Self Publishing Profitably

If you are serious about book marketing (and of course you are since you're reading our Book Marketing and Publicity blog), there are some upcoming seminars that deserve your serious consideration. Do you need to go to all of them? Nope. Just read through our comments and figure out which ones make sense for you based on your needs.

THE SYSTEM SUMMIT
June 11-14, 2004
Chicago

Who is it for?
Anyone serious about selling books on the Internet. (You will need to have at least some Internet experience as the course is not for complete beginners.)

Our thoughts:
This is THE course that I attended to learn the Internet knowledge that dropped $35,000 to our bottom line in less than a year. I cannot speak highly enough of The System and Ken McCarthy. You should go. Period. (You should go.)

Secret Tip:
Sign up for the Pre-System training on the site, even if you can't go to the seminar. The free information you'll get in advance of the seminar is worth thousands of dollars by itself. I will probably be in on some of the free teleseminars too.
