Hi Liam, I got bought your course and looked over it. It does provide a clear and organised way to get an ebook done. Not everyone has the money to outsource, so a clear and focused way to get content down is good. What I was hoping for also - was direction on getting the ebook onto kindle. The ebook template is good - but do you have one the kindle as well? Is there a chance of getting this added - or to provide an extra video to cover this aspect? Some direction on editing and image formatting for upload onto kindle would be great. Also - can you advise how to get access to the webinar? Thanks Erin |

Hi Liam , just wanted to know if the ebooks will be properly formatted for Kindle, according to Amazon's strict formatting guidelines for the Kindle products? Kindle I intend to be my main focus for my books and need to make certain the customers will always be happy with the format. Thanks so much greatly appreciate it

I don't cover anything about Kindle formatting in the course as it is really about content creation. However I've had lots of requests so am looking to put something together for that. There will be more details in the webinar. All the best, Liam | |

This is an excellent WSO! Liam takes you thru the ins and outs of writing an ebook, explaining the reasons WHY things work the way they do and HOW to actually do it. The templates alone are worth more than then entire product. You won't be disapointed! Robin |

Did you say the webinar will be recorded and available to those who can't attend live? Any chance it will be transcribed into a pdf too?

Hi, Liam. I just purchased minutes ago and got to the sign in page at ebookwritingmastery.com - then was told "Sorry, this content is for members." Then I was thrown out ![]() Let me know if I need to send you my payment information (or will I get something via email)??? Ina Oops! Never mind. I found the email when I checked and my access details were there. |

I just watched the videos and downloaded the PDF. Very interesting and informative WSO. No fluff whatsoever. I'm loving it!!! ![]() I only have one question, though Liam, and I apologize in advance if I should have put this in a PM to you - however, I don't believe it gives anything away. In looking at the video where you updated the ebook file after inputting some content, the page numbers all show as cardinal numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) including the "front of the book" pages (foreward/preface, etc.). These should show as lower-case Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv, etc.); for example, in the video both a front-matter page and a content page in the book claim to be on page 5; one should have been "v" and one "5." I hope I haven't confused you with this. Anyway, is there some way to be sure that roman-lettered pages maintain that attribute in the updated TOC? Ina |

Hi Ina, glad you're enjoying it; thanks for the comments. You'll find that the template does follow the correct convention of roman numerals for the 'front of book' pages. Sorry for any confusion. All the best Liam Quote:

Great product! I've been a best-selling Amazon author more than twice (more like 10x), and I still picked up useful tips from this WSO. I especially like how well Liam articulates things that work... things I'd never analyzed, and didn't recognize as essential to productivity. Now I can see why some days I write more than others, and why my work is better when I follow certain routines. I'm really pleased with this WSO. I recommend it for any writer (or aspiring writer) who needs to be more consistently productive. Tip: If you use binaural beats, try the text on page 30 -- with binaural-creation software -- to create a subliminal recording that improves your work. |

Questions: 1. When you put one of your average sellers on kindle how many units do you typically sell month in month out? Yes, I know it's hard to say and there are variables. BUT I would presume you know your averages pretty well. 2. One of the things I stink at is cover creation. I read you cover this, do the covers look really good that you show us how to do? Thanks, Patrick |

