A well-edited and error-free e-book enhances your credibility and delivers a more enjoyable reading experience.

Format Your E-book for Digital Publishing:

Formatting is a crucial step in preparing your e-book for publication. Choose a suitable file format, such as EPUB or MOBI, that is compatible with e-book readers and platforms. Pay attention to formatting elements such as font styles, headings, and spacing to ensure readability across various devices.

Select the Right E-book Publishing Platform:

Numerous self-publishing platforms are available to help you bring your e-book to the market. Popular platforms include Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Smashwords, and Apple Books. Research and compare the features, royalties, and distribution reach of each platform to make an informed decision. Consider factors like ease of use, marketing tools, and audience accessibility to choose the platform that aligns with your goals.

Optimize Your E-book Metadata and Keywords:

To increase discoverability, optimize your e-book's metadata and incorporate relevant keywords. Craft a captivating book title and write a compelling book description that entices potential readers. Research keywords related to your topic and incorporate them naturally into your metadata and book description. This optimization improves your e-book's visibility in search results and increases the likelihood of attracting interested readers.

Implement Effective E-book Marketing Strategies:

Promoting your e-book is crucial for gaining visibility and attracting readers. Create an author website or blog to establish your online presence and showcase your work. Leverage social media platforms to engage with your target audience, share snippets from your e-book, and build anticipation. Seek reviews from influential book bloggers or online communities to generate buzz and credibility. Consider running promotional campaigns, offering limited-time discounts, or participating in e-book giveaways to attract new readers.

Becoming an e-book author and self-publishing your work is an exciting endeavor. By following these step-by-step guidelines, you can confidently write, self-publish, and market your e-book for success. Remember to choose a compelling topic, craft engaging content, polish your manuscript, and format it appropriately.

NEW: "Facebook: The Inside Story"

By Steven Levy

The definitive history, packed with untold stories, of one of America’s most controversial and powerful companies: Facebook

As a college sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg created a simple website to serve as a campus social network.
 
Today, Facebook is nearly unrecognizable from its first, modest iteration. In light of recent controversies surrounding election-influencing “fake news” accounts, the handling of its users’ personal data, and growing discontent with the actions of its founder and CEO—who has enormous power over what the world sees and says—never has a company been more central to the national conversation.
 
Millions of words have been written about Facebook, but no one has told the complete story, documenting its ascendancy and missteps. There is no denying the power and omnipresence of Facebook in American daily life, or the imperative of this book to document the unchecked power and shocking techniques of the company, from growing at all costs to outmaneuvering its biggest rivals to acquire WhatsApp and Instagram to developing a platform so addictive even some of its own are now beginning to realize its dangers.

Based on hundreds of interviews inside and outside the company, Levy’s sweeping narrative of incredible entrepreneurial success and failure digs deep into the whole story of the company that has changed the world and reaped the consequences.

Clearly, what we study in school, does not provide us with the tools needed to manage and master money as adults.

Our best hope is to EMPOWER our YOUTH long before they leave home and enter the “real” world.  ==>>READ MORE...
