Could there be a harder way to go about self-publishing?

OK, so this book self-publishing plan is taking a little longer than I expected. If ever there was a hard way to go about self publishing - I think I picked them all!

Not to worry - I have got it now and it actually appears fairly easy to go about this self-publishing business. I will prove this fact by having my book online and ready for sale in a matter of weeks. The traditional hard copy version will follow.

What is the big secret? This may surprise you, but I carried the thoughts that this process would be difficult. A universal law is: you get what you think about. Your mind wants to prove you right, so I was finding it a difficult process. As soon as I changed my limiting belief to an empowering belief that self publishing was really an easy process - it became easy! All the things I needed fell into place. Told you earlier I was learning a lot!

I have lots of work ahead as I am looking at the things I need to do to market it too - but now it looks easy! Want to see my list to do? Here it is ............

- finish the back cover
- finish the cartooning
- create offers to be placed in the back of the book
- put the book into a PDF file
- pick the internet order system to carry my eBook
- get my ISBN (don't ask - I really complicated this one)
- research publishers
- make contacts for joint venture partnerships for book promotion
- create another eBook that I can give away free through my joint venture partnerships
- get my business cards and bookmarks printed (my daughter has designed them)
- create my link logo and write up description for website sharing
- decide which affiliate program I will use to help market my book
- write out my marketing calendar
- write articles to submit to online magazines
- write my press releases
- plan a monthly online newsletter that people can subscribe to

You see, now it is just a step by step process. How easy is that?
