Between 2016 and 2019, novelist Sheri Cobb South saw her writing income go from less than $5,000 a year to just under six figures. How did she do it? More importantly, can you do it, too?
From “Things you can do for free” up to “Things you can do for $2,000 or more,” from formatting your ebook as a paperback to estimating the cost of producing an audiobook, this eminently readable guide will help you get the most out of your promotional dollars as you start out small and set up multiple income streams as your writing income grows.
There's some good ideas in here but some are so expensive that unless in these 3 years you get yourself a runaway bestseller, most indie authors cannot afford them in that timespan. Like foreign translations or hiring your own audio narrators. Most bestselling authors are only doing that NOW for their careers and it took them longer than 3 years to afford.
So indies, don't feel pressured by anything in here.
As an unpublished author reading this book has helped me understand the various ways I can get my book out to the masses. I will refer back to to this book when the time comes to publish.
