ego.)

And you know what I learned? It is totally possible to make a living with self-publishing. As long as you do it right--and approach it like a frickin' professional.

And that's why I've collected all insider strategies on what to do--and, most notably, what not to do--in this humble tome, How to Publish a Book That Doesn't Suck (and Will Actually Sell).

In this book you'll discover:

  • Six super-important questions all self-published authors have just gotta ask themselves
  • The wonderfully profitable (and slightly irrational) world of Kindle publishing
  • How audiobooks can change your life (and your bank account)
  • What the hell is a Smashwords, and why should you really care?
  • Eight keys to seeing your words in print
  • How to become a best-selling author in Slovakia (and other tales from international rights sales
  • Three superninja, punk-rock ways to sell your book
  • And so much more!

Right to the point.

Everything in it is valuable, eye-opening, and a little costly in some areas. The author just tells it like it is and there are always ways around what a person can or cannot afford. Fast, enjoyable read worth absorbing and retaining. Great narration.

Website links go to porn

I really liked this book - BUT - the website that he constantly refers people to goes to a Chinese porn site. (www.selfpubnation.com)

Hopefully he fixes this by either unhacking his site or redoing the audio in his books to a new address.

Great info otherwise!!
