I want to help you with self-publishing your first book.

Look, self-publishing feels very overwhelming and complicated. But the truth is it is easier than ever to become a self-published author. In fact, since 2019, I have self-published four books, three of which have become #1 Bestsellers on Amazon.

Today, I have nine steps I want to share with you to help you become a self-published author. But, before we jump into those steps, there are three things I want to share with you about self-publishing.

1. A lot of people want to publish a book. But they don't do it. According to polls, 80% of people want to write and publish a book. If you are a writer, there is an even higher likelihood of publishing a book.
2. Many people believe self-publishing books aren't as good as traditionally published books. This is only true if you don't take the care to make your book great. This means editing, cover design, formatting, and having good content. Don't be cheap anywhere in your book.
3. Self-published books are crowding the book market. That might be so, but you can still sell thousands of books if you create a good book and learn how to promote your book.
