How I Self-Published 19 Books (14 Bestsellers) Without Overwhelm—And How You Can Too!
And there are more on the way!
When I started writing, I had no idea how to self-publish.
I thought I needed a big budget, a publisher, or years of experience. Even though I had read about self-publishing authors going out on their own and succeeding, I thought that was a drop in the bucket. That it was impossible for me.
After all, how many aspiring authors write and publish a book and the only people who order it are their mothers and best friends? That happens a lot by the way. And it is painful when you consider the loads of time that went into writing that book.
But after I wrote my first few books, I realized something…
It Starts with Writing a Book in Stages
When it comes to writing a book, I break it up into three parts:
Phase One: Pre-manuscript. This phase is for ideas, mapping and outlining, and writing your book.
Phase Two: Pre-Publishing. In this part, you edit, format, and design your book cover. This get’s you ready for the Big Bang!
Phase Three: Bestseller. This phase is all about making your book into a bestseller with keywords, categories, publishing, and book launching.
These three phases are how you go from idea to bestseller. And it is super easy to do. I have done it over and over again. And now, I am sharing exactly what I do to write and publish 19 books (14 bestsellers) and counting.
The Minimalist Author Way to 19 Published Books
Instead, I figured out a minimalist system—one that helped me self-publish 19 books, 14 of them bestsellers. It was a system that I had learned from others, but cut out all the extra junk that was keeping me stuck.
My first book took me four months to publish. My second one took me nearly a year. And then, my third book, took me one and a half months. Here’s what I learned:
You don’t need a complicated process—just a repeatable one.
Writing a book doesn’t have to take years (I’ve done it in less than 90 days).
Marketing isn’t about selling—it’s about positioning your book for success.
People want your book to succeed, even complete strangers.
And you can make money doing it too!
That’s why I created The Minimalist Author Way—a proven step-by-step system to help aspiring authors go from idea to bestseller in 90 days or less. Here’s how it helps:
Clarify your book idea so it can be a bestseller.
Prepare to write your book so you can write it fast.
How to write a book in 30 days.
Takes you through editing, formatting, and designing.
Shares how to set up your book launch so you can become a bestseller.
This is the system I use. And when I change it a little bit, I update the course. The truth of the matter is you can go from idea to published book in no time at all, and it doesn’t have to be super complicated.
