How I Sold 100,000 Children's Books (and left my job to write full time)

Self-Publishing on Amazon, IngramSpark, and Audible

De: David Blaze

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

I show you my experiences selling 100,000 copies of my own children’s books to help you master:

- Social Media and Advertising

- Increasing Visibility

- Book Prices and Profits

- And Much More!

I left my job in 2018 because I made more money writing and self-publishing children's books (picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels) than working full time for someone else. I wanted to write books from home full time for years but was stuck in a life working for other people. Determined to change my life, I set out on a path to live the one I always imagined for my family.

I tell you my story in this book as if we were best friends standing face to face. I tell you my failures and my triumphs on the road to selling 100,000 children’s books. I tell it to you this way because I want you to succeed.

There’s no technical mumbo jumbo here – only real-life experiences that work!

Concise, to the point, with terrific anecdotes about his book publishing endeavors

For a listen just shy under two hours, it is worth its weight as an 8 hour audio book.

The virtual voice is scary good. I’ve listened to human narrators who caused Super Mario snore bubbles blow through my nostrils.

David’s experience selling books is hybrid: inspiring while educational. He explains how to sell books without making it sound like a dull to-do list. For example, his wins and losses using billboards to better promote his Fox series is carried through a narrative of noticing James Patterson using this method and how he would be a fool not to.

Get this book. I believe it’s a free add to your library if you’re an Audible subscriber. If not, then make this a reason you get an Audible account.

I like it

I like this book. No simple answers. Scrappy. A whole lot of "I tried this; tried that. This worked. This didn't. Kept trying."

Real and to the point

Interesting report both of book marketing, and of the motivation of an author.

The AI voice was better than some humans!

Helpful and Inspiring

David Blaze gives some very good advice and his story inspirational. I took a lot of notes. Well done.

Very informative

Encouraging, informative and straight to the point. Enjoyed learning about this process. Thank you for writing!

reaaly decent

Learnt quite a lot....inspiring story of his publishing journey. I like the realism and how honest he was about parts of his process

Great detail and no fluff!

I’ve been writing a book for a year and want to self publish but was nervous on the details and this book gets right in to it and provides a clear roadmap of ideas of things that have worked. I can’t wait to apply everything I learned from this book.

Info!

I enjoy a good, “How To” book. There was a story wrapped in advice. Virtual did not sound like a computer voice.

No fluff!

Lots of good information, no fluff, no useless info, just a down to earth guy explaining what he does, what works and what doesn’t.

Great Tips For Indie Authors

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It has a lot of insights on strategizing to get the most out of your self published books. This book is definitely helpful if you are or is deciding to become a self published author. It was definitely worth it.
