This collection of webinars from Writer's Digest provide you with the tools you need to succeed. The collection, valued at $236 is available for only $199 – a savings of almost 16%! This collection includes: Instant Publishing Modelspresented by publisher Jane Friedman The publishing world has exploded with new and free opportunities to help you get visibility for your work. New online services can help you publish your work quickly, test market ideas, and create a readership—with no start-up cost to you. Get a behind-the-scenes tour of how these sites work and how writers are using them to move their career forward. While instant publishing doesn't equal instant success (if you build it, they may NOT come), you'll learn how authors have used online tools to increase their visibility and open up other opportunities. ($49 value) How to Create an iPhone App presented by author Al Katkowsky The opportunity in mobile publishing is staggering. It is estimated that, by 2011, there will be over one billion web-enabled mobile phones worldwide. For those who may be considering putting their resources into other e-book formats, please consider this: iPhone owners outnumber Kindle owners by a ten to one ratio. While there is a Kindle app for iPhone, Kindle pays only one third of the book price back to the author for self published works, whereas Apple pays over two thirds back to the author/creator of each app. In this webinar, we will demystify the iTunes store, iPhone app creation, and the approval process, and put you in the driver's seat.
