Book 1 

Book 2 in this series - ‘The Amateur Authorpreneur’

The Amateur Authorpreneur is a beginners guide to setting up as an author who intends to develop their writing into a business, by firstly addressing the important task of book promotion and marketing. We look at the author book promotion toolkit, building a fan base on social media and much more.

Our non-author beta readers have said that they have learned things that have helped them in both their personal and professional social media interactions.

Readers who enjoy the work of indie authors are amazed at what's involved behind the scenes.

The Intermediate Authorpreneur aims to help aspiring and new authors. We will add to, develop and utilise the amateur authorpreneur toolkit that we started to create in book two. The authorpreneur tools discussed can be used to help authors launch and promote new books and help to expand and create exposure to the author platform, an essential component in book marketing and promotion in the short, medium and long term. We will also discuss book advertising opportunities, both free and paid, as we consider the planning and implementation of a 99c sale or free book promotion. In addition, to enhance the effectiveness of the authorpreneur toolkit, we will further develop our base of existing social media channels as we introduce new ones and consider book sales and marketing opportunities worldwide.
