If I STARTED SELF-PUBLISHING in 2026, here's what I would do...

We're covering how to title your book, cover design, writing the book description, keywords, categories, genre, how to publish to print on demand companies, and tons of different marketing techniques that I'd recommend for a beginner just starting out in self-publishing.

BUT I could talk so much more in-depth about each of these topics, so check out the list of videos I mentioned below for more OR check out my self-publishing course here: https://www.udemy.com/course/novel-self-publishing-and-marketing-masterclass/?referralCode=4D59A9B5BB7B69999003
