Around 2013, I threw my hat
into the self-publishing industry, just to give it a whirl.
I never imagined the amount of success I'd realize,
then again, I couldn't even fathom the amount of time,
energy, and efforts I had to put into making it work.
Sure, I can support my family on my earnings
and still have money to spare.
Yes, I'm afforded a little more attention now
then if I would've stayed at my nine to five job,
but was it all worth it?
Absolutely.
Are my results typical?
Well.
Not too long ago, I was on a webinar hosted
by the illustrious internet marketer, Frank Kern.
There's no doubt Frank knows what he's talking about,
and appears to be ridiculously wealthy from it.
Not even five minutes into the training,
he shattered my perceptions instantaneously.
Paraphrasing him, he stated
that his results were far from typical,
and in fact most all of the people watching his training
would not be successful.
The truth of the matter he shared was
that most people wouldn't put in the time it takes
to become good at internet marketing.
Furthermore, there's no magic bullet or sure-fire hack
to an overnight victory.
This leads me to what the vast majority of people achieve
when they commit to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
Quite a few of you will make a few bucks,
and heck, you may even realize a pretty big pay day,
but within the next year or so,
you may not even be around to realize
that this business is slow burn.
You can't become an overnight success,
and the few who do are simply the unicorns of this business.
Lightning in a bottle, if you will.
Now, I'm far from being an overnight success,
nor will I make outrageous income claims,
saying I'm the second coming of E.L. James.
I'm simply sticking and staying true to who I am,
and why I got into this business in the first place.
That's what is keeping my head above the water,
paying bills, and living life on my own terms.
Can you still make money
on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing in 2017?
Making money with Kindle e-books is 100% possible,
but a deeper question bares worth and visiting.
How much money do you want to make in Kindle Publishing?
Because I can almost guarantee you
it's possible to pump out a book today,
and make a few bucks.
If you want to make more than a few bucks,
then it's going to require
a lot more time, energy, and attention.
Can you afford that?
If not, then I suggest you jump into Kindle Publishing
simply as a hobby at first.
When you get a little success, then excellent.
However, if you don't draw a single dime,
then at least you didn't quit your day job
in hopes of caviar dreams and champagne wishes
lying in the Amazon Self-Publishing platform.
That's all the time we have for today,
