SO THEN, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?!
Self-Publishing is...ALOT!
You want to be empowered and learn how to do this right, but there's a million moving parts to the self-publishing process, and putting them all together just seems overwhelming.
You've read umpteen blogs, watched 50'leven Youtube videos, and asked every author and their mama for info, and you're still confused. Every time you turn around there's something else you didn't know.
You don't know who to trust. It seems like everyone says something different about the "right" way to do this. And you know that some of these people don't know what they're talking about.
You've heard horror stories about self-published authors getting taken by so-called self-publishing companies and industry professionals who turn out to be nothing more than Scamela Anderson and her shady friends. And you don't have time to be wasting money on wannabes and scammers.
You know you need to do some kind of marketing so you can actually sell the book, but you have no idea what to do, and the thought of putting yourself out there is simply terrifying.
TRUST ME, I GET IT!

Q: “What if I'm just not good at book marketing?”
Full-Time Authorpreneurship
But you have questions about self-publishing the right way. I bet your’e thinking...
A: Yeah, I know I need to market the book if I want to actually sell it, but I'm an introvert, and the mere idea of putting myself out there is scary as hell. When it comes to marketing, either you've got it or you don't, and I'm afraid I just don't.
Q: “Who can I trust when it comes to self-publishing?”
A: So many people claim to have all the answers for how to self-publish the right way, but how do I know who's legit and who's out here pretending or just scamming? I don't have money to waste. How do I know who to trust and who to avoid?
Q: “Most indie authors aren't successful; why would I be different?”
A: I've heard all the devastating statistics about self-publishing, and I know the chance to be successful is slim. How do I beat the odds and actually make a sustainable career from
self-publishing? Is it even possible?
A: It's cool to have high-quality books and all, but how do I get people to actually buy them? Even with great reviews, consistent sales is a challenge. What am I doing wrong?
Q: “I don't have an author platform and I don't know how to build one.”
A: I know social media is a must when it comes to building an online platform, but I don't know what I'm doing. How do I find my target audience and build a platform when no one seems to even notice my posts?
Q: “What if no one buys my books?”
What's up, Indie Friends! I'm Monique Mensah, and I've asked these questions and experienced all the feels as a new self-published author and more. But after successfully self-publishing 5 of my own books, helping over 100 indie authors publish and sell their books, and scaling my business as an authorpreneur to 6 figures in 9 months, I've perfected the transformation process from struggling author to full-time authorpreneur.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT ALL THAT...I GOT YOU!
