Publisher's summary

Becoming a massively successful self-published author isn't easy. Even just one missing link in an otherwise perfect plan can kill your results.

The easiest way to avoid these mistakes is to learn from those who have made the mistakes for you and found a way to overcome them and can take you by the hand to show you the principles you need to follow to guarantee long-term success.

This is not strictly a book on marketing strategies or how to write a better book or a technical guide to self-publishing. Instead,this book gives you what you really need to succeed - the real-world principles all successful authors follow.

Useful and practical

As an author and publisher, I found the book title quite intriguing. The book repeats a lot of what I have been reading but it also has some golden nuggets and useful resources. I found the mindset on success particularly helpful as well as the section on collaborating with other authors or influencers.

Contains a lot of inspiring ideas not found another publishing books. More motivational book that the how to book, which is exactly what many authors need.
