About this audiobook
Anyone can write a book. The real trick? Writing one people actually finish, recommend, and buy. Most nonfiction books are forgotten before anyone even cracks the spine.
Self-Publish & Succeed gives you the proven #noboringbooks method to write, publish, and market a nonfiction book that gets read, shared, and sold. In this updated second edition, bestselling author Julie Broad delivers practical strategies for today’s publishing world—from audiobooks and bulk sales to AI tools for authors.

• Dodge the mistakes that sink most self-published titles
• Work with editors and designers to create a professional product
• Sell beyond Amazon with bulk orders, partnerships, and speaking
• Turn your book into a long-term business asset
Whether you’re a first-time author or a business leader ready to raise your profile, this book shows you how to create a nonfiction book people love—and that works hard for your business.
