I Self Published
My Own Cook Book and Sold
|
From: Denise Hamilton
Dear Friend, Ever
since I became a bestselling cookbook author I've had aspiring
authors approach me to ask:
"How can I
publish my own cookbook?" and "Exactly
what did you do to sell over a
quarter of a million copies?". I'll tell you, I have bent over backwards trying to teach every aspiring cookbook author exactly how to implement every strategy I've used to sell over 250,000 copies of my book. Surprisingly, I still see countless people with incredible cookbook ideas wasting months and months of time only to give up on the verge of a bestseller simply because they're afraid that it's too difficult, too expensive, or too much of a risk. I've spent a lot of time looking for a solution - an easy way to help these authors by giving them all of the knowledge, tips and techniques they need in order to create a cookbook that sells... But all I've found is information on publishing cookbooks for friends, family and fundraisers. If that's all you want, then you're in luck out there... but if you want to publish a cookbook that sells, then you need more.
It's true, I did succeed and I did sell a lot of books. But, I learned it all the hard way and it took me years to become successful. Looking back, I wish I had someone like me around to make sure I avoided all the costly mistakes. I'm here now to help you. I have finally figured out a way to give new cookbook authors one-on-one guidance and support. I've put together a resource that includes EVERYTHING I know about self publishing cookbooks including...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, I just sold 20,000 copies of this self published cookbook author's second book: "Denise is a one woman publishing dynamo! Very few self published authors have been as successful or sold as many books as Denise has.
She’s living
proof that you can do it on your own, without a publisher backing
you up (and taking your profits!). When it comes to marketing,
publicity and other aspects of the publishing business she really
thinks outside the box, which results in big sales! Denise has
learned the ups and downs of a very difficult business from personal
experience, and I can think of no one better to help first time book
publisher navigate their own journey! Knowledge is power, and is
invaluable if you want to turn a profit.
Why publish your cookbook yourself? I decided to self publish my own book for one main reason: because I wanted to keep all of my profits! After all my hard work and effort I didn't want to give all of my profits away to a publisher, who wouldn't do much to promote it anyway. You should be thinking the same thing.
Let me put it this way, if you
spend all of your valuable time looking for a big publishing house
to
publish your cookbook, you've accomplished 3 things:
1. You've spent a lot of time
looking when you could have already had your book published.
Publishing contracts can take years to sign and then once you've
signed, new books are usually put on the waiting list and aren't
published for one to three years. Do you really want to wait that
long? You could publish your cookbook yourself in a
fraction of the time it takes to find a publisher.
2. You will lose all
control of your book. Before I decided to self publish, I
found a publishing house who wanted to take on my book. I was
ecstatic and thought that was the best thing to ever happen to me.
Wrong. The publisher wanted to change everything! They wanted to
change the cover, the title, the layout... pretty much the entire
concept of the book. I don't know about you, but I have some pretty
strong feelings about my cookbook and I didn't want anyone telling
me what to do. Guess what? I was obviously right or I wouldn't
have sold 250,000 copies! 3. You're going to miss out on all the profit. When you sign with a publisher they pay you and advance on sales - which means if your sales aren't high enough, that money is NOT yours to keep. Then, you receive royalties on book sales once sales levels pass your advance payment. Royalties are, at the very MOST, 10% of the price of the book. Ten percent?? For all your hard work, can you imagine only earning ten percent? I couldn't, and that's why I published my cookbook myself. I keep 100% of the profits from my books sales. Not ten percent, one hundred percent. That's a big difference.
How can you be sure I know what I'm talking about? The proof is in the sales for one thing. If I've sold over a quarter of a million copies, I must have a pretty darn good idea of what I'm doing. The truth is, it took me a long time to figure it out. But I did it. I figured out the best ways to sell cookbooks and make money. Now I'm going to save you all that extra time and put you on the fast track to cookbook publishing success. You should also know that I actually spend most of my time now helping other self published authors market and sell their books. In fact, I just sold another 20,000 copies of another author's self published book. That's 20,000 copies, in one sale, with no returns. I'm negotiating a deal for another sale of 25,000 right now. I will also explain to you how I sold my books to large volume buyers, to foreign countries, and to large publishing houses. These sales are my favorite because all I have to do is collect checks. I don't even have to pay to print the books, the buyer handles that. Here's the best part, my book isn't even in the bookstores today, but I continue selling the rights and earning money on it each and every year. I'll tell you all about these buyers and I'll even tell you how to reach them.
"Denise Hamilton is AMAZING! Over the years, I have learned
so much from her and she has shared SO many incredible ideas on
marketing my best-selling, self-published books. She has a
proven track record that will save YOU so much time, money and
wasted effort. Learn from the absolute expert...you won't regret
your decision as your books' success and your business depends
on it!"

I will save you loads of time, effort and money. I've already made all the mistakes, so don't you make them too! I want to do everything I can to prevent you from wasting your valuable time (and money) by giving you all of my very own tips, secrets and strategies for publishing a bestselling cookbook. It's true that I published and sold 250,000 copies of my own book without taking a single workshop or seminar to do it. I am a self-taught, self published author, and I'm going to share my experience and knowledge with you in an easy to follow program that you can complete at home, on your own time. I did do it all on my own, but it took me
years. You now have the opportunity to benefit from my experience and
fast-track your way to big book sales. You won't believe what I'm about to say, but it's true... It really doesn't matter if you are a chef... it doesn't matter if you don't have any formal cooking training... and it doesn't even matter if you have no experience whatsoever. What I have put together is an easy to follow, effective, program that covers all of the crucial concepts, techniques and strategies you're going to need -- without any hype or fluff. Most importantly, if you only sell a few books to your family and friends, you've paid for the cost of this entire program - guaranteed. No one else can offer you that kind of deal. No one. So, if you want to publish a book that makes you money... if you want to publish your own cook book and keep all of your profits... if you want to achieve all of this quickly and without spending thousands and thousands of dollars on mistakes that I'm going to teach you exactly how to avoid... then keep on reading!
As cookbook authors, we all have different ideas and different levels of experience. We all even have different styles of cooking, but... ...every single one of us can be successful in cookbook publishing. Why? Because it all boils down to some very simple techniques, having the right information in the beginning, following the right steps... and with the latest publishing options available today, very little capital to begin. Sure publishing is a competitive industry, but does that mean your cookbook book doesn't have incredible potential? Heck no! Did you know that publishing is a multi-billion dollar industry today? People buy cookbooks! I KNOW you have a few in your cupboard don't you??? So, can you have a chunk of that multi-billion dollar pie? You bet you can! If you're willing to put in a little work. From what I've personally seen in this industry, the biggest reason most cookbook authors fail is that they throw away huge amounts of money in all the wrong places by working on a trial-and-error basis. They aren't committed to publishing as a business and they think that their cookbook will just fly off the shelves with absolutely no effort on their part. There is no business in the world that will do that for you. You will have to work at it, but if you believe in your book, you will be successful. The key is understanding exactly what you have to do.
Based on my own personal experience, I will tell you exactly how you're going to sell your cookbook. Your first priority with your cookbook is going to be understanding the many different marketing options and profit generating avenues you can use. There are so many places to sell your book other than just bookstores, and if you think all you have to do is get your book on the bookstore shelves to become a bestseller-- you're wrong.

total sales through bookstores --
The techniques I'll show you will bring you many different streams of revenue so your cookbook publishing business can keep on growing. Rather than just dumping endless amounts of money into your publishing business, you'll learn how to make money and grow your business so you can work on publishing more books.
