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\u2019s what led me to WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>This session will help you take your WordPress site to the next level!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"WordPress is Just the Beginning\" href=\"https:\/\/2012.albuquerque.wordcamp.org\/session\/wordpress-is-just-the-beginning\/\">WordCamp\u00a0Session<\/a>\u00bb | <a href=\"https:\/\/2012.albuquerque.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/#kimanzi-constable\">Speaker Profile<\/a>\u00bb | <a href=\"http:\/\/talesofwork.com\/blog\/\">Speaker Website<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Post by WordCamp Albuquerque Speaker Kimanzi Constable I had been blogging for a little while on Blogger, talking about work\u00a0 and how we spend our 40 hours a week.
