Inside this blog, I am going to share my thoughts on self-publishing.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what we know&#8230; \u00a0with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of businesses around the world are suffering.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is one market that continues to expand at an ever-rapid pace &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/publishing-on-amazon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon book publishing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a competitive market, the question remains as to whether or not Kindle publishing is an opportunity worth pursuing.<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading to find out what my answer is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JW2wtcTSSZ8&list=PLKJ25w4dqh7-vCSk5k0w1casUw7bYrBat&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>(Click here to watch on YouTube)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[smart_track_player url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/9299\/8114993-plm-850-kindle-publishing-is-it-even-worth-it-in-2021.mp3&#8243; background=&#8221;default&#8221; ]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-project-life-mastery-podcast\/id601690632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/subscribe-with-itunes-button-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"68\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How would your life change if you were able to create a $10,000 per month Amazon book publishing business? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masteringbookpublishing.com\/free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to get instant access to my FREE book publishing video training!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Kindle publishing a profitable business model?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Well, it depends. Your success with an Amazon book publishing business depends on two things &#8211; you and your goals. Before you dive into this business model, I encourage you to take a step back and assess what your goals are.<\/p>\n<p>If you are someone who loves to write, Kindle publishing is a great opportunity for you to pursue. Writing books is a powerful way to share your message with the world.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit of publishing books on Amazon is that you get to leverage Amazon's platform. Self-publishing is a <a href=\"https:\/\/financialpost.com\/personal-finance\/business-essentials\/publishing-is-a-26-billion-industry-with-self-publishing-growing-as-a-popular-side-hustle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26 million dollar industry<\/a>, which has made it a very popular way for people to make money online. The demand is there.<\/p>\n<h4 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><strong>Is Kindle publishing the best way to become financially free?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The short answer is no. The challenge with making a lot of money publishing books on Amazon is that you are selling low-ticket products. A Kindle eBook sells for anywhere between $2.99-$9.99, while a paperback book sells for up to $20.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">To make over $100,000 per year, you would need to sell A LOT of books. For this reason alone, it's not easy to scale your business to 6-7 figures. I don't know many <a href=\"https:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/how-to-self-publish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-publishers<\/a> who have been able to accomplish that.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If you have more money to invest, I encourage you to upgrade to more scaleable business models, like doing affiliate marketing, dropshipping, or selling physical products on Amazon.<\/p>\n<h4 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><strong>Are you looking to gain experience but don't have a lot of money to invest?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If this is you, Kindle publishing is an excellent opportunity! It is a newbie-friendly and fairly inexpensive business model. There aren't a lot of business models that you can start for less than $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it doesn't take a lot of time to <a href=\"https:\/\/24hourbook.com\/24hr-go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">write a book<\/a>, and it can be available for purchase on Amazon's platform within 24 hours from the time you hit publish. Even better, the skills that you learn through being a self-publisher will benefit you if you decide to pursue another business model.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Are you looking to generate leads for your business?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Inside my course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masteringbookpublishing.com\/join-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mastering Book Publishing<\/a>, I teach people how to use their Amazon books to generate leads and build their email lists. This opens up a lot more doors for you to make money on the backend.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the Internet marketing community, it's not uncommon to see a &#8220;free plus shipping&#8221; offer. This is when people give a product away to customers for free, and only charge them for shipping costs.<\/p>\n<p>If they capture a lead, they can make more money on the backend through an upsell, an affiliate offer, or a physical product.<\/p>\n<p>A book can also be used as a way to build credibility and authority in your niche. A lot of people use their book as a business card and give it away for free to people. A book can be a great tool for building relationships with people.<\/p>\n<p>Publishing a book is not enough. For people to know that your book exists, you have to market it. This is why I created a course called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masteringbookmarketing.com\/go-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mastering Book Marketing<\/a>, which teaches you my step-by-step system for how to market and sell more books on Amazon.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is Kindle publishing best for YOU?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you believe in it, then do it! The Amazon opportunity is great, but it's not for everybody. People have different goals and desires.<\/p>\n<p>If you're still not sure which online business model is best suited for you, I encourage you to take my free 60-second <a href=\"https:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business quiz<\/a> that will help put you in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever business model you decide to pursue, commit to going all-in and trust that you have what it takes to succeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would your life change if you were able to create a $10,000 per month Amazon book publishing business? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masteringbookpublishing.com\/free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to get instant access to my FREE book publishing video training!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon has made it possible for anyone to be a self-publisher.
