1st August 2019 Reporting back to my followers. I don't know how many of you, like me, thought it was impossible to make money from writing unless you were extremely lucky, well, I was told that the Self Publishing Formula was the answer, but the 101 course was £400. I didn't really have that sort of money, but dipped into my football (soccer) fund and bought it. That was at the end of March. I diligently followed the course, found a professional editor and somewhere to get better covers. It all cost money and (remember I'm 71 and on a pension) I was just about out of cash I could use. However, the work on the books and the better blurbs etc. were causing a few sales and, even better, readthrough (when people finish one book and start another). Then I realised I must have the SPF Ads For Authors Course if I was going to turn my 30 books a month (and growing) into real success and a substantial income. I borrowed from savings to pay for that and started it early June. On 17th June I started my first adverts and, by the end of June (13 days) I had already earned enough Amazon royalties to pay for both the 101 course AND the Ads course. What would July bring? The Visitor became a Best Seller in the UK Kindle Store and The Door is right behind it. http://harmsworth.net/2019images/20190711bestseller.jpg The following two Amazon web pages show what I've done in July. If you want a career in writing, FIND THE MONEY for the course and IF YOU FOLLOW IT DILIGENTLY you too could see these results. You can read back through my feed to follow my path. July sales by volume: http://harmsworth.net/2019images/20190731sales.jpg July sales by value: http://harmsworth.net/2019images/20190731royalties.jpg I know I have followers who are capable of following my lead. At least a dozen. Just LOOK at my royalties for July, and still growing. It is up to you. You need good stories, well written, well edited with good covers and the sky is the limit!

@TonyHarmsworth That's so cool! I hope to follow in your footsteps. I aimed for trad pub for far too long, and have finally decided to take a risk on the indie author route. It seems to be that the real innovations in SciFi storytelling are coming from indie authors.

Thanks, Jorkam. On here very rarely now so only just saw this. You were such a help.

Loved sphere and passenger. Isaac Asimov is my favorite author. The best book to me is Society of the Mind. He was the reason I even got into robots.

11th July 2019 It took 107 days from starting the Self Publishing Formula 101 course to get to this position. Check out the Amazon screenshot here: http://harmsworth.net/20190711hsfbestseller.jpg This shows the book with its orange best seller banner: http://harmsworth.net/20190711bestseller.jpg Think that sums up the quality of the course.
