    About this ebook

    Your writing and publishing should give you freedom.

    And for most people, it doesn't. 

    Because only four out of ten thousand authors actually make a living by publishing through Amazon.

    Shocking statistics. 

    As a writer, the solution is simple: learn how the system works. Then do that. 

    After five years of concentrated research, I've narrowed down to exactly what the core basics are that most authors have been missing. 

    There have been a few breakthroughs: 

    • What actually is a platform - and how you already have one.
    • The three habits you have to have in order to succeed.
    • Four steps you need to do before you start writing or outlining your book.
    • The two biggest lies spread in publishing.
    • How you can teach yourself to write perennial bestsellers at home.

    The biggest revelation is that, like Dorothy's ruby slippers, you already know most of this. The problem is that you've been trained not to believe it.

    This book is also a course. In 7 simple lessons, you can get started now toward a full-time career as a successful author. 

    It won't happen overnight. But you'll be on your way. 

    Success is waiting for you, along with your freedom.

    Author

    Dr. Robert C. Worstell

    Dr. Worstell is known for the depth and volume of his research - as well as his published works.  With seven degrees to his credit, ranging from comparative religions to computer networking, there are few fields he hasn't researched as a means to finding workable truths anyone can apply. His current work is in making fiction writing profitable, and kicking over the bee-hives of established "guru's" in that field. Worstell feels that creating a living by writing should be simple and inexpensive.  Most of his work is available through his blog posts long before they become books. This blog-to-book method is a way of sharing and refining his material broadly to everyone.

      Author Freedom Guidebook - Dr. Robert C. Worstell

      0. Welcome to Your Freedom

      WHEN THE VAST MAJORITY of people on this planet say they have a book in them, but less than one percent ever publish it, that's a shame.

      Worse, far less than one percent of those ever make a living from writing and publishing.

      It's no small wonder why authors are held with such respect and even awe.

      The trick is that any one and everyone can write and publish and make a decent living these days. And that's been possible for almost a decade at this point.

      What we are about to cover in this course is a set of materials which are the basics. They dispel some misconceptions and downright lies which are being spread. The people who do this make more money from you if you keep your day job and just pay them.

      Of course, you are reading this because you don't really believe them.

      And that is a good thing. Because you are expected to question and test everything you read, hear, or experience during this course. The acid test is that it has to work for you to be useful.

      We've also included practical steps for you to apply, as well as the transcripts and additional downloads for each lesson. If you want, it's also being published as an ebook, so you can study on your smartphone or other device any time you want.

      While these lessons are best studied in sequence, after you complete the first one and publish a book of your own (in just 30 minutes, for free) then you can study the rest anyway you want. It's just key that you get your first book done and out of the way.

      Are you ready to get more freedom into your life?

      Then let's get started.

      1. Get Published

      THE FIRST LIE FED TO Authors: It Takes Lots Of Time And Money To Get Your Writing Published.

      The truth is: a minimum viable book can be published in a single day or just a morning or an afternoon.

      And it costs you nothing but your time.

      Most people think writing and publishing is incredibly hard and difficult and expensive.

      Writing is simple – and free.

      You sit down and write until you're done, or do it over several days.

      Publishing is also simple – and free:

      You need 2500 words.

      You need a cover.

      You need 50 characters of a description.

      ​Writing

      FIND SOMETHING YOU'VE written that's at least 2500 words long. That's about 8-9 pages of single-spaced text (more or less.)

      The minimum for publishing on Amazon KDP is 2500 words. So that's your target.

      ​A Cover

      THIS IS SIMPLY TWO things: Big Text and Big Image.

      Hold your thumb up at arms length. You should be able to read and understand the cover on your thumb at that size. That's why they call those images thumbnails. When they shrink down to that size it still should be readable. Go on Amazon and look up some books and see what is also recommended lower on the page.

      See what you find there? Small covers you can still read and understand.

      The simplest approach to make covers is to use Canva.com online – they've got a lot of book cover templates there, designed specifically for Amazon KDP. Download the finished product to your computer. Or you could use any of the other free online book cover creators out there as well.

      ​Description

      WHEN YOU GET TO THIS point, just type in a sentence that describes your book. As much or as little as you want.

      ​Why this simple?

      BECAUSE ONCE YOU'VE done these steps, you'll have your first book up there and you'll only get better from here on out.

      One study says that most people (about 80%) have a book they want to write. But only about 10% ever do write it. And only about 10% of them actually get it published.

      The whole point of this lesson is to simply get you over this learning curve of publishing your own book.

      Look, if you don't like any part of it, Amazon and all ebook outlets will let you change what you put up there. At any time you want, today, tomorrow, or years from now. 

      The key point is to do it now and get it done.

      Yes, it's that simple.

      And just that free.

      In just a half an hour, you proved to yourself that you can publish any time you feel like it.

      Yes, the next books you write and publish will be better.

      You just accomplished more than most. You're now in that elite group called published authors. Time to update your business card and online profiles.

      So, take a break, go get your favorite beverage and celebrate!

      2. Get Your Basics In

      First, Get Set Up for Business

      YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE to have four points covered to succeed:

      1. A Blog. This is not always used, but you'll find that it will enable you to communicate to your audience and give you a place where you can
