At the time self-publishing was (unkindly) referred to as “vanity publishing”. As if it was not valid. That myth lingers today.In 2018 I published my first book. The issue was that writing a book is a huge undertaking. In fact, it's too big to be a goal. It's a dream. Part of the enormity of the problem was that it was completely new territory. I had no guidance. I had to “go-it-alone”. Each step was painful.The fourth book I published, “Influence: Creation of Credibility” was to capture my process and make it available to other entrepreneurs. I break down the process into manageable steps to make it attainable for all coaches and consultants.

Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) will provide the specifications you need to either design the cover yourself, or have an artist do it for you.Mobile: The cover should look good on mobile devices as well as desktop, as many people will be browsing and buying books on their smartphones.Reviews: Once you get reviews, you can add them to your cover by updating the cover of your book. You'll want to plan ahead if you want to do this. Design the cover is way that will allow you to add or substitute the reviews for another element.Bestseller: Of course, WHEN your book becomes a bestseller, you can include a bestseller badge or label on the cover.
