Every day there are more and more AMAZING ebook
success stories from independently published authors
just like YOU!
We've all heard the stories:
Amanda Hocking & John Locke have sold a million ebooks.
Darcie Chan & Chris Culver made it onto the Top 10 list of
Amazon's Best Selling eBooks of 2011.
J.A. Konrath earned $100,000 in ebook royalties in just three weeks.
.
While the level of success these five authors have achieved is rare, it shows the incredible potential that ebooks hold to help independent authors turn their writing dreams into a writing career. You don't have to sell a million ebooks to have ebook success. For every Amanda Hocking or J.A. Konrath, there are scores of other success stories about authors who are:
- selling hundreds or thousands of ebooks a month
- growing their audience, platform, and business
- earning enough money to make their lives a little easier

The eBook Revolution is in high gear as ebook sales continue their explosive growth, especially on Amazon. That's FABULOUS news for both Indie and traditionally published authors!
What's particularly EXCITING is that ebooks can be any length, which greatly expands an author's publishing options. You can publish articles, reports, short stories, and even blog posts as an ebook, allowing you to make money, expand your visibility, and promote your other books, products and services quickly and easily.
Whether you want to publish an article or a novel, an ebook or a print book, become an Indie author or go the traditional publishing route, the formula for success is the same. It includes:
... a good book
... a solid platform
... a strong ongoing promotion plan
.
When my schedule permits, I love to work one on one with people.
- Do you have any articles, blog posts, short stories or other completed pieces that are sitting on your computer gathering dust that you'd like to turn into lead generation and income producing ebooks?
- Do you have a novel or non-fiction book or ebook that you’re ready to launch and promote, or whose book sales you’d like to revitalize?
- Do you want more visibility and a wider online presence to build a powerful "author's platform" or create a strategic foundation for ongoing book promotion?
I can help!

"The two hours I spent talking with Julie changed my whole outlook on being an independent author. Her marketing knowledge alone made me feel as if I had struck gold. She fairly vibrates with positive energy and made me feel as if her primary goal was to help me succeed."

It's Easier Than Ever to Publish eBooks!
You can upload an ebook in minutes, format it in hours, and have it be live on Amazon and ready to makes sales in a day or two, but don't let anyone fool you--to be a SUCCESSFUL ebook author takes knowledge, skill and work. I've seen too many authors upload ebooks to Amazon before they've addressed some of the most essential elements of ebook success, and then they wonder... "Where are the millions of ebook buyers I've been hearing so much about?"
What does it take to succeed as an ebook author?
- well thought out and carefully edited writing
- a professional looking cover and clean formatting
- in-book promotion that gently, but firmly, leads people to your website, and your other books, products, and services
- a professional appearance on Amazon and other book selling sites, which includes a well-written book description, reviews, a powerful author page, and use of appropriate keywords, categories and tags
- a fluid pricing strategy
- a promotional plan that includes platform building, book launch strategies, and ongoing promotion
I know that sounds like a lot (and it is) but don't worry... you don't have to do it all at once or do any of it perfectly. Yet if you address these ESSENTIAL elements of ebook success--doing the best you can, from wherever you are in the writing and publishing process--when you receive royalties from selling hundreds or even thousands of ebooks, instead of just a handful, you'll be glad you did.
Of course, I can't guarantee how many ebooks anyone will sell as there are too many variables, but I can say with certainty that if you want to be a successful ebook author then it's important to build a strong foundation. Too many skimp on this aspect of ebook publishing in their enthusiasm to get ebooks out as quickly as possible, and end up paying for it with lost ebook sales and missed opportunities.
While ebooks offer the potential for AMAZING sales and success, ebooks are not a get rich quick scheme. If you study the successful ebook authors closely, as I have, you'll notice that they share several things in common. They treat ebook publishing as a business, care about the quality of their writing, make sure their ebooks have a professional polish, are dedicated to ongoing promotion, and stay informed about the ebook industry.

This Is an Exciting Time To Be an Author!
There has never been a time like this. Independent authors are having INCREDIBLE success. Amanda Hocking, John Locke, Darcie Chan, J.A. Konrath, and so many others have shown us what's possible with great writing, powerful promotion, and a savvy ebook strategy. But you don't have to sell a million ebooks to benefit from the ebook gold rush that's happening, now.
Publishing your own eBooks can help you:
- earn extra money every month
- promote your products and services
- gain greater visibility and expert status
- add "author of..." to your bio
- get speaking gigs
- share your stories, ideas, and passion with the world
If you're ready to make the most of the opportunities that ebooks are offering authors, today, then sign up for an introductory coaching session with me, right now!
.
We'll Start Off With a 60 Minute
One-on-One Brainstorming Session
If you haven't published your first ebook, yet
we can...
- review pieces that you've already written to determine which ones are ready to be turned into ebooks
- decide what you want your ebooks to accomplish--to generate income, leads, visibility, etc.
- brainstorm potential ebooks based on your business, platform, priorities and passion
- determine what's needed to build a strong foundation for your ebook success (make your website "ebook ready," create a compelling opt-in offer, brainstorm bonuses and launch strategies, etc.)
If you've published one or more ebooks, already
we can...
- review and strengthen your pricing strategy, in-book promotion, and sales pages
- brainstorm new promotional avenues and joint venture partners
- review and strengthen your ebook business foundation (mailing list, higher priced products and services, long-term goals, publishing and promotion strategies)
- brainstorm upcoming ebooks to capitalize on your strengths and priorities, as well as your reader's needs
Or, if you're interested in finding a traditional publisher
we can...
- clarify and organize your book ideas
- brainstorm the elements of your book proposal
- build a stronger blogging and social media presence to strengthen your platform
- determine what promotional activities to start focusing on now
My introductory rate for new coaching clients is $50 for
a one hour coaching session--that's a 60% discount!

Not sure you're at a point, yet, where coaching can help? Read Karen's experience of our first coaching call together:
"I was looking forward to meeting you on the phone, but really feared the call would waste your time since I am in such an early stage of writing and planning my book. I thought it was too soon for me to benefit from a coach--and I couldn't have been more wrong! Your suggestions about how to gain clarity and focus while researching my market were incredibly helpful, and your energy amplified mine. I had no idea I would gain so much immediately from your guidance. Thank you!" Karen Wylie, SoapShed.com
"Thank you, Julie, for helping me to see a blank page not as something to fear, but to embrace for all the creative potential it holds. Our coaching session opened my eyes to the realm of possibilities for my project that I wasn't seeing. I can't wait to apply the suggestions you've given me, and am excited about the writing process again." Jennifer Aderhold
2012 has just begun and is overflowing with possibilities! The eBook Revolution is continuing to explode, which is great news for both Indie and traditionally published authors!
It's a particularly exciting development for self-publishers because ebooks can be any length, and even if your ultimate goal is a print book, you can test market an ebook at very low cost and work out all the kinks before spending money on a print run.
Whether you publish an ebook or print book, through self-publishing or a traditional publisher, the basic elements are the same:
