Book Description

You don't need an agent or a publisher to make your new book a success. You can use the power of the crowd to pre-fund your book and create your own virtual signing bonus. That's what I did. I raised over $35k in 30-days for my new book series. Want to know how to do it? That's what this book is all about.

I know what struggles you have as an aspiring author. One of the biggest ones is book marketing, and selling books. I've written this book to help give you an easy way to solve those problems. In this book I take you step-by-step through how I did it myself, and show you how you can do it as well.

Who is this book for?

* Anyone who has ever thought of writing a book or had the idea for a book, on any topic, in any niche

* Anyone who doesn't want to deal with the agents and big publishers and wants to have control to do it themselves

* Anyone who wants to make money selling books before they even put pen to paper

You know there's a better way to publish books. This is it. Take this simple, easy-to-follow strategy and make it a reality.

What's in the book?

* Step-by-step instructions on how to create your own crowdfunding or "pre-funding" campaign

* Including details on how to set up your funding campaign and landing page

* Advice on how to build your own platform you can use to drive awareness for your book

* Tools and resources you can use to create your pre-funding campaign

It's all here. I've taken my entire experience of pre-funding my own books to the tune of over $35k and put it into this book for you to read and follow and do yourself! The best part is, anyone can do this.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"Excellent work, well written, good information and a quick read." - David Meerman Scott, bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR

"Jim Kukral shows you the new rules to publishing in the digital age. Follow his advice and you'll increase your chances for fame, influence and profits." - Dan Janal, Author of Reporters Are Looking For You

"In No Publisher Needed, Jim Kukral once again hits a home run.  Through his own unique and proven experience, Jim explains how to "crowdsource" your book before a single page is written.  That way, you can prove the viability of your idea, build a loyal fan base, and obtain initial funding to create a book that succeeds in the marketplace.  I know I am excited to begin my next book project and to put Jim's advice to use." - Brian Newman

I've never given a bad book review but I just had to say that this book was a huge disappointment. First, the price is over valued. Why? This isn't a book; it's a marketing brochure and I prefer not pay for someone else's marketing collateral. Throughout this document, the author constantly pitches his businesses and services in an attempt to get the reader to spend more money on his enterprises. I haven't checked his website but I suspect that you will learn as much from his website, for free, as you would from this document. Apologies to the author for my candid review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Read, Full of Solid Info! March 14, 2012
By IlirS
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This (like another of his books I've recently downloaded), is a very quick read. But he gets down to business right out the gate and tells you exactly how he raised the money before he ever even wrote his book. Reading his strategies got my juices flowing as I'm starting to come up with many of my own ideas for pre-funding /crowdsourcing. Give yourself a book deal, self publish, and keep your profits. The rules of the publishing industry are changing fast and if anyone's going to show you the path -it's THIS GUY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Opened a whole new can of worms! April 30, 2013

Crowdfunding is a totally new concept to me. In fact, I found out about it completely by accident through this book! As a new author who had no previous knowledge of crowdfunding for my books, I think Jim does an excellent job of explaining what this is and how to successfully run your own promotion- realistically. Very well written and wonderful information. I am now going to have to work this new can of worms into my writer's priorities.
