    Stop looking for the path to your goals before you set your...

    MINDSET 
    If you're starting from zero, money is definitely the strongest motivation! An exact sum is the best because it's countable, measurable, conceivable. A deep goal like "I want to provide jobs for others" is not specific enough. Be honest: This is just a romantic notion. I agree with you that...

    icey502's Publishing Thread

    PUBLISHING 
    @icey502 For fiction: I had no financial success with my paperbacks but the pen names with paperbacks look more professional. So paperbacks are great for the reputation and this can affect the digital sales. Moreover: When the customers see the higher price of the paperbacks in comparison to...

    I've published about 60 books so far (started in May last year; 10 non fiction books, 50 fiction books, $12k/m total income; only on Amazon). - Do you have a paperback version of your book? My non fiction paperbacks sell much better than the ebook versions. Eg. my best non fiction book makes...

    Change- Made 500,000 Sales

    PUBLISHING 
    It's better to set high goals than low goals but you have to be realistic when you set your goals. And $1 million within your fist year is absolutely unrealistic. You have no idea of the market, no experience with selfpublishing, no stats, no team in your background etc. - it's pure reverie. No...

    Mobile apps (is it an option for a new income stream?)

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    This book/app was just an example to show the possible direction. I've never said that this is the exactly way I would go because this app (just a book converted to an app) has no advantages. I would never download such an app because the existing ways (Kindle, Play books etc.) are great. But...

    Mobile apps (is it an option for a new income stream?)

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    I mean something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appmk.book.AOBTTGNI&hl=us That's not the best example because it looks very boring. But I hope you know what I mean. The possibilities of HTML5 are nice but it doesn't work in Kindle books ...but in separate apps...

    Mobile apps (is it an option for a new income stream?)

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    NON FICTION: I have several successful books in a specific health niche (+ email list, fb, twitter etc.). Everything is growing by alone. I want to create different products around this niche (more ebooks, more paperbacks, more audiobooks but also mobile apps, websites and maybe phisical...

    Mobile apps (is it an option for a new income stream?)

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    That's just a quick brainstorm: - Better layout/formatting (could be an advantage for non fiction books) - You can include audio/video or animated gifs (maybe more entertaining) - You can include a navigation bar (maybe to include facebook/twitter or just interesting information about the...

    Mobile apps (is it an option for a new income stream?)

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    Hey everyone, I've been thinking about new passiv income streams where I can use my already existing content to increase my income and to secure my existence. Are mobile apps (maybe in combination with Google AdMob) an option? I was thinking of something like a "closed reader app" just for one...

    ACX - Turning Your Book Into an Audio Book

    PUBLISHING 
    Great thread! Do you have more (new) experiences with audiobooks? My income with ebooks and paperbacks is on a great level and I want to build up a new income source to secure my existence. So my primary goal is not to increase my income (then I would keep on writing). I have enough content to...

    Thoughts on my ebook topic...

    PUBLISHING 
    This is my personal opinion. Maybe it sounds a little bit harsh but I just want to be honest with you: I think no one is interested in becoming a Division 1 Athlete. And I think no one is interested in an autobiography of an unknown person. I think you'll fail because your target audience is...

If your native language is Spanish I would also publish Spanish versions of your books. The Spanish...

    Legalize Self-Publishing!

    PUBLISHING 
    About 3 weeks before I started to write my first book I bought a tutorial about how to self puplish books on kindle. It was an A - Z guide about how to find niches and keywords, how to price a book, how to format everything and so on (the whole publishing process). I printed it out and made me...
