The 45-Day eBook Boot Camp | Sticky eBooks

The world needs your ideas.

Introducing the 45-Day eBook Boot Camp:

From Idea to Reality

You know that eBooks are great ways to leverage your expertise, attract visitors to your website, spread your ideas, even generate revenue … so why haven’t you written one?

If you’re anything like me, creating the space and accountability for getting a large project done is nearly impossible on your own. Sure, you can hire a coach but that is often prohibitively expensive. On the other hand, surrounding yourself with people headed for the same goal works for exercise programs, financial goals — so many areas of life. I can tell you it works for eBooks, too.

The 45-Day eBook Boot Camp provides both the concrete how-to information you need coupled with small-group coaching and a network of support. All for the price of two hours of private consultation.

I’m going to tell you more about the program, but first here’s what a recent 45-Day eBook Boot Camp participant wrote to me recently:

I’m LOVING boot camp. This class has been delightfully exceeding my expectations every week both in the awesomeness of your instruction and in the unbelievable amount of writing I’ve actually accomplished. Writing an ebook has been on my goals list for months and months and yet I had never made any progress on it until I signed up for your class. Now I’m 5,200 words into it and still going strong. I’m so happy I signed up for ebook boot camp because it delivered on all its promises and the support and structure of the class were exactly what I needed in order to conquer the scary specter of putting pen to paper. When I’m ready to write my next ebook, you can count on me coming back! — Jennifer Rodriguez, PDX Bookkeeping and Boot Camp participant

The 45-Day eBook Boot Camp is a 6.5 week program to take your eBook from idea to reality and blast through any obstacles you might encounter.

The program:

I might not have started this eBook at all without joining Kelly’s boot camp; it seemed like an enormous undertaking just thinking about it. But Kelly’s materials, framework and encouragement made the project totally digestible. — Carol Kelly, Ph.D., psychologist, eBook in progress: A Songbook for Couples

I’ve written more since starting the 45-Day eBook Boot Camp than I have in 2 years of struggling to write it by myself. — Raye Cage, Boot Camp participant
