Self-Publishing 101
Self-Publishing can be like walking in the forest with no map, no compass, and no idea where you're going... With a gigantic mythical beast lurking in the woods waiting to eat your lunch. The beast is the Amazon algorithm. Nobody has seen it; nobody knows if it even exists. So they want you to believe.
Without proper guidance, equipment, and experience, your chances of failure rise exponentially in the self-publishing game.
As a new author, you're already feeling the doubt creep in; maybe you're trying not to even think about the publishing yet. The idea of getting a traditional publisher seems impossible, but you don't have time to self-publish... It's like you need a degree to self-publish on Amazon with the algorithm, keyword, and category research... What about finding a good editor or a book cover designer? I was scared once too.
Mountain Mind Tricks Publishing does it all for you, but the first step isn't some technical algorithm hack. All you have to do is listen to the Shamanic Author Podcast and listen to the episode I just published.
