As you wander the virtual exhibit hall and take part in informative teleseminars, you'll discover great ideas for how to write, publish, and promote your book.
I learned a lot and loved having the option for comments and questions. I really appreciated being able to listen to some of the presentations a second time and to postpone others for later.

The Self-Publishers Online Conference is the First and the Largest Online Conference Specifically Dedicated to Self-Publishing!
SPOC was great - very informative - very real - not too sales oriented. My book is finished and now I'm taking the next steps to get it out there. This conference clarifed several points in my plans that I was unsure about.
~ Lisa Are Wulf, www.livingforgod.net
As a published author, you can use your book to:
- Establish expertise and build credibility, so you get higher quality clients who are ready to pay you what you're worth.
- Find out what self-publishing options are the perfect fit for you. (Just because a site comes up highly in a Google search doesn't mean it's the right company for YOUR book.)
- Discover what additional book distribution channels are available and get your books out where your readers can find them.
- Hear about methods to build a business with your book
- Generate multiple income streams and passive revenue from your work
Get your most vexing publishing questions answered at SPOC!
Incredible hands on advice. Great expertise. Loved the moderators. Really seemed to "get it" and redirect speakers to help new writers. Had a real sense of honesty and "good people" feel. Incredibly talented mix of presenters. Liked that material was detailed yet presented so that even a novice could understand. Absolutely wonderful. Presenters made it plain how involved process is. Thank you so much. Loved it.

Do it! Set aside the time and religiously attend. You'll learn more at this one conference than you will anywhere else.
~ Jim Prevost - alaskaportsandpassages.com
Yes. I'd probably have them over and listen to some of the sessions and point out how SPOC had helped me to focus on 'getting into print' and encourage them to do the same. Thanks for a very worthwhile conference.
~ Stephen J Barrett www.StephenJBarrett.com
Absolutely. The best conference I've atttended in a long time. Maybe I was just ready, but you did a fabulous job.
~ Harold Metzel
Yes. A great and easy way to answer all your self-publishing questions. It also gave me permission to go the self-publishing route (inspiration).
~ Jenny Hadfield CoachJenny.com
YES! I would tell them that this is the #1 self-publishing conference of the year. You'll learn more in 3 days at this conference than you would in a year trying to figure it out for yourself. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. In fact I don't know how you're charging so little for all you offer.
~ Kathy Goughenour www.wemarketyouprofit.com
Yes; I am overwhelmed with information, but in a good way! I really got so much helpful, practical information from taking part in this.

Absolutely, this is my first time attending but now that I have enjoyed the experience I will promote it on my blog next year for my genealogy readers who are turning their family histories into novels.
~ Lynn Palermo www.thearmchairgenealogist.com
Yes. It has inspired me to get back to my book again with renewed enthusiasm to complete it, and empowered by the many new skills gained from the conference. I got more than my money's worth on the first day alone. I will definitely be signing up for SPOC again next year.
