Episode 5: Why Writing One Novel Won’t Help You

Welcome to the Author Revolution Podcast, Episode 5.

What are your goals as an author? If being profitable is one of them, you’ll definitely want to pay attention.

About This Podcast:

As an international bestselling author, indie author coach, and president of the Lakes Area Writers Alliance, there is nothing better than writing, reading, publishing – or talking about all of the above. I’ve been in the indie author space since 2010, but in the world of books and publishing for much longer. So, when I say that the industry and publishing world has changed, I don’t say it lightly.

However, I my hope for you through listening to this podcast is that you find actionable tips and tricks that will help you on your indie author journey. Self-publishing is not for the faint of heart, my friend, but I can tell you – you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll be right here, cheering you on every step of the way.

This podcast is going to take you behind the scenes of all aspects of writing, publishing, and marketing your novels. We’ll dive into a lot of strategies that are new – maybe some you’ve never even heard of. And I’ll even be giving you a behind the scenes look as I attempt to do the very thing I will be teaching the most this year – rapid releasing a series.

What we cover in this episode:

In today’s episode, I talk about why writing a single novel won’t make you a profitable author, and what you need to be thinking about instead. That includes having a profitable author mindset and planning ahead for more books. Writing and publishing faster means keeping your eye on three important aspects:

1. Genre
2. Timing
3. Backlist
