About this listen

Demystifying the tangled web of self-publishing to put you on the road to success.

This is a motivational guide based on my 2.5 million published words (mostly with Amazon) to help you see past the hurdles that are keeping you from climbing the mountain of success. Nothing is overwhelming once it's been explained. If you are smart enough to write a book, you are smart enough to do everything else needed to make your indie author business a success.

This guide has something for every budding author as well as those who have already published but for whom success remains elusive. In this business, there is only one hard-and-fast rule - you must find readers willing to pay for your stories. It starts with the first sentence. You have to write a gripping story that people want to read, wrap a cover around the book, and then do the marketing. There’s no doubt that you can do it. Let me show you how.

I've Now purchased the whole series!

Very useful book, lots of great advice and words of motivation. Some of the tax section wasn't relevant to me as I'm a UK based author, but I have Joanna Penn's books that cover that, and some of the general US tax advice was still very useful. I'll be listening to this multiple times for sure.

A wonderfully useful tool!

I'm roughly 3 weeks from releasing my first fiction novel and this book has been invaluable in helping me set realistic goals and expectations. I've learned so much just from this book alone and strongly recommend any new indie author give it a read/listen.

On the latter, I listened to the audio version of this book and it was fantastic, very easy to listen to and digest all the information, the narrator delivers a crisp tone.

Exceptional value for money

One of the best books I have listened to on writing. Craig's core philosophy of get stuck in and make it happen resonates with me. The information is non stop. Lots of notes taken and lots of points for me to go away and work on. 5 stars, a solid 5 stars. Thanks Craig, from a newly inspired Robb.
