Indie Publishing 101 - Session 3 - Publishing on Amazon

I am going to combine Indie Publishing 101 Sessions 3 and 4 into one to get you the rest of the way through uploading your book to Amazon.

And then the new Session 4 on October 26th will be Craig the Idiot's Guide to Amazon Ads. I'm not great with them, but they do work for me, rather well, actually, but I don't push the boundaries. I think they can work for you, too, if you take it easy and trust Amazon with certain aspects of your ad campaigns.

Schedule - Session 3
• DRM – why you don’t use it
• Manuscript upload
• Kindle ebook Cover – jpg/tiff only
