"I found the lecture really helpful and am now buzzing with ideas and opportunities that I had simply not spotted before. “ – Imogen C.
I've spent the last 10 years building a multi-six-figure income from my writing – and my business and my book sales are powered by content marketing.
My blog at TheCreativePenn.com has several thousand articles on it, my podcast has over 400 episodes and my YouTube channel has over 500 videos, all created while I have been writing my fiction and non-fiction books.
I've used social media to spread the word about my content, but it's the content itself that has driven readers to my books.
I now want to do the same for my fiction, and in this mini-course, I will take you through the roadmap of how to use content marketing to sell more books and build an asset that can turn into multiple streams of income around your fiction.
I'll also share what has worked – and what hasn't worked – in my own fiction content marketing journey so far.
This is not an exhaustive course that will give you the detailed 'how to' steps of blogging, podcasting, making videos etc, but it will put everything in perspective and give you ideas for your next steps on the journey.
I look forward to seeing you inside the course.
