Publisher's summary

Are you tired of "how to publish books" that are full of fluff and no real information? I was, too.

Before I began my publishing career with Kindle books, I read just about everything out there, looking for real answers to questions I had about the industry. But much to my disappointment, most of the books were filled with fluff or stories of people who "hit it big" without really telling me how or why.

I determined to jump in and learn for myself - and that's exactly what I did. I started with my first book, How to Work from Home and Make Money, and then quickly published three more. I was looking for the topic of my fifth book when it hit me - why not share what I've learned with the people who still haven't made the leap and published their own book?

It all began when I received an email from a book promotion site. One of the features was a how to book about publishing Kindle books, so out of curiosity, I followed the link and read the reviews. And sure enough, the page was full of people complaining that the book didn't contain any valuable information.

So here's what I decided to do. Write a book that answers all of the real questions without painting an unrealistic view of the possibilities.

Solid advice , no fluff!

If you are seriously considering self-publishing, then this is the book for you. Direct, clear and easy to follow advice with out all the fluff and empty promises. A must read for first-time aspiring authors.

Astonishing

This is the best book I have read in so long and I have read many books. I generally don't write a review but this one changed everything for me. I didn't finish with tons of questions like books with the same category. I feel like I was fed and I feel beyond satisfied, I feel full.

I was skeptical but Sam is the real McCoy!

Five stars across the board. This is not a book of opinions, but a well-thought out and researched instruction manual. I liked the evidence offered as supporting "documentation." Best ebook I have read. This is a full length book, not some 50 page wannabe. I also purchased the audio version, which I highly recommend. Written for all levels of experience.

Good intro book!

Flowed well! Appreciated all the resources that were vetted. One thing you worry about as an author is if the resources are worth it/scammy. So it’s nice that this author tells you what they used and what they haven’t but heard good thing about. Would only recommend for the audible folks to have just 1 link they can go to that captures all of the links. Great book!

True about writing a ing for a living

Sam Kearns follows through with all of his promises, in guiding you step by step. I’ve been waiting a long time for this type of book..
I too am a serial entrepreneur who loves riding. Now that I am in my 70s I would like to slow down enough to life continuously because it’s something I enjoy that but I’m driven always to earn profit on almost everything I do. I think this guide Will be perfect for me to follow. Thank you for the information.
