The Self-Publishing Revolution: Doing It Yourself

The Self-Publishing Revolution

“What do you mean by the self-publishing revolution?” You may ask. Is it violent? Is it a war? What’s this all about?

Relax, the self-publishing revolution is as peaceful as it gets. Its a revolution in the field of arts. In writing, producing, designing and content creation.

In the beginning

Once upon a time, if you wanted to succeed at any art you needed a publisher. If you were an author, you would take your draft to publisher after publisher, receiving rejection after rejection. Eventually, if you were lucky, someone might give you a chance and publish your book.

Likewise, if you wanted to produce an education course. Or a nasheed album. Even if it was just publishing an article.

Then the internet happened! And with it came the revolution.

Self-Publishing and Beyond

Today, with the internet you no longer need to face rejection. You don’t need to find a publisher. You can publish your latest article straight to your blog. As soon as your book is ready, it can be up for sale on Amazon. And you can even launch your own online learning academy.

I know.

Because I did all three at Islamic Self Help.

In the past two years, Islamic Self Help has been a platform for publishing dozens of articles, 10 eBooks and 5 online courses.

This feature is about one of those premium online courses. And if you are interested in doing what I am doing, then you have to read this.

How to self-publish your works

At Islamic Self Help, we want to help other artists do what we do. We want to help you self-publish your works. This is why we designed a course to teach you everything you need to know about self-publishing.

Launched January 1st 2017, our premium course ‘How to Self-Publish Your Book in 90 days‘ has helped over 50 students learn the ins and outs of self-publishing.

Through a series of 86 video lessons, we take you from the very beginning (idea generation, draft writing) to the higher levels (email marketing, sales).

The good news that this course isn’t just for authors!

If you have anything you want to self-publish, an eBook, articles, poetry, even videos, then this course is for you!

What would you get out of this course?

Imagine being able to turn your passion into a source of side income. Imagine being able to make money from the sale of your product in your sleep!

If you are serious about publishing your art, you owe it to yourself to learn self-publishing.

Self Publishing will:

1- Grant you autonomy

2- Keep you in control of the sales and distribution of your products

3- Help you publish faster

4- Increase percentage of income per sale

5- Protect your copyright over your writings

Can you handle it?

Warning: This course is long and comprehensive. Featuring over 100 lessons (including notes, tests and videos). But it is just the beginning.

Practicing what you learn, and self-publishing your own eBooks and products will be the real challenge.

A few reflections on this two year anniversary:

  1. If you have a good idea, get started with it. 
  2. Start small and scale upwards. Focus on providing value, not perfection.

  4. Too many people have unaccomplished dreams because they kept finding excuses to delay. Let go of your excuses and get started today.
