1. Your Book

2. A Website/Blog

You will need a website to sell your books from. Your website will serve as a platform from which people will learn about your eBooks and make their purchases. Take a look at my eBook Store page for an example of how it can be done.

Ideally, you should start your website/blog a few months before launching your first book. Use it to build a customer-base, a mailing list and to promote your upcoming book. So when you finally launch, you will have a list of potential customers waiting to purchase it. 

3. A FACEBOOK page

Facebook is the one social media platform that reaches the most people. It also has the best paid advertising system from all the major social networks. The potential to reach new customers on Facebook is huge. Start your Facebook page today, and start building a following of potential readers.

4. A sales channel

Amazon, iBooks, Nook, Gumroad, Payhip and so many other websites offer you a platform through which you can sell your eBooks and make a profit. Discussing the pros and cons of each website will take a lot of time. This is why a large section of our online course focuses on discussing these websites, and providing our recommendations.

5. Sales and marketing training

Self publishing means taking on the role of the entire publishing team. You will need to become the author, editor, cover designer, publisher, marketer and sales manager. This means learning how to do each of these roles effectively. Learning this can take a long time…or not!

We have put together a 10 week course that will teach you every aspect of the self publishing process, including marketing and sales!

We had to learn all of this the hard way, and lost thousands of dollars through mistakes made in this field (including hiring the wrong publishers!) before we starting making a profit.

Today, Islamic Self Help makes a profit every month from our eBook sales, and we want to share with you our process for doing so. You do not have to make the same mistakes we made, you can bypass all that and go straight to profits with our 10 week online course.
