    Writing an e-book

    QUESTION 
    Recently I started writing an e-book on the topic of self-improvement. More specifically, it is more about young men in this weak, modern-day society and how to improve themselves in it.

    Self Publishing: Resources, Ideas, Feedback

    IDEA 
    I've been thinking about this for a while since my last book was self published and admittedly did not do as well as I had expected. As a newbie author, I thought all I had to do was slap a cover on my document and upload it to Amazon. I know better now, but still in the dark with the whole...

    Should I sell my eBook on Amazon or on my Blog?

    Hi everyone. I've seen many people sell their eBooks on their own blog, and it seems to be the most profitable way. However, it clearly depends on how much traffic the blog receives overall. And here's my problem. I recently finished writing an eBook, but I'm unsure whether I should sell it on...

    Is a graphic novel / self-publishing fastlane?

    I’ve been struggling with this since i started internalizing the concepts presented in MDF. Simply put, I’m an artist and I’ve been “working” on a graphic novel for the last year and a half. Most of that time was spent fantasizing about how awesome it’s going to be instead of putting it out...
