You will also be enrolled in the SPF University (if you’re not already), which includes regular live training events to supplement your course material. You’ll receive a separate email about this.
Finally, a word of advice. There is no silver bullet to success. The secret to growing your audience and sales is to master the various steps and look for incremental gains. Don’t be disheartened if your first efforts don’t yield immediate results.
Look at the various aspects of your author platform and ensure that everything is as good as it can be. If you feel like you’re doing everything right with your ads, then turn your attention to your covers and blurbs (and vice versa).
In short, treat your writing like a business.
​
The Mastery Facebook group is a great place to get moral support and practical answers to your self-publishing questions. I look forward to seeing you in there and hearing how you’re progressing with the course.
Best wishes,
James and the team.
