Publishing your own books has never been easier, but if you want them to sell, there are a couple of things that you need to do.
One of them is formatting your book.
In this course, I'm going to start by showing you some professionally formatted books that are currently bestsellers on Amazon.
Then we're going to look at how books are structured so that your book meets the first professional standard.
Next, we're going to look at styling your book, so that you have a consistent design running through it.
Finally, we're going to create a print-quality pdf file that's ready to upload to Amazon, Lulu and IngramSpark.
And just to make sure we've covered everything, you'll also learn how to turn your ebook into a print book.
If you haven't done so already, please go here to purchase the course and gain full access to all the videos and downloads included.
