great advice

very helpful! I really enjoyed the authors honesty and way of expressing his ideas and experience.

Total Enjoyment, Gives the Hope Circuit a Boost.

I'm on my third time around, listening. I bought the Kindle version, as well. Since the book is a bit dated, several things weren't as they were described, but everything that was talked about was easily found, regardless.

I've been aiming to sit down and write for a long time. Buying Scrivener, MS Office, a new laptop and a few other books. This was just a few weeks ago that I listened to this book for the first time. Since the boost to the hope circuit, I talked about in the headline, I have decided to stop being an oral writer... that is, someone who just talks about writing, to actually get down to writing. I've started on a psych book on three differences each of us faces in regard to uniqueness and finding reason in one's life and a second book about biblical apologetics. I'm totally stoked about the second book, as I'm up to 19,814 words, and am just about halfway done with pulling information together. I know that I have quite a way to go, but I'm totally up for it!

I have never before gotten to this point, and the biggest thing is that I've not faced any of the times of depression I have to deal with every few days! (And no, I'm not bipolar) Glenn's book was the spark that I needed! I now have a list of things I KNOW that I can write about. It's funny, but I could never even come up with one thing to go on about, before this book.

The way that Glenn talks in this book isn't the most polished. I do voice-over work, and I cringe throughout this book. I really don't consider that a drawback, though. I hear the voice of a guy who has a message to share, and the conviction I hear throughout the book is something that has caused me to orbit back, now, for the third time.

I've gone through and set up accounts for my banking, Kindle Direct Publishing, and even CreateSpace, with its move over to KDP. The community that's talked about in this book is also a great motivator. Trust me, I'm a cynic's cynic. It's not that I'm a non-believer with stuff, but I do check things out. With Mr. Langohr's handholding, one is taken from idea to finished product, with plenty of stories in between. Mark me as a true believer. Books are forthcoming. :-)

helpful

this book has some good tips about promoting and proper placement of your ebook.

Wow, you the knowledge you don’t know

Big eye-opener, really lays everything out super simple, all you Gotta do is be in front of the computer and do exactly as he says. Doesn’t get more straightforward than that, great book!

Great Instructional Guide!

This is the first Glenn Langohr book I’ve read. Actually, I listened to the audiobook on the app Audible. In this book Glenn is straight forward and precise on the details of what it takes for you to self-publish a book on Amazon. I recommend this book for all self-publishing authors. The path has been set, all you have to do is take notes. and execute!