Liam, you have such a beautiful heart and are obviously a very caring person. I'm sure that's why you wrote this book/course and want to help others. I encourage you to keep doing that because we need more people who truly care for others and want to help them. I HIGHLY recommend this ebook as a writer's motivational and time management guide. I feel extremely confident you'll get your money's worth for that purpose. Unfortunately, Liam, I ask for your forgiveness at this point because I have asked for a refund. And here's why. I'm sure you started with the goal to produce a helpful "content creation" guide, helping others dream up, write, and produce various types of content. But that is NOT the product you've provided us with here. What you have provided is a great MOTIVATIONAL guide, a getting started helper, a how-to on getting your emotions and thinking straight so you can START writing, creating, producing, BUT that's where this ends, other than giving a very, very, very generic template -- one far less useful than fifth-grade writing students get from their teacher in school and are easily copied from the 30,000+ school districts in the US. What you've sold here is your heart. Let me say that again, as it's very important to understand where I'm coming from. What you've sold here is your heart and your desire to help others. That's a beautiful thing and a valuable one. But with that transaction comes a duty that you've not fulfilled yet here. My suggestion is to consider renaming this course/ebook/outline etc. It's value is great, but NOT as a CONTENT CREATION guide or helper in any way. In that regard, you offer only a handful of sentences and a bare bones extremely limiting template, so the title and advertising are all very misleading. Here's what I wrote to you in my PayPal refund request: "Please refund my $9.97 as this is completely useless for me, a long-time technical writer and writing teacher. This "Content Creation Blaster" is a motivational book, not a content creation book. Very misleading about the "content" of this work. Very good for motivating people to write, and what to do BEFORE you write and create, but less than a couple of sentences about HOW to create and write, and exactly WHAT to do to create and write. I suggest you change your advertising copy to reflect the fact that this is not a step-by-step content creation process, but a step-by-step motivational plan to help you write/create. It may help you if you would write out your specific behavioral objectives, what you want your readers to know and be able to do, before you create content for your own next book/course/ebook, etc. In this course/ebook, you stated one objective and ended up delivering something totally unrelated. Your heart, soul, and intentions are clearly in the right place, but what you delivered was totally unrelated to your advertised promises. That's why I waited to ask for a refund; I love your heart, but your delivered goods are indescribably unrelated to your written "behavioral objectives" for your readers/students. Get these two things aligned and you will have students/followers who'll love you forever AND will be making money from your guidance. Please refund my $9.97." My plan now is to keep you on my list of good-hearted, well-intentioned teachers... and wait to see if you can align your heart with your output, keeping your auto-responding emails in my inbox and staying on your list. I'll definitely buy recommended affiliate products through your links to support you, but can't buy your products until you get clear on what it is you are actually producing and selling. I took a lot of time to think this through BEFORE I responded here because I'm totally disgusted with the way so many sideswipers really try to harass, embarrass, trash, and end a seller's WSO before it even has time to get legitimate reviews back from real users, not affiliates with money on their minds. I'm writing this because, in my heart, I see the potential for a REAL teacher here who cares about their followers. I see that in you. What I'm not seeing yet is you taking the time to (1) put your students first, (2) write out clearly stated behavioral objectives of what you want them to know, learn, and be able to produce after reading or working through YOUR content/ebook/course, and (3) you actually producing the EXACT content that will ensure they can do the thing you want them to be able to do. I clearly see you have put a lot of heart and soul into what you've produced here, but there's a very clear disconnect between what YOU think you have provided and what you have actually provided. I encourage you, in both this course and future courses, to take advantage of some of the abundant resources online for TEACHERS, not internet marketers, to help you hone those skills. I say this because you have a gift... a very marketable gift... that does NOT come across as phony, fake or any other bad way... and that gift is a true heart of a helping TEACHER. I'm sure others here would agree. Another internet marketer I see with that gift, undiluted by any association with being salesy, is Jim Cockrum. I'm sure you know that's a HUGE compliment. The difference right now for you is truly studying how you can take your gift as a writer and a teacher, then deliver on specific behavioral objectives you set for your students. Whether Jim does that on purpose or whether he was just born with that gifted vision naturally, he DOES set and write out very clear and specific behavioral objectives for his students/readers/followers, then very clearly fulfills every single teaching objective, and then ends with and follows up on those specific objectives to make sure EVERY student/reader/follower can also actually meet every one of his objectives... if they wish. He's a complete teaching package, one that rewards him with loyal followers who can actually DO SOMETHING as a result of following him and his written objectives. Simply put, his followers always acquire SPECIFIC MARKETABLE SKILLS as a result of following him. You have the gift to be and do the same. I hope you choose to fulfill your dreams in the same way he has. A way that duplicates his own successes in his followers. Unfortunately, your "Content Creation Blaster" does NOT fulfill ANY of your stated objectives right now. The TITLE and its promises sell, but the actual value of the ebook is ONLY for motivational purposes, for "getting ready" to write or for "staying motivated," not for actually producing or creating anything. It is a time management guide. There is no writing or content deliverable here that a student will have after reading or doing what you suggest in your ebook. Your title promises a tangible "deliverable." A noun. Some content. A product. Your ebook delivers only feel good adjectives, leaving happy students left to flail on their own. Simply put, there is no BLAST. There is no instruction on actual content at all. None. Its a prequel -- a trailer for coming attractions. One I hope you continue. Its a misnamed, helpful motivational guide. With no deliverables, except raised hopes and increased self-esteem. With high hopes and self-esteem now raised, I'm afraid I have to ask for a refund, no matter how nice I think you are, to pay for a "content-creation" tool that actually helps produce tangible content. Please refund Paypal Transaction #8DF239599W5599056. On the other hand, I HIGHLY recommend this ebook as a writer's motivational and time management guide. I feel extremely confident you'll get your money's worth for that purpose. Robin Carlisle Robin Carlisle |

