Description

At the end of 2013, the crew behind the top-rated Self Publishing Podcast released their book
Write. Publish. Repeat.

WPR
went on to become a #1 bestseller, hailed as an addition to the "must have" book list for writers.
This 30-part video series, in which the three authors (Johnny, Sean, and Dave) expound on all of
WPR's
key pointsa year later, is the next step for forward-thinking, smart indie publishers.



Write. Publish. Repeat. Conversations
is the video companion to
Write. Publish. Repeat.
We not only go into more depth on the book's content as it applies to our day-to-day business, but the series also updates the book with all we've learned after another year publishing at Sterling & Stone, our cutting-edge company that runs six imprints across the publishing spectrum.

Students of this course will learn how to take take their art and make a viable business from it. The e-book age is a golden time for writers ... and
Write. Publish. Repeat.
shows you how to take advantage of it, and profit from your creativity.
Who this course is for:
This is for writers who are willing to work hard to produce and sell quality books
This is for writers willing to think of writing as a business as well as an art
This is for writers who love to write, rather than those who see writing as some sort of a way to get rich quickly
This is NOT for anyone seeking a "get rich quick" scheme or anyone who believes an "ebook gold rush" mentality
This is NOT for hobbyists (who don't really care about selling their work) or pure artists who feel that "adding business to art" somehow sullies it (HINT: it most certainly does not)
This is NOT for lazy people, people who complain, or people who make excuses. Basically, it's not for any writer unwilling to take responsibility for her own success

What you'll learn

Make a living writing (HINT: it's about hard work and math, not luck!)

Avoid getting lumped in with the "self publishing ghetto" by taking a few small steps to look like a professional

Create a viable income-producing business out of what most struggling writers erroneously see as "just art"

Produce great books (fiction or nonfiction) -- from pre-production planning to publishing like a pro

Learn which sales and promotion techniques and strategies work for full-time successful authors

Find out why some authors succeed while others fail

Discover what's changed in indie publishing, and how you can benefit

Learn how to write fast, produce a lot of books, and give yourself a bigger "footprint" for readers to find you

Understand how email marketing, blogging, social media, podcasting, and other promotional avenues can easily fit into any smart artist's strategies

Know how to set up your website and grow your email list (creating a repository of people eager to buy your next book)

Find out how to get more reviews (and deal with the good and the bad ones)

Get the Cliffs Notes on what the authors of the #1 bestseller "Write. Publish. Repeat." have learned in the trenches, running their six-imprint publishing business since the book was originally released (UPDATES AND LATEST INFO!)
