Whether you are...

Inkers Con has exactly what you need.

Regardless of which path you’re on…

If you’re not yet where you want to be in your career…

Oftentimes it’s just a small missing piece of the puzzle (or two)

that needs to be revealed and fit into place…’

And voila!

Your author career transforms.

 

We wholeheartedly believe that with the right knowledge and implementation…

 

You can accomplish all of your goals.

That’s where Inkers Con comes in.

We’ve seen that every successful author excels in 4 areas:

Craft

There’s no way around it: If you want to be a best-selling author, your books have to be good.

Marketing

And of course, no matter how good your books are, if people don’t know about them, people won’t read them.

Advertising

But free marketing avenues will only get you so far. When it’s time to scale and supercharge your career, it’s time to look into paid ads.

Business

To tie all this together and turn it into a career that supports you… the business side is crucial.

Inkers Con provides the education and resources to excel in these four key areas.

24+ Classes

You’ll get 6 years of access to 24+ professionally recorded classes. Each class is motivating, actionable, and taught by best-selling authors and industry experts.

BUSINESS CLASSES

Learn how to pitch your book to film agents, what producers are looking for, the most common mistakes that authors make, and the finances behind a Hollywood deal. Taught by an entertainment attorney who specializes in book adaptations and rights.

One of the most important mindset shifts present in successful authors is the ability to take risks. But how can we take risks when the stakes are so high? Learn how to succeed using gamification while avoiding the pitfalls that tank most authors’ attempts.

Ebook income often dominates an author’s royalty reports, but there’s so much untapped potential in your print formats. Learn how you can double-dip on books with special editions, direct sales, Kickstarter campaigns, and more.

It’s time to treat your business with the respect it deserves, so grab your notebook, because this class will deliver an MBA worth of information in just an hour! Learn how to protect your books from a legal standpoint, account for your income and expenses properly, and how to plan strategically for success.

Go behind the scenes and learn the key strategies, team structure, and mindset shifts that allow for scalable growth. This session dives deep with real-life case studies, strategic questions, and actionable tips. You’ll be able to finish this class with a personalized roadmap to boost your own income and success.

Learn strategies to move from 5 to 6 figures (and have more $20k months) by using a low-stress, multiple-streams-of-income approach. This is a 90-minute deep dive and will highlight the concepts using real-life examples and strategies that you can put into place for yourself.

Speakers: Kenya Wright, Krista Richie, Casualfarmer, Aven Ellis
