How I Sold 30,000 Ebooks on Amazon's Kindle: An Easy-to-Follow Self-Publishing Guidebook, 2015 Edition

In the third edition of self-publishing expert Crosbie's guidebook, the author provides additional information and stories to help readers navigate the ever-changing publishing world. Crosbie tells his own story up front. He had always wanted to be a writer but instead ended up a sales trainer and manager for an RV dealership. Wanting a change, he wrote a novel, My Temporary Life, that was subsequently rejected 130 times by traditional publishing houses before he self-published, becoming a bestselling author on Amazon in 2012. He's since enjoyed further success with other novels and this guidebook. In it, he lists the steps involved in publishing and marketing an e-book, provides multiple helpful tips, and shares his own experiences and those of other self-published authors. He covers topics such as marketing via social media, selecting a cover, and navigating Amazon's resources. Crosbie's conversational tone, humor, and humility make the guide accessible. He ends each chapter with a summary list of relevant steps and, after the initial chapter, follow-up and encouraging notes on the previous chapter's action items. For anyone looking to self-publish, this guide is pertinent, comprehensive, and motivating. (BookLife)
