Description
As the publishing landscape shifts beneath our feet, writers have to work harder than ever before to sell their books, raise consumer awareness, and stand out from every other book on the shelf. One of the most economical and powerful ways of doing this is with the free online tools provided by Amazon through their "Author Central" platform. Whether you're a traditionally published author, or a self published author, this webinar will explain what those tools are and how to use them most effectively.
The opportunities for driving sales are many. Learning which techniques and tools are most effective, however, as well as what kind of success you can expect by using them, are things you'll only discover during this webinar.
