Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGWell, fiction is totally new to me but I want to break into it to see whether I can scale things up in my book biz. Right now I have one freelancer working on a 7000 word story. That is actually not enough going by all the reviews in my chosen niche but at the moment it is all I am prepared to...- Empire

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGUpdate: So I have interviewed a bunch of freelancers to write for me and sifted through all the bad apples. I am now left with 5 writers I think would do a good job for me. The thing is, now I am considering hiring them all to test them out and see which of their writing stands out the most...- Empire

Self Publishing Till Freedom
EXECUTIONThat is the very target I am also aiming for. I have a number of titles in health and fitness and they do bring a regular trickle of passive income due to being evergreen niches but I find it really difficult to get a hit seller in that market these days.- Empire

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGHi there! Yep...I understood, way back in 2012, that this was going to be as close as possible to a passive online income for me. I had more success back then and last year I was out of the picture for a bit but even so I STILL had sales coming in. This is why this year I am attacking this full...- Empire

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGHey SinisterLex, That is great advice! I have never used the option to go to "hourly rate" before.....maybe I should start trying that out. Over the years I have only used Elance but I think I need to try another source because the proposals tend to be higher. I read one of your older threads...- Empire

Giving everything I've got into ebook publishing
EXECUTIONYeh this is such a cool thread! I really needed to see this because I started self-publishing back in 2012 but never really scaled it properly. Now, this year I am back with a vengence and just like you I have decided to attack the fiction market in pretty much the same genre as you. I started...- Empire

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGUpdate: Yesterday I put up an ad in Elance to find myself a ghostwriter. So far the response has not been that great. I am guessing it may have something to do with my budget being too low. The thing is, I don't want to be paying too much for a writer at this early stage because I am not sure...- Empire

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGRight...after a while researching Amazon I've decided on one of the niches I am going to work with. I think to start with I will be outsourcing for this particular niche or sub-niche.

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGHey! I checked out your website....how are your "for kids" books doing? I don't see any on Amazon? So far I have only focused on non-fiction. I always knew the big money was in fiction but I am by no means a good writer at all and outsourcing would just have cost me too much at the start of my...- Empire

Self-Publishing Road To 4 Figures A Month
PUBLISHINGGood stuff. I also had to write my own non-fiction books at the start but as soon as they started making money I re-invested the money and used it to pay outsourcers. This year I hope to have at least 50% or more of my book business outsourced.....the writing that is, not the other stuff. I...- Empire
