The Career Author Podcast

Authors Services as a Revenue Stream

Selling only fiction is tough. In fact, only a small percentage of authors (both traditional and indie) make a full-time living solely from fiction. Therefore, you need to think more like a business person if you want to be happily self-employed. In response to a listener question, J. and Zach break down the different ways you can create author services that can function as additional revenue streams and keep you happily self-employed.

The Career Author Podcast is a podcast where co-authors J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon share their struggles and successes as full-time authors, advice for improving your writing craft, and honest discussions of what it takes to build a successful career as an author.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The need for your “special sauce” and why niching down is critical
• Types of services you can offer that serve the writing and publishing community
• The channels you can use to build a client base
• How to balance your time between writing and working on your business

Also, J. explains why Kindle Highlights can change the way you research and learn.
