Others will charge hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, to teach or help you with this information. I keep it budget friendly so you have the money you need to invest in editing, good cover design and formatting, and the marketing costs.
Self-publishing no longer means uploading a file to KDP and calling it a day. You can make your book stand out by following industry standards for publishing, and that’s what we’ll cover in this workshop.
In this 4-hour bootcamp with Alexa Bigwarfe, you will learn:
- All the key elements you need to know and understand about self-publishing: what do you need and where do you get it?
- Understanding Metadata – including keywords and categories, ISBNs, pricing, and more
- Imprint – what it is, why you’d want one, how to set it up
- When to copyright and why
- Difference between putting a book on pre-order vs. scheduling for publication
- Pre-order strategies
- Amazon Author Central – what it is, why you need it
- How to load your book to KDP – what do you need and what do the fields mean?
- Step by step instructions for IngramSpark! How to navigate & load a book to IngramSpark – they have some really different fields that you MUST understand! (particularly how to put your book on pre-order & discount rates)
- Why we use both KDP and IngramSpark – it doesn’t have to be one or the other + other companies to consider for distribution – PublishDrive, Lulu, Bublish, etc.
- Basic marketing information that will impact your publishing decisions
- and More!
You will also receive Step by Step tutorials on loading your book to KDP and to IngramSpark, newly updated with changes to both platforms.
This bootcamp will include plenty of time for Q&A, personal feedback, and support.
If you’ve already published, this will be a good refresher course that can show you the changes that have occurred across the major platforms.
By the end of this workshop, you will be equipped to publish your book like a pro, and ensure that your book stands out from all the other self-published books on the market today.
