Joe Konrath has sold 276,112 self published eBooks and there’s a lot to be learned from someone who has done that. On a side note: I won’t be announcing what I’m doing on Kindle publicly, but if you’re in the Freedom Fighters you’ll hear about it soon enough.
Leveling Up – Building An Audience Is Kind of Like Playing a Video Game by Christopher Sharpe
