Hi, I've started a topic for 8 Hours to Jump Start Your Career: A Step-By-Step Guide for Self-Published Authors (Book One The 8 Hour Series)
If you've read the book and would like to share your progress or comment this is a great place to do that. Be sure to mention your book(s) because that will give you an additional opportunity to promote your book. I can't wait to hear your story.
BLURB: Forget about spending 8 Hours a day on promoting your book. For less than a value meal you'll learn how to take just 8 hours and invest them in actionable tasks that will pay dividends into the future. Don't you owe it to yourself to reclaim your life?
Authors are sick and tired of spending every minute of the day promoting themselves and their books. It doesn't have to be that way. 8 Hours to Jump Start Your Career: A Step-by-Step Guide for Self-Published Authors shows you how to invest just 8 hours into actionable tasks that will pay dividends into the future freeing you up to do other things. These are not tasks thought up over night they are the results of over 2 years of research and personal experimentation. I cannot guarantee that it will make you a Bestseller, but many who've followed the tasks outlined in the book can now boast that Bestseller status. Spend it with family, go on vacation, or write your next book it's all up to you. What will you do with all that time you're going to have?

Listen to Tammie! This is the best advice I can offer a self-publishing author. She is a marketing genius with a keen eye for potential sales, a knack for beautiful cover art and most importantly a desire to help other aspiring authors.
Violet Patterson- Author of the YA fantasy ESTELAN, and Kindle Bestselling Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance the EMERALD SEER series.
As an independent publisher initially of print books only, we find ourselves in a funny place between self-published and mainstream. It's more difficult for an indie publisher to secure distribution deals, sales reps etc, and just when we almost gave up we secured a distributor and representation. The kindle world is just as tough for an indie publisher as it is for self-published and we almost decided not to go on kindle. The joy for the smaller operation like us is that the authors go out and make contacts and one of our authors really pushed for a kindle presence and met Tammie Clarke Gibbs online. The sharing, learning and introduction to the online world that Ms. Gibbs offered was just wonderful and so thanks to her we went ahead and dipped our toes into kindle-land!

In this book, you will find all of the advice she has already given me, along with so much more. Indeed, this advice has changed the way I prepare my work for market, and how I approach the market when I get there.
J Bryden Lloyd (Author - UK) The Chronicles Of Jenson Quest & The Zubot Master.
With Tammie's help I have altered my blurbs, redesigned my covers, completely redone my blog, which has had 500 views in the last month alone, and all of this has been done with only minimal effort, enabling me to maximize my resources, my time, and most importantly, my efficiency, leaving me with more time for writing.
The past two months have not only been the best I've had for sales and money, but they have been beyond my wildest dreams. In the past month I have sold more than double the number of books I originally hoped to sell by the end of the year.
Tammie's advice is not only to the point and spot on with what needs to be done, it is easy to follow and truly will save you time in the long run.
I heartily recommend following any advice Tammie gives, not only is she great at marketing, but she has done wonders at helping me to brand myself as an author and make my covers and blurbs more reader friendly and enticing.
Thanks to Tammie I am now able to claim bestseller status for my thriller and find myself with more time for working on my other projects.
If you are truly serious about making writing a career, whether full time or part time, then I strongly recommend you listen to this lady.
