"I've always wanted to write a book!"
Oh, good grief, if I had a nickel for everytime I've heard that, I'd be writing this blog from my private cabana, under a palm tree, on my own private island, drinking a pina colada that was just served to me by my cabana boy.... but I digress...
My name is Joni Pypers and my business partner, Denise Hamilton (who is also my Mom by the way!), and I, will be posting to this blog. Sometimes together, sometimes separately, as often as we can, to help you make money by self publishing your own book. Here's a photo of us, with our two other partners (L-R: Debbie Black, Denise Hamilton, Joni Pypers, Linda Matthie):
Self Publishing: this is my business, and has been for the last 9 years - helping wannabe authors get their books published and sold. Is it easy? No. Are many successful? No. Why not? Because they don't listen to me. Well, maybe a few other reasons too, but I wish they would come for help earlier in the process.
So, what happens if you jump in, follow your dream, and publish a book without doing your homework? You end up with a garage full of books -- and believe me, that really happens. It's no joke. Right now, there are thousands of authors out there with a garage filled to the rafters with published books. THEN they come to me for help! Guess what I say? Where have you been?? You should have called me months ago!!
Enter - THE BLOG. I'm hoping to catch some of you before you publish your books. For those of you who already have, I'm going to give you some good tips and tricks for selling your book. Let's clear out that garage!
This blog is going to consist of everything I can come up with to help you succeed in self publishing. Tips, tricks, articles, success stories, interviews... whatever. In my day-to-day business running my self publishing and book marketing site, I come across little tidbits all the time and I'm here to share them with you.
See you soon!
In the meantime, check out my main site: http://www.inktreemarketing.com/. There are piles of articles and resources there to help you.
