Authority: Become an Expert, Build a Following, and Gain Financial Independence

by Nathan Barry

The idea that authors can't make money is 100% false... And no, you don't have to famous or have a huge online following. In less than one calendar year, Nathan Barry made over $150k by independently publishing three books he wrote himself. Thousands of people across the globe are making and profiting even more; all writing on topics so targeted a traditional publisher would likely throw out the concept saying it had too narrow of an audience. With a good subject and the right marketing tactics, you can make a living from storytelling and teaching through independent publishing. Making money from book sales is wonderful--but it's just the beginning. Getting a raise, landing a new job, and having new clients seeking your services are all common side effects of publishing a book.
