Guest Post by WordCamp Albuquerque Speaker Kimanzi Constable
I had been blogging for a little while on Blogger, talking about work and how we spend our 40 hours a week. I took it a step further and decided to self-publish my first book, I knew I needed a better platform for my book and that’s what led me to WordPress.
I was so excited the day my WordPress site had 100 visitors, I thought I would sell one million copies of my ebook. The book came out and no one bought it, after two months I had sold 11 copies.
My website was only getting 20 visitors a day. I was missing something that would bring in the traffic to my website and give my ebook some exposure. I study a lot of figured out what I was missing and to date have over 10,000 visitors a month to my website and have now sold over 55,000 copies of my two ebooks.
My session at WordCamp Albuquerque will teach you how I finally brought people in, got them to come back and bring others with them. I will teach you the major change I made to sell so many ebooks I was offered several publishing contracts.
This session will help you take your WordPress site to the next level!
Hi Ray — what’s the book?
You can see Kimanzi’s website here: http://talesofwork.com/blog/
I believe the book he refers to above (he has since written another) is Tales of the Everyday Working Man (and Woman).
Good stuff Kimanzi! If your speech is anything like WordCamp GR you’re going to blow these guys away.
Kimanzi, keep leading on purpose.
