Marketing for Authors

How I Went From ZERO Readers to Bestselling Author in a Year

How I Went From Zero Readers to
Bestselling Author In Less Than a Year


Feel like you’re not cut out for promoting your books?

Have no idea how to begin? Need to find more readers besides your Mom?

No worries.

Back in 2013, I was right where you are. I had 0 book sales and 0 readers. Unsure where to go, what to do.

I tried every option out there. Book tours, publicists, and social media for starters, followed by networking at conferences and using book promo sites. During my self-publishing journey, I learned what worked and what didn’t.


Now I’m sharing those things with you.

In this 7-module course, I review everything from social media to newsletters to getting more reviews. You also get 2 freebie bonuses, which are an extensive listing of Facebook Groups for Authors and Books, and another comprehensive listing of book promotion sites (both free and paid options). How cool is that?

“This is a very readable, well-organized course which gives self-publishing writers an enormous amount of help in increasing their readership.” — Author Richard Hernaman Allen
