Following on from our Sunday post about Publishing Options, the first of our 52 week Author Marketing Mastery series, one key consideration for authors is how they’re going to make a buck with the book, or make a buck while they’re working on the book.
Is self-publishing on your list? Developing a sustainable income with your words? If so, then this is pretty darned timely. Our friends at Write Life Publishing are offering up a free, live webinar with self-publishing powerhouses Steve Scott and Barrie Davenport on Monday, January 11:
Building a Business and a Sustainable Income in Self-Publishing
Navigating your self-publishing options can be challenging. But with advice from those who have been in your shoes before and built a successful business over time, you can approach your own self-publishing journey with fresh perspective and excitement.
During the webinar, Steve and Barrie will discuss:
- How to begin building your author platform
- How to adapt to changes in the self-publishing industry
- How to transform your self-publishing efforts into a business with sustainable income
- How to build and use an email list to promote your self-published work
