       ⁄/ Introduction

      Ever had a goal that you thought was out of reach, but you somehow ended up living that dream? Well, that’s pretty much how I became an Amazon Best Selling Author. I’m Cinquanta, and I have self-published twelve books and created a residual income by following my dreams. I’m not here to tell you how easy it is or that you can magically have a book written in thirty days and become a millionaire. Nope, I want to save you the agony of getting your hopes up only to be let down by the harsh reality of self-publishing. I do want to be able to show you how to self-publish on a very tight budget.

      Nothing could be further from the truth. I am but an insignificant and powerless grain of sand waiting to be washed away into oblivion by the relentless Amazon tide.

      It’s quite depressing, because I know I can write, and I know I write well, and I know that readers love what I write, but standing out in an extremely crowded marketplace without spending a gazillion dollars on promotion is quite tricky. No one tells you about that. Well, they probably do, but as humans we often won’t do it, this information has been blocked out and buried, not least СКАЧАТЬ
