Well Ive been inspired and have decided to try a little hustle with the hope that I can pick up the pace so that more income flows in. I'm already involved in property and it does supply a nice steady income at the moment. Thats not through skill but more because mortgage interest rates have been at a record low for ages now here in the UK. I'm not complaining as its enabled be to build up some reserve. I also still have a job but with these 2 income streams I'm still on the get rich slow path. It is happening but I'm 43 years old now and I dont want to wait until I cant enjoy it.
So I've been inspired by a lot of the posts and have decided to dip my toe in the water with the kindle how to publishing market. I'm approaching it as part of a 3 pronged attack in that
(1) I've started writing a series of how to books with knowledge that I've picked up over the years. 2 of the books will be straight forward and the 3rd I will need to flesh out and so I will require more research for that one. All books will compliment each other and I'd expect a person to eventually buy all three if they liked the first book they read
(2) I will have a website with more value added articles and a monthly subscription service for a high value digital item
(3) There will also be another website which will be my affiliate earner. Both websites will be linked in that the user of one will most likely want to go to the other.
So my 3 prongs are all interlinked and will be targeting the same market. They are are all relevant for someone looking for this type of information and I'd fully expect all 3 prongs to be of use to the same customer. I've never built a webite or done any form of online marketing before so its going to be a steep learning curve. However I know once Ive learnt the basics I can rinse and repeat in the future for more online businesses. I've commited to writing for an hour each morning and Ive already completed about 75% of my first book and 30% of my second book.
I'm about 25% finished on my first website as this seems slow as I'm constantly having to go on youtube to get instructions on how to do something. I could outsource this however I want to know how to do something first before I even think of outsourcing. I'm hoping that by 1st Jan 2017 I will be able to launch both websites and my first book. I will sell all 3 books on my website and then gradually release book 2 and 3 onto maazon kindle as well. This isnt set in stone and I'll probably do more research into how I will stage release the books.
Now I realise probably every man and his dog is publishing on amazon kindle but I'm of the mindset that as long as I'm pushing along on a path then other more profitable avenues will open up!
