About this course…

About 2 years ago, I was watching my little girl reading along with, and playing games with an eBook on the Kindle. With all of the sounds, and animations, it reminded me of the interactive CD-Roms I used to create in the 90’s - and how cool would it be to make eBooks for my daughter! So, I wondered, what software were they using to create these eBooks & apps, and could I learn, and teach it? After months of searching, trial and error, I came up with a way to make my own interactive eBooks… but, it was a far more complicated than I wanted. The problem was it involved several programs, as well as writing and tweaking code.

Then, I found it, an eBook publishing solution that handled EVERYTHING, and I didn't have to write a single line of code!

This software does all the heavy lifting on the back end, and leaves your mind free to create your masterpiece!

This software is so simple, I can teach you the basics in just over 30 minutes!

SIGN UP FOR THIS FREE COURSE, and I'll show you how you can create YOUR OWN eBook :)

If you are wanting a quick and easy guide to start creating your own interactive e-book then this is the course for you. It leads you through each basic step in a easy and comprehensive manner that anyone who know how to use a computer could get. My little brother who is 11 years old watched this with me and understood how to create an e-book for this. I have taken several of Tony Ross's classes over the past few years. Each time I take a course I learn something new in a way that leaves me feeling confident in my abilities and gives me the courage to get started.

Everything was explained in terms that a beginner could easily understand, and I am nothing if not a beginner when it comes to eBooks. After the course I believe the process is easy enough to follow to create a quality professional looking end result. The idea of creating something like this seemed daunting at first but after this course the only intimidating factor I can think of is coming up with an idea of a book at all. Will definitely look for more advanced courses.
