set the stage for financial success, understand the millionaire mindset, create
a budget, calculate your net worth, the magic of $10,000 in savings, spend

Successful Self-Publishing
To be
published by a major publisher today, you have to first create a successful
sales track record as a writer. The best way to do this is to self-publish.
This practical approach to self-publishing will teach you how to start your
home-based publishing business, understand copyright laws and contracts, find
wholesalers and distributors, the new multi-media publishing model, maximize
the Internet, increase book sales and build a fan base, choose a printer,
create powerful publicity in print/radio/TV, maximize conventions and book
signing events, find a literary agent, sell subsidiary rights such as foreign
rights/film rights/gaming rights, licensing your books, and how to economically
market your books online and offline. As an added bonus learn about a secret
publishing business—book packaging! Your instructor founded Marietta Publishing
in 1996—one of the most successful independent publishing houses in North America! Books published by Marietta
Publishing have become bestsellers, games, and a TV show. Fee includes
instructor’s book PROFITABLE PUBLISHING, How to Start a Home-Based Publishing
Business (second edition).
