A traditional publisher pays you a small share of each sale. It picks the cover, the price and the release date, and it often keeps the rights for years.
Self-publishing fixes most of that. You keep full creative control and the rights, and Amazon KDP pays up to 70% royalties on ebooks in its main price band. It also hands you a lot of new jobs. If you have tried it, you know the catch. Every job the publisher did is now yours:
Most of them don't matter much. A few matter a lot. I'll show you which are which.
I'm Chris Baird. When I started with Kindle ebooks, I got almost nowhere for the first year. I could write, but I didn't know how to get a book published properly or how to get it to sell.
So I read everything I could and tested what I learned on my own books. Since then I have published 230 books and sold over 50,000 copies, and my Amazon ads have been shown more than 200 million times. I have also made 750+ YouTube videos for self-publishers and helped hundreds of authors with their books.
Have been able to make small changes in order to get big results…
Chris was able to quickly identify the issue with how to get my book selling right away. I think he was able to lower my expenses by thousands of dollars. Before I e-met him I thought that I must produce 100 books (50 000$) and then I will be able to make ~$1000/month. I didn't understand just how important keywords are in the title or description and now have been able to make small changes in order to get big results. Thanks, Chris!

He has excellent knowledge regarding self-publishing. Chris offers a cost-effective, highly professional service. I would recommend Chris's services to anyone who wants to self publish and needs help.

How to publish a book. Complete newbie. Directed me to the right resources, and acted as a therapist when I’d question of wisdom of my undertaking. It’s short and sweet. He doesn’t go on and on. Also if you want to talk to him about something specific, you can meet on Slack and discuss things. I recommend afternoon calls. I use it with my coffee first thing in the morning, and well, it’s not a good look.

Thanks to Chris' information and willingness to share his success, I easily created my first ad campaign in just a few minutes. He promptly responded to my questions with simple answers, quickly understanding my genre and suggesting attention-getting ads for my book.
Help with self publishing my first book
The questions I had were related to the self publication process as it was my first time publishing a book. The answers to my questions were very relevant and useful and they helped me in understanding and making sense of various aspects of the self publication process. Other author's and writers should watch the content made by you and ask questions as it will help them understand how the books market works and what it would take for them to get properly discovered and sell their books.
Live session with Chris Baird
I am an author and I have published a couple of tech books on Amazon. Writing book is one thing I love but getting them to rank and sell on Amazon was one of my biggest problem. Then I met Chris. To myself I knew that I wasn't doing something right but figuring it out was a big issue for me. The live session with Chris is a stepping stone for me.

It is the best live session I have ever had. Step by step, he helped me figure out those problems and gave me tips on how to make things better. One of the way he assisted me was with my author biography and also getting my books to rank better. He said " the goal is not to get millions of sales but to get reasonable amount of sales. Thanks alot Chris. All I can say to viewers watching Chris contents is to keep on watching. He is really here to assist and not for just the money.
Thanks
The problems I should say. I don’t think I did anything right the first go around. I had it in my mind I was gonna sell a ton of these and I had no sales. So it’s heartbreaking at first. From the keywords to the title of my book it was just all wrong. Even writing the description was not right. So many things to say the least.

Well having so many issues with just the low content journals I was putting out. I was able to get on YouTube and I happen to stumble upon your videos and I have to say “ They have really helped me with many things”. To wording my Titles. Then adding those Titles to great covers. Then figuring out that I needed to get them in front of the right audience. So then how much the difference can be made through promotional ads, and promoting them myself through different social media platforms that are totally free. I definitely give A BIG THUMBS UP to all your videos, because I learned so many things through all of them. By telling your story, truly does help other authors realize it’s okay to make mistakes, and realize a lot of those mistakes can be easily fixed. It’s definitely worth trying again, to publish another book just to see how much you can take from these videos, apply these techniques and extra tips that’s given and see how it can change things making it profitable. Seeing the many different ways of publishing, advertising, and the different platforms that can be used gives many ideas and possibilities, that it would be a shame to think how many authors would give up after publishing their first book, such an unimaginable loss of what could have been???? For that, Thank You So Much……
