Nathan Barry – Authority: Complete Edition
In less than a year I’ve made over $150,000 from self-Books have been published. Plenty of my friends have made far more, all writing on topics so small and targeted a traditional publisher wouldn’t consider it. Many of them started—just like me—without an audience.
After hearing enough of these stories I can tell you they aren’t a fluke. You can also make a living teaching if you have the right topics and the right marketing techniques.
Writing a book isn’t just about the money.
Making money from book sales is wonderful—but it is only one benefit. Publishing a book can lead to many side effects, including a promotion, new jobs, or new clients.
Evernote Essentials was created by Brett Kelly out of love for the productivity tool and a desire to help others use it more effectively. Evernote offered him a job—his dream job—even before the book was published. While he is now able to work from home, he still earns six figures from his book (a side venture).
Rob Walling blogs about software and hosts a podcast that discusses startups. However, it was his book that provided opportunities for speaking engagements and interviews.
One of my first consulting jobs was when I was still working. I was on a conference call with two people from a company to decide whether or not they wanted to hire me as a designer for their new iPhone application. The call was held just after my book, The App Design Handbook had been published. The junior person on the call had also read my book and enjoyed it.
The manager wasn’t so sure about hiring me. If my design was so good, why wasn’t I working in the Bay Area?
After listening to them for about a minute, the manager finally relented and said, “Actually, of course he’s good enough, he wrote the book on the topic.”
What would you think if you could tell you how you felt? “wrote the book on the topic”? Would you consider that a career change would be beneficial?
It is difficult to write a book. It’s really difficult.
Despite all these benefits I wouldn’t want you to get the wrong idea and think writing a book is easy. It is impossible to be more wrong. What are the easy things that are worth doing?
It is possible to write a book if you just take on the huge task of writing it and make steady, slow progress each day. Writing one blog post per week was difficult when I first began writing.
Now I’ve built up a habit of writing 1,000 words a day, every day. I’ve done this for over 275 days in a row, all tracked with an app I wrote called Commit. These words have led to over 50 blog posts and three books. There have also been dozens of guest posts. It may seem daunting to write 30,000 words in a book. But if you write 500 words per week, you can reach that goal in less than two months.
To achieve any major goal, you need to make steady progress. Make a commitment to work on it every day—without skipping a day—and you will see success much sooner than you expect.
“But I’m not an expert.”
So, neither am I. Not in the traditional sense. I don’t have a PhD in marketing or design and I don’t travel the world giving lectures–all things you would typically associate with experts. However, I have created many websites and applications over the years and gained a lot from the experience.
Many people can benefit from what I have to say about design and marketing. I’m not at the top of my field, but I’m also a long ways from the bottom.
There is a good chance that you are familiar with a particular topic.
In fact, experts at the top of their field are often less qualified to teach than those who were beginners more recently, simply because those experts often can’t remember what it was like to be brand new in the field. A person who has already learned and overcame the obstacles in the field will be able to teach at a beginner’s level.
No matter your level of learning, no one knows more about the subject than you.
Every successful person I know began before they were ready. Embrace the fact that you aren’t quite comfortable and strive to become even more of an expert.
Use a proven plan
People say that “sure, this works for you, but…” There are 14 ways I can prove them wrong. We have included 14 detailed case studies from books that used the Authority method to create this digital edition. These 14 case study books have generated more than $230,000 in book sales!
And that’s just a few of the success stories that were willing to share their sales numbers with you. There are many more who either we didn’t have room to feature or they wanted to keep their numbers private.
This is all to show that the method works for anyone willing to work hard.
Start from nothing
It takes time to build a blog following. It’s especially difficult when you may not have a clear goal in mind for your blog. Products can change this.
Just the act of writing a book—and giving readers a way to follow along—will make it substantially easier to build a following. In July 2012, I had only 100 RSS subscribers. Two months later, my book was launched for $12,000. That’s all in one day. By using landing pages and blog posts to build an email list—and keeping the subscribers interested—you can build a profitable following in very little time. I’ll show you how to do it step-By-step.
You can make a living writing if you have the right audience and a solid launch strategy. Interested?
