THE FIRST BOOK BLUEPRINT

$19.95

📚 YOU HAVE A BOOK IDEA.

NOW WHAT?

You know what you want to write.

Maybe you've even started.

But then the questions begin...

❓ How long should my book be?

❓ What size should I make it?

❓ Kindle, paperback—or both?

❓ How do I format the thing?

❓ What does Amazon actually need from me?

❓ How do I create the cover?

❓ What should I charge?

❓ What are metadata, bleed, trim size, gutters and all this other stuff?

❓ And how do I actually get from a document on my computer to a REAL BOOK FOR SALE ON AMAZON?

That's exactly why I created...

🔥 THE FIRST BOOK BLUEPRINT

From “I Have a Really Good Idea” to Hitting Publish

A complete step-by-step manual for publishing your first Kindle eBook and Amazon paperback.

🚨 HERE'S THE PROBLEM.

Writing your first book isn't necessarily the confusing part.

Everything surrounding it is.

You start searching online and suddenly you're watching dozens of videos, opening fifteen browser tabs, getting conflicting advice, and hearing terminology nobody bothered to explain.

I know because I just went through it myself.

As I published my first book, I kept a running list of everything I didn't know.

Every setting I had to look up.

Every number that mattered.

Every mistake I almost made.

Every question I couldn't believe nobody had answered clearly.

By the time I finished, I had learned about fifty things I wished someone had told me before I started.

So I put them all in one place.

✅ THIS IS THAT PLACE.

📖 WHAT'S INSIDE?

The First Book Blueprint walks you through the process from idea to published book.

You'll learn:

✅ How to plan your book BEFORE you start writing

✅ How to choose your book type and format

✅ How to determine your target page count

✅ How to build an outline that makes finishing easier

✅ How to organize and write your manuscript

✅ How to structure the front, body and back matter

✅ How to format your interior

✅ How to choose the correct trim size and margins

✅ When you need bleed—and when you don't

✅ How to prepare images and illustrations

✅ How to create and properly size your cover

✅ How to set up your Amazon KDP account

✅ How to create the metadata that becomes your sales page

✅ How to upload, preview and troubleshoot your book

✅ How to price your Kindle and paperback editions

✅ How printing costs and royalties actually work

✅ How to order and evaluate your proof copy

✅ What to do on publish day

✅ What to focus on during your first 30 days

💰 AND THERE ARE A FEW THINGS MOST FIRST-TIME AUTHORS NEVER THINK ABOUT.

Things that can literally affect how much you make on every copy.

💰 THE PAGE-COUNT SWEET SPOT

There are situations where adding pages to your book doesn't increase your printing cost.

Knowing that before you write can completely change how you plan your book.

💰 THE ONE-CENT PRICING CLIFF

One penny in your paperback price can affect your royalty percentage.

One penny.

💰 THE FILE-SIZE TAX

Kindle delivery costs can be affected by the size of your file—something especially important if your book contains a lot of images.

These aren't exciting things to discover after you've built the book.

They're things you want to know before you start.

🧰 YOU'LL ALSO GET THE PRACTICAL STUFF.

This isn't supposed to be a motivational book you read, put on a shelf and forget.

It's a working manual.

☑️ Chapter-by-chapter checklists

☑️ Publishing specifications

☑️ Formatting guidance

☑️ Pricing guidance

☑️ Royalty information

☑️ Tool recommendations

☑️ Copyright-page guidance

☑️ A one-page publishing checklist

☑️ Common first-book rejection mistakes

☑️ Quick-reference specifications

The goal is simple:

READ IT ONCE.

Then come back and...

WORK IT LIKE A CHECKLIST.

🧠 WHY TRUST ME?

I spent nearly 40 years in federal law enforcement studying human behavior, working in investigations and surveillance, and teaching behavioral concepts and investigative techniques to thousands of federal agents and other professionals.

Today, I apply many of those same principles to content creation, communication, personal branding and understanding what makes people pay attention, trust and take action.

I've built audiences of more than 100,000 followers, created viral content, developed digital products and educational programs, and helped creators turn what they know into something other people can actually use.

But when I decided to publish my own first book, I discovered something important:

There were still things I didn't know.

So I documented the entire process.

And instead of keeping those lessons to myself...

I turned them into this blueprint.

🚫 YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

You don't need a publishing degree.

You don't need an agent.

You don't need a traditional publisher.

You don't need a massive audience.

And you definitely don't need to spend the next six months trying to piece together the process from random videos.

You need to know what comes next.

That's what this book gives you.
