Chris Guillebeau on Book Publishing Myths and “Born for This” (GPP34)

E34_TGPP_square_final

Book publishing has become a market that is sometimes overlooked. Many people believe the misconception that book publishing is simply not very profitable – not to mention a lot of work! This lead me to wonder exactly how much work is involved in writing and publishing a book and how much can an author make?

I sat down with Chris Guillebeau and asked him some hard questions about his business. He shared with me how he gets paid through multiple streams of income, attributing 50% of his income to writing and publishing books. He explains what he does during the pre-launch period of publishing his books as well as how book tours can help authors improve audience awareness and increase sales. I also get a sneak-peek explanation about his newly released book: Born For This.
