Sales of ebooks have surpassed printed books. Previously unknown authors have become millionaires selling ebooks without publishers only to later land huge traditional publishing deals. Other best-selling traditionally published authors have struck out on their own as indie ebook authors. And aspiring authors who couldn’t land a traditional publishing deal have found success in the world of digital publishing.
You, too, can become an ebook author. During this 4-hour workshop you will:

Discover the seven secrets of ebook publishing success—the proven best practices of most successful authors

Find out what really makes an ebook sell—how readers discover books, what categories or lengths sell best, pricing data, how retailer sales rank is computed and measured and how it impacts sales

This is the first time Mark has offered all this information in one full-day workshop! If you’ve been dreaming of writing, producing and selling an ebook and getting in on the ebook craze, you won’t want to miss the chance to learn from him!
