Ep 142: It's Come to This: The Christmas Clip Show Special

This podcast will take you through how to self-publish your eBook onto Amazon, Apple and the other global eBook Stores, how to market a book and general online business techniques needed to be a successful self-publisher.

I very much enjoy and learn from the Begin Self-Publishing Podcast in which Tim both generously shares from his own rich experiences of publishing in various formats and intelligently probes his guests with a set of questions to unearth other innovative ways to go about the difficult process of getting a book successfully written, published, and marketed.

Shares how you can write, publish, and successfully market a book

I appreciate Tim’s insight on not only self-publishing, but as a creative. He stretches my comfort zone and helps me to self-reflect where I am at in my career. Highly recommend this podcast!

Great Insight

Adam Croft

This episode was much more opportunistic than most.  I saw on Adam Croft's facebook profile that he was number 1 on Amazon in both the UK and US eBook stores, so I thought it would be interesting to interview an author at the "peak of their powers" to find out how he got to number 1 on Amazon.  It's an interesting journey from being a self-published author to being picked up by an Amazon imprint to getting to number 1 in the whole Amazon US store.