Still thinking about this ebook... If you changed the title, your ebook's value would be immediately apparent. Think of how you'd fill in the blanks for these behavioral objectives and you'll quickly see what I mean... Upon reading and applying the techniques in this ebook, the reader/student will be able to __(know/do/perform/repeat/etc what?)__________ with _______ % accuracy _______ % of the time. In the case of your ebook, I can name 100 behavioral objectives you've fulfilled in the areas of time management skills and motivational skills for writers, video producers, and other content creators, but only one or two behavioral objectives in the areas of actually helping a student/reader produce any content. Your student/readers learn time management and motivational skills from this ebook, not writing, video, or other content creation skills. Nor is there any fill-in-the blank content-generating template. Only a basic template for formatting a document and minimally bare bones at that. Think of it this way, if you were to give your readers/students a short review quiz at the end of your ebook/course to see if they understood and can apply the lessons you've tried to teach them, what would those questions be? I think you'll find that ALL your questions would be related to motivational techniques and time management skills and NONE would be on creating content or using a template to create content. "A rose by any other name would not smell so sweet...." You've got a rose here. She deserves to be called by her rightful name. The only reason I even added this is because I see this as a viable product for a precise market, but the title as it stands implies and promises that a student/reader will be able to do something that your ebook does NOT teach. Retitle it, tailor your ad copy to reflect the good content you actually do deliver, and you'll have no complaints, no accusations of false advertising, and far fewer refund requests. |

It was most certainly a compliment and I look forward to reading you in the future. You are definitely worth watching. I already had my own working system for prewriting motivation, etc, so it wasn't what I needed. (Hence my suggestion for a title change). But you definitely have your heart, head, and expertise in the right place and am sure students/readers/marketers will get a lot out of the materials you provide them.

This WSO is far more than just motivational. The templates -- in DOC and ODT format -- are worth many times the price of this WSO. Yes, I bought this WSO when it first launched and I liked it then. It said things that I needed to hear, in the motivational section. Now, I'm gearing up to write a series of shorter ebooks in one niche, and the template -- which I'm using in Libre Office (another free spin-off of the free OpenOffice word processing software) -- is pure gold. I know I need to write these books, and a lot of them. My goal is actually 15 Kindle books during the month of September. (These are books I write myself, not outsourced. I don't outsource books. Ever.) I've been stalling, and staring at my keyboard with the equivalent of writers' block on steroids. I couldn't even come up with an outline for the first book, even though I had a good topic idea. It's been the 800-pound gorilla in the room. I'd done almost everything I could to ignore the looming deadline, and it's become an impossible problem for me. I absolutely, positively, must get these books started. So, on the brink of buying yet another product related to writing books, I went through my files and saw this WSO collecting virtual dust on my hard drive. I opened the ebook template that came with this WSO and -- bingo -- that's exactly what I needed. Frankly, I can hardly wait to get started on the book, because this template will make it easy. (With September on my doorstep, it's going to be a very busy month. "Easy" is a very good thing, to meet my targets.) So, here's my reason for posting a follow-up review: If all you do is read the motivational portion of this WSO and it works... good for you! That may be all you need. However, if you (as I did) overlook the value of the ebook templates that are included, you may be missing the most valuable part of this WSO. I have others' ebook templates. Lots of them, in fact. Every one of them offers something good. This is the only one that truly takes you by the hand and leads you -- section-by-section and page-by-page -- from the title, through the main content of the book, all the way to the page where you'll remind readers of your other books. (I'll admit that I usually forget that part, and it's essential in Kindle books.) I wasn't quite to the point of watching soap operas while muttering, "Oh dear heaven, how am I going to get these books completed on schedule?" However, I'll admit to spending far too much time at Facebook, procrastinating until this WSO helped me organize my thoughts. So, HUGE thanks to Liam for this WSO. The holidays are my best season for book sales. Content Creation Blaster is saving me from a month of frustration, overwork, and questionable results as I work on a fresh series of books to make the most of the upcoming holidays. |

Purchased (Transaction ID: 8YY11680DP194282M) but 2 bad things happened: 1. Warrior + page "Click here to access purchase" leads to an ebookmasterywriting.com page which asks for a login, but does not give the option to register if you don't have a login/password. No login was sent by email. 2. Warrior + page there is a Your Other Purchases Related To This Product link. That link does not work. Please send access to product and bonuses. Hope your system works better than your download access. 8) Thanks! |

Apologies to those who have been having problems with the download. It seems the hosting company we use has been having server issues. Should all be working now. Kindle is such an amazing opportunity. Never before has it been so easy to publish and market your own books. I now have 20+ books on Kindle and this product is still the basis for my publishing endeavours. Content Creation Blaster will give you some of the pieces in the puzzle. The remaining pieces will come from you. You just need to get out there and DO it. All the best to everyone, Liam |

I could not help but to notice that 90% of the comments and reviews related to issues that happened over a year ago. Given all the changes that have taken place on Amazon, Kindle, and the internet itself, is this publication still valid? Or has it been updated in some manner to stay current? mmoody1222@yahoo.com |
