Making the leap from blogging to the world of self-publishing comes with numerous challenges to those looking to expand their brand. Where blogging is about producing free content for readers, self-publishing is dedicated to creating a dedicated product for sale. Website design and SEO are replaced with formatting to vendor specifications and getting listed on retailer websites. Rather than gaining subscribers, the goal of self-publishing takes everything to a new level – making sales.
The self-publishing process may take weeks, months, or even years to create a final product, and the sales effort is an on-going process from there. But to those who put in the effort, a polished product is a reward that will stick around for many years to come.
Topics to be presented during the Webinar include the following:
- Who Should Self-Publish?
- Formatting for Release in Print or Digital
- Print-on-Demand Services (CreateSpace and LuLu)
- Working with Distribution Companies (ClickBank and e-Junkie)
- Affiliate Programs Pros and Cons
- Getting Noticed – Reviews, Contests, and Associations
- The Cost of Self-Publishing
- Question and Answer Session
When: May 9th, 2012 7:00PM EST
