Could you make $100,000/month writing your own self-published books or e-books?

As avid self-publishers ourselves and teachers to many others through Information Marketer’sZone – we know that it is possible, but that many people will never reach anything near these results…we’re going to share why below.

But first, watch this incredible video of how this Michigan couple have become the latest self-publishing rockstars…

 

What Would It Take For You To Duplicate Their Success?

There are a couple of very important points to “how” this overnight success happened and what it would take to duplicate it (which I personally believe very few people are really willing to do…)

1. Massively motivated…way too many people I talk with “want” to write a book or become a writer, but they don’t have anywhere near the pain or ugency this couple had

2. Looked at what was already working…subtle point, but the days that this couple spent scouring the top sellers gave them valuable insights into patterns, trends, genres, on what was already leading the top sellers list.   Had they ignored this step, they may have wasted months of writing before they figured out what they were writing wasn’t selling.  She then wrote her first book using a leading seller formula that was “like XYZ but with her own twist”) Following the money trail is critical.

3. Extreme Action — 20 titles in 6-months, most days not even taking a shower is over and above what 99.9% of people are willing to do…yet this level of obsession is often the trait of any successful entrepreneur (the stories of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates spending night after night in their offices are well published).

4. Don’t Stop – Keep The Ball Rolling — even when they quickly achieved an income level to pay their bills, they remained as obsessed.  This is critical, it was after they had achieved their immediate needs that they hit it big with their #1 bestseller which is how they went to 1 Million ebooks and achieved their current $100K/month level.  Again, most people would have stopped when they achieved enough to pay their bills and get out of debt.

In short, I’m convinced that anyone could replicate their success – even eclipse it by varying their self-publishing approach (away from Kindle) if they were willing to follow the 4 steps above…but my experience shows there are very few people that will.
