Warning:
There are dozens of hidden pitfalls
the "self-publishing companies"
don't want you to know!

Discover the 53 biggest mistakes self-publishing authors make that can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollarsand that earn "self-publishing companies"
a fat profit every year
.

Protect your costly investment in your book!

Dear Author or Aspiring Author:

Are you confused by your self-publishing options? I bet you are. With the biggest publishing revolution in history upon us, there are more ways to pursue self-publishing than ever before — which means there are also more ways to get ripped off than ever before.

But worst of all, there are "self-publishing companies" out there right now that are literally banking on your confusion. They will play on your dreams of becoming a published author, offer what seems to be a viable plan to do so, and suck you into a profitable program — one that's profitable only for them.

Now to be fair, there are publishers out there that aren't trying to rip you off, but that doesn't mean their programs aren't full of pitfalls you need to be aware of and avoid. A simple mistake on your part, due to your lack of awareness, can still cost you the same hundreds or thousands of dollars that a rip-off can. And the pain in your bank account (and perhaps pride) will feel just as bad.

And many of these same mistakes can happen even if you are truly self-publishing.

All across America, authors are going the self-publishing route… and for good reason. It is a perfectly valid way to get your book out. But it also has led to costly setbacks and even disaster for countless authors. Instead of the fame and fortune they dreamed of, they're facing:

  • stacks of books sitting in storage
  • embarrassment, when friends, family, and colleagues ask, "How's your book doing?"
  • disappointment and discouragement, as they realize their dreams aren't becoming reality
  • financial problems, because they put their book project on their credit card or equity line

Get this: The typical self-published book sells fewer than 50 copies, and yet the average author spends over a thousand dollars to achieve this. The math just doesn't add up.

Don't let this happen to your book!

Just a little time with an expert can make all the difference.

Andrew Chapman college GPA expertMy name is Andrew Chapman, and I'm here to warn you about the 53 biggest mistakes in self-publishing — making these hard-learned lessons available for the first time in e-book format.

I've worked in most every aspect of publishing for over 20 years, and I've taught thousands of clients and seminar students throughout the country how to pursue their publishing dreams. Not only that, for the past seven years I've been the president of one of the largest regional publishing associations in the country, with hundreds of author-publisher members.

In short, I know firsthand what mistakes authors make and how to avoid them. (And of course, I've made many myself.)

If you're willing to invest less than 1% of what you can easily spend to self-publish, you will avoid simple but expensive errors that have cost authors millions of dollars.

One author who contacted me recently (after he'd made a simple mistake or two)
is trying to fight publishing fees that have racked up to over $20,000!

This unique book is the perfect gift — to yourself. You will learn exactly what you need to know to succeed as I take you through my 53 critical components of self-publishing success.

There are many books out there on self-publishing that tell you what to do, but mine is the only one that tells you what NOT to do.

You will learn what 99% of the authors out there don't know.

If you want to master the self-publishing system, you absolutely MUST avoid:

  • The vanity publishers lurking out there under a new identity
  • This one blatant mistake that will be clearly visible on your book's cover
  • Tricky fees some "self-publishing companies" will charge you
  • Printing too many copies of your book
  • Setting the wrong price for your book
  • And much more

In only 134 pages, you will get my 53 self-publishing tips, insights, and secrets that will set you apart from the ever-growing crowd of aspiring authors. (Over a half a million new titles are published each year!) With all of this competition, having a great book is more important than ever for you to have a decent shot at success.

My unique e-book will take you through the biggest "pitfalls" I've seen — the key mistakes too many self-publishing authors just like you are making every day.

And I'll say it again — there are many books out there that tell you what to do in self-publishing, but mine is the only one that warns you what NOT to do.

After you've read my e-book, you will be in the top 1% of self-publishing authors who know their stuff. It would take you years to learn this information, not to mention the expense. Just as important, you’ll have the confidence and motivation you need to succeed in your goals — and keep it up!

Protect your investment in your book!

Do I need to tell you how expensive self-publishing can be? Probably not. Whether you're funding this experience through loans, savings, credit cards, or out of your own pocket, it can one of the biggest expenses you'll incur. In fact, if you aren't careful, you can spend the same as buying a business franchise.

Although no one would invest in a business franchise blindly, unfortunately, the vast majority of authors enter self-publishing blind to what it will take to succeed. My e-book will take off your blinders — and it'll be just like I'm sitting right there next to you, giving you the advice you need.

Having taught over 300 seminars throughout the U.S. and four other countries, I can tell you that education makes all the difference.

This will be the best money you'll ever invest
in your education as an author.

"Okay, I get that I need this e-book," you say, "but what does it cost?"

I've been told I'm selling my e-book for too little, especially considering the bonuses. And no doubt it is worth much more. But my goal is to get my warnings out to as many self-publishing authors as possible, so I'm making this critical information available via instant download for only $39.95.

There's one warning I've included that, if you don't know it, will suck $50 right out of your pocket. Gone. Yet another pitfall I reveal to you would've had you writing a check for $395, wasted money you'd never see again. Oh, and then there's the one that will make you look like a fool to the whole publishing world if you don't know better. Can't put a price tag on that one. In fact, now that I think about it, my e-book is less than a third of the price of a single ISBN!

$39.95 My e-book's warnings alone are well worth this price. But you'll get much more in this package, bonuses that make the total value over $100.

The Bottom Line: You'll receive over 20 years worth of publishing experience, and I personally guarantee it will forever change your career as an author.

This e-book can save you many hours of wasted effort
and thousands of dollars in wasted money.
