It's all laid bare right here,
folks.
First: most books, particularly nonfiction, are a sales disaster. The overwhelming majority sell fewer than 2000 copies, and many sell far fewer than that.
The typical royalty schedule works like this:
Ten percent of the hardcover price for the first 5000 sold, 12.5 percent for the second 5000, and 15 percent on all sales after that.
Not as much as you thought, is it?
On the other hand, a traditional publisher has a marketing arm that can open doors for you,
right?
Yes and no.
Most publishers will choose a small sliver of their titles to promote heavily. The rest are left hanging out to dry. In that situation you may as well have self-published your book.
And you'd be earning much higher royalties. The Kindle edition of my 2014 book Real Dissent -- my favorite among my books, by the way -- earns me about a 70 percent royalty, and the paperback and audiobook versions ain't too shabby, either.
For reasons like these, more and more people are interested in self-publishing. Perhaps you yourself are. And surely people in
your audience -- whether your blog audience, your social media audience, or whatever -- are, whether you realize it or not.
But there's a lot involved: the initial idea, the layout, the cover, the preparation for various outlets, the launch, the marketing, etc.
Now you could spend 500 years figuring
all that out, or you could just get Kevin Fahey's very inexpensive checklists and video training.
He's even giving you the right to sell this product to your followers and keep all the profits, or to break the product into individual pieces you can give away in exchange for email addresses, thereby building your email list -- which in online business is by far your most valuable
asset.
What's the catch?
There ain't no catch.
But in 48 hours the price goes up by over 60%, so now's the time:
