Are Your Ready to Quit Your Job and Make a Living As An Author?I was offered my first book deal before the age of 30. I was over the moon! I had a literary agent, and one of the top publishers in the country; when the book was published, there were even mega-production studios calling my agent to inquire about the rights.It’s what every author dreams of, right?!Kind of. Sort of. No!It used to be. But that was several years ago. That was before the birth of the first real game-changer since Gutenberg's press: the Amazon Kindle.The Kindle itself didn’t rock the industry to its core - rather, it was the self-publishing platform that came with it: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)Authors could always self-publish, but prior to KDP, it was something you did when no publisher would take a chance on you. After KDP, authors were proving that for the price of $0, you could have your book published not only electronically, but in print as well. In a very short time, authors started using KDP and becoming millionaires!I started using KDP (as well as other publishing distribution channels) way back when it first opened its doors, and I haven’t looked back. I’ve launched several imprints and have sold over 2,000,000 books. In this book, I’ll show you how I, and other authors, have done it.A word of caution: this isn’t a how-to publish a book on KDP; if you need a step-by-step on how to navigate through the KDP dashboard, then there are other books that cover that (but seriously, publishing through KDP is ridiculously easy!). This book is to help you launch your book and attract more readers.

Jump Start Your Career As a Children's Writer!Many years ago, I had the idea for my first picture book. I sat on in for years for one reason and one reason only: I couldn't draw. Like at all! Even my stick figures looked terrible!I hoped one day to be connected with an illustrator who couldn't write, but one day I decided to stop waiting and start doing! I got proactive and started looking for an illustrator. And it wasn't as much as I anticipated. I realized that this was something that really could be done on a budget!This book is twofold: One, it's for writers like me who need to know how to find an illustrator on a budget Two, it's for children's writers who are hoping to one day make a living doing this.Let's be clear: This is not an easy career; nor is one you will get rich quick at. But if you are ready for some hard work, then read on!Note: this book is based of "The Six Figure Writer"; it has an expanded section covering Children's Authorship.

Are You Ready To Cut the Cable Cord?If you are like most people, then you are probably paying way too much for cable. And if you are like most people, you probably want to know if a media player like Apple TV can help.In a word: yes.There are lots of options out there when it comes to media players, but Apple TV is arguably one of the best. It’s slick. It’s fast. And it just works. It’s everything you’d expect from Apple. But how does it work!This book will guide you through all the features you should know. It will also give you a rundown of all the most popular services out there available on Apple TV (like Disney+ and Hulu).This guide is an introduction to the newest Apple TV (released in October 2017); but if you have the earlier 2015 model, that’s fine—you’ll even find it useful if you have the earlier models (though some of the features won’t be here).The book is based on “Apple TV: A Ridiculously Simple Guide to Getting Started with Apple TV 4K and HD with TVOS 13” but includes an extra section on accessibility.If you are ready to take your entertainment to the next level, let’s go!

The smart house has arrived. The days of buying from one company for your home security, another company for your thermostat, and still another for your doorbell camera are behind us! You can still do that, of course, but today’s smart homes can easily belong to one ecosystem, which allows them to interact better with each other.This book will look at how to make your home “smart” using Google products. It will cover:·      Nest Learning Thermostats·      Nest Cams·      Nest Hello (Doorbell Camera)·      Nest Secure Alarm·      Nest Protect·      Nest WifiThis book will not cover Google smart speakers (such as the Google Home and Nest Mini); these devices use Google Assistant, but there’s not a lot of settings you need to know about. That said, they do work very well in your home if you have other Google devices. For example, if you have the Nest Doorbell, your speakers will chime and tell you who is at the door if you have speakers throughout your house. Nest Mini speakers are frequently on sale for less than $30.This book is based off of iOS, but the Android OS version of Nest is nearly identical.If you are ready to connect your home to the future, then let’s get started.
