Clare Connelly's Story: the Transformative Power of Self-Publishing
One of the best days of my life is the day I sold my first book on Amazon. It changed my life.
At the time I was in the midst of the juggle of raising two small children and felt I was losing myself. I’d harboured the dream to write but faced rejection after rejection from traditional publishers. Right before I was about to quit, I took a chance and self-published on Amazon with absolutely no expectation of anyone buying or reading my book (fuelled in large part by a glass of Barossa Valley shiraz…).
But then…something incredible happened.
Within hours of the book going live, sales surged. In just three months I found myself among the elite as one of the top-selling Amazon-exclusive authors, even topping the best-seller chart for my genre. I became what’s known as an Amazon All Star in the US and UK (one of the top selling Amazon-exclusive authors). Even now, it remains an unbelievable “pinch me” moment.
I earned a six-figure income in my first year of self-publishing and, over the decade since, have continued to go from strength to strength.
If I can accomplish this self-publishing feat, I’m confident you can too.
That’s why I’m so passionate about self-publishing. I want to equip writers like you with the skills and strategies to bring your books to the online marketplace with confidence. We are here to guide you with strategies to be your most successful author self!
So if you’ve ever dreamt of seeing your name on the cover of a book that actually sells, know that with effort and knowledge it's within your reach. Come and learn how to turn your writing dreams into reality.
