Your main goal is to sell more of your books as an author, get your books out there and reach more of your target audience as well as make money from your books.
But the problem most times is the “how”. Writing is easy for most authors but what about book promotion and marketing and then you hear the sound of cluelessness.
What about getting a book deal and making money from selling books – that is really the dream of most authors.
