Free Books to Turbo Charge your Publishing
Book cover design and book formatting are just some of the things I do. I also manage about a dozen publishing related businesses and publish books of my own. In fact, having spent over 10 years working intimately with all facets of the publishing process, I’ve become an expert on print on demand and ebooks, building an author platform, hacking Kindle and Amazon, social media manipulation and book marketing.
I write articles about that stuff on my main blog, www.creativindie.com, where I also give away a ton of free content. But in case you never visit me over there, here are some free books for you!
Book Marketing is Dead
I recently redid Book Marketing is Dead (2016) and added it to KDP Select, so I had to stop giving it away for free. It’s been a bestseller for the past 2 years though, so you might want to check it out on Amazon.

My brand and platform is devoted to helping you become creatively independent – that is, getting paid to be creative, by making things of value that help and/or entertain others. So while I talk a lot about publishing and selling books, I also focus on starting and running a successful business, creativity and productivity boosters, and tricks to gain more visibility, traffic and followers.
These books are all a little dated, but people still seem to like them – if they’re helpful, please track them down on Amazon and leave a review!
