Do you ever wonder why so many people believe you can’t make money as a writer? The truth is that it’s never been easier than it is today to make six and seven figures as an author! The problem is that most people write books without considering the marketing side.
I wrote The Million Dollar Seed: How to Write Your Book and Build an Empire to help writers, authors, speakers, and experts blast through this belief. The possibilities are endless when we approach book writing from a marketing perspective. With a self-publishing process and online services that include print on demand, we no longer need to have garages full of books. The days of selling one book at a time, fulfilling orders, and doing costly book tours are long gone!
Today, there are so many new ways of doing business with the worldwide web. You can choose to tour from your home or office, never spend a dime on marketing, and earn a significant living as an author.
Many of my clients come to me with different backgrounds, and it’s lots of fun to combine their gifts. The key is to utilize all of one’s expertise, experiences, and solutions in one book or series.
Here’s a client who came to me as a pilot and also with ten years of experience as a relationship consultant. We combined both his mastery as an aerobatic pilot and his relationship experience to build a coaching practice for him. His book is not only the first of a series, but one of many products that will help single women find their Mr. Right.
“I had the great privilege to work with Stella as my book coach. As I worked through the process of arriving at a completed book, she took me through her marvelous steps found within The Million Dollar Seed. I can say first hand that the information found within The Million Dollar Seed does in fact work – I’m living proof.” — Anthony Oshinuga, pilot, relationship coach, speaker, and author of Hooking Up with Mr. Right and Taking Flight
Here Are 3 Important Questions to Ask Yourself:
- How much do I want to earn every month? How much do I want to earn every year?
- What is the one thing I can do all day and never get tired? [This can include one or more of the following: public speaking, blogging, training, coaching, writing, interviewing, etc…]
- What group(s) of people am I solving a particular problem for?
Don’t buy into the old ways of thinking that you can’t make money as an author. Step into a new mindset and live your dreams!
