For all of her determination, courage, and motivation it has paid off for Author Deborah H. Bateman in creating another inspiring eBook--Self Publishing Simplified.

In her latest eBook, Self Publishing Simplified, Deborah has laid out a well planned executed outline of her steps for self publishing on Amazon Kindle.

From her understanding of taking a course on eBooks, to better understanding eBook publishing by first establishing her blogs, her websites, her daily devotionals all making her presence known on the internet.

She established her "voice" on what she had a passion for: sharing God's word with the world.

This is not her first published eBook; however, once she set her sights on her first eBook series she just kept on going publishing, adding more and more to her arsenal of knowledge, and now her willingness to share it and at times for free. This is motivation, coupled with passion, in high gear.

She has demonstrated a high sense of focused commitment and well deserved confidence, always with a high regard for quality.

In this eBook she reveals and shares her resources of why self publish, where to self publish, and how to self publish an eBook plus step by step marketing ideas, including images.

Because it is so understandable, a newbie in publishing will capture the information and follow it in detail.

Thanks Deborah for sharing your inspiration and insight into this complex world of creating and marketing an eBook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplified is the Name of This Great Little Book

Sometimes I forget how much information one needs to know to self-publish a book. I lead a network of authors and I am glad to have found this little gem. Now I can direct authors and hopeful writers to a great resource that is stripped down and simplified so even a novice can easily self-publish. The way Deborah writes can make the daunting process even enjoyable. If money is limited or you get stuck at some point, she gives websites where you can get additional help for free or inexpensively. I also picked up a few additional tips so I would recommend this book even for those who have self-published before. Good resources that are short, well-written, and to the point can be hard to find.

This is a great book for the newbie in self-publishing. Bateman provides several tips, and even shows how they have been successful for her. She covers a variety of topics from formatting your book, marketing it, and selling it on platforms such as Amazon.com. I will be publishing an e-book within the next few months and when I do, I will reference back to this book.

This is a great introductory book for anyone wanting to publish a book. It is short, 46 pages, so it doesn't have all the details, but it can be easily read in one sitting to help you get started. I wish I'd had this book before I started my publishing venture. And, there's more to it than the subtitle implies. You'll read about building a platform, marketing, using the KDP free days, and publishing paperback books.

Self Publishing Simplified is exactly that. I've quite a bit on self-publishing and Bateman's book is spot-on. I love how she gets right to the point and doesn't try to spin her successes or failures. No talk of wildly successful publishing campaigns. She tells it like it is, which of course makes it believable. I'm currently using it as a reference to using Kindle. The price is cheap for the value you're getting.

I love how DB took the reader from the pre-work of publicity and marketing to the 'meat' of the matter, the actual book, to the post-published state of marketing and publicity. I have published one book, and have immediate plans to release many more! Deborah, you made it all clear and (somewhat...for me!) easy.

Anything you write will be owned by me.

This describes the basic steps for publishing using outsourcing for the cover editing and formatting. It is a bit outdated as create space can’t be used for print on demand books any more

1.0 out of 5 stars Themaverfehlung
Reviewed in Germany on October 2, 2012
Verified Purchase
Negativ: Die Autorin hat scheinbar keine Ahnung davon was ich als Leser will, bevor ich mir ein ebook kaufe: Informationen darüber, was mir das Buch bringt, wenn ich es kaufe.

Sie verschwendet ca. 10 Seiten (9% - Pos 25 von 445) für völlig uninteressante, belanglose Informationen, die absolut nichts über das Versprechen des Titels aussagen ("WIE" veröffentliche ich ein Buch auf dem Kindle). Diese überflüssigen Inhalte bekomme ich, wenn ich mir die Vorschau ansehe oder mir eine Leseprobe senden lasse.

Erst bei ca. 9% (bei meinen Einstellungen) kommt das Inhaltsverzeichnis. Das Inhaltsverzeichnis ist nicht verlinkt, aber die Kapitel lassen sich über den Button "Inhalte" anzeigen und anklicken (Kindle-App für PC).

Die ersten drei Kapitel sind meiner Meinung eine Themaverfehlung, denn es interessiert mich nicht wie die Autorin eine Autorin wurde; was meine Leidenschaft ist, trägt meiner Meinung nach nichts dazu bei wie ich ein ebook auf dem Kindle veröffentliche; und meine Marketingplattform ebenfalls nicht. Das ist Marketing, aber hat meiner Meinung nach nichts damit zu tun WIE ich ein ebook auf Kindle veröffentliche. Darüber habe ich mir ausführliche Informationen erwartet und so gut wie keine gefunden.

Ein einziges Kapitel beschäftigt sich, meiner Meinung nach relativ oberflächlich, mit dem tatsächlichen Veröffentlichen - das was der Titel verspricht - auf dem Kindle. Der Rest geht erneut am Thema vorbei.

Positiv: Das Cover ist sehr gut.

Fazit: Da ich das ebook (ohne Vorschau) kostenlos innerhalb der KDP-Select Promo herunter geladen habe, hat es nur meine Zeit, aber nicht mein Geld verschwendet. Schade um ein interessantes Thema, zu dem es sich sicherlich viel schreiben lässt.
