Description
In early 2020, I Self-Published my first book onto IngramSpark. Little did I know the incredible impact the platform would provide to host, sell and distribute my books across more than 80 countries. I could see the potential but wasn’t prepared for the reach it would provide my books. Fast Forward 2 years, I have sold over 14,000 books with revenue exceeding $100,000. The benefit of using IngramSpark is that they take care of all the printing, distribution and postage, and I receive a great passive income stream each month.Self-Publishing isn’t reserved for a select group of authors. I started my career as a school teacher but had always dreamed of becoming an author and starting and running my own business. It took me several years to figure out precisely what it was, but now I couldn’t be happier working online from any location I choose and doing something I am passionate about. The positive impact you can have by creating children’s books, novels, fiction and non-fiction books or even business and education resources is a great way to be inspired each day you publish.So why is IngramSpark such a great business model?Firstly, IngramSpark provides the platform that will help you connect with over 40,000 distribution channels globally, including online book retailers (we’re talking Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, Target, Bookdepository etc.), libraries, schools and traditional brick and mortar stores.IngramSpark does all the heavy lifting, including Printing and Distribution. As the author and creator, you receive a royalty payment for your book creation, or, as I like to call it, your digital asset. As a result, you no longer have books pre-printed and sitting in storage, hoping they will eventually sell. With IngramSpark Print on Demand (POD), your book is only printed and distributed when a customer orders via one of the distribution channels.Is IngramSpark right for me?Suppose you would like the opportunity to write and publish a book, become recognised as an author and leader in your industry or even create your own business using one of the world’s largest distributors. Perhaps you would prefer to have complete control over the design and creation without the hassles of taking email and phone orders, managing customer enquiries, and like the idea of a long-term passive income? In that case, IngramSpark is perfect for you!Why Choose This Course?Having created and self-published over 350 books, including Best Selling Books in the US, UK and Canada, I have a considerable amount of experience, skills and knowledge to share. Having also come from an education background in teaching for over 10 years, I can break down the steps into simple and easy steps that you can learn without prior experience. If you want to see first-hand how this course can help, please view the promotional video of the course and watch one of the lessons I have made available for ‘free preview’.In this course, you will learn all the essential and valuable steps to start your journey as a self-publisher using IngramSpark.How much time p/week does Self-Publisher take?As much time as you wish to invest! I started writing and creating my books when I had a full-time, 9-5 job and did a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon. That’s the beauty of Self-Publishing. You can work whenever and wherever you like.I have been able to turn my publishing business into a global brand in less than 2 years, and with online shopping increasing at such a rapid rate, there is no better time than NOW to start your Self-Publishing journey to create a long-term passive income. If that resonates with you, take a look inside the course to see what it offers.
