About this listen
Self-publishing expert Rodney Miles reveals proven strategies for entrepreneurs ready to publish their first book without traditional gatekeepers. After helping create 300+ books over 14 years, Rodney shares insider knowledge on Amazon KDP, realistic publishing costs, and critical launch mistakes that kill book success before it starts.
Busy entrepreneurs can complete professional business books in weeks instead of years using strategic interview methods and content repurposing. Rodney breaks down the complete self-publishing process: choosing between ghostwriters and collaboration models, navigating ISBN requirements, copyright registration, and Library of Congress cataloging. You'll understand why your email list matters more than social media followers, how to generate authentic Amazon reviews without violating terms of service, and the psychology behind book covers that convert browsers into buyers.
This episode covers essential publishing infrastructure including Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark for wide distribution, and audiobook production economics. Perfect for entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants who recognize that business books open doors to speaking engagements, premium client acquisition, and industry authority. Rodney addresses beta reader strategies, advance review coordination, forward selection for credibility, and modern book launch strategies that work in the digital age.
