'READY TO EARN A LIVING FROM YOUR STORIES?'
If you're anything like me, you're here because you're just finishing your first novel and you want to know how to sell it. Or you've got one or two books published but your sales are too low.
Not long ago, I was in exactly the same situation. I couldn't find readers. I couldn't get reviews. I ran free promotions, but I had no way of contacting the readers who'd downloaded the book. In the end, I realised that marketing was key: I would have to get involved in the marketing of the book myself.
My first efforts were hit and miss: I spent hundreds of dollars on marketing that didn't work. So, I read books and blog posts and listened to podcasts. I tried and failed and tried again, and bit by bit I began to see results. I did more of the stuff that worked - and junked the stuff that didn't.
Eventually, I pieced together a system that has led to some pretty amazing results. In fact, it's been life-changing. I've sold more than 4 millions books to date and now live my dream life as a full-time author. The system that got me to that place has now been distilled into Self Publishing Launchpad, my masterclass for indie authors who are serious about their writing and the business side of self-publishing. It's a straightforward and easy-to-follow guide that will take all the guesswork out of getting started with your career as an indie author.

What some of our students (and bestselling authors) have to say about the course:
Maria Luiz
Romance
Launchpad has given me pretty much my entire career. It's given me my foundation. It's given me the tools I need to succeed. For me the course has been a constant helping hand. I applied every single thing that I learned and less than six months later I had tripled my salary that I made in my old job.
JM Dalgliesh
Thrillers
You cannot over-emphasise how positive Launchpad has been for me; it was an eye-opening experience. The barrier to self-publishing just disappeared overnight. After publishing my first book, I turned over $100,000 in nine months.
Imogen Clark
Literary fiction
With this course I was learning how to do all the things I knew I should be doing but couldn't do. Within six weeks of finishing my book, Amazon contacted me to offer me a 3-book deal which was a dream come true. I made that happen because of the Self Publishing Launchpad course.
