best seller

Welcome back to the Rebel Maker! In this episode, we’re encouraging rebellious thinking and rebellious behavior in authors across the globe. Enough of this nonsense of constantly writing books to make money and stay visible as an author.
We’re taking a smarter and more sustainable approach. We’re looking at your backlist and finding new creative ways to promote and sell the books you already have.
And to dive deep into that I invited USAT best-selling author of Science Fiction, Jill Cooper. Jill is married to New York Times Best-Selling author, Malorie Cooper. Together, they started The Writing Wives, a community for indie authors who want to sell more books with their existing catalogs and get off the rat race of constantly writing and releasing. 

In this episode:

• [03:41] Hitting a bestseller list as a self-published author
• [08:10] Why writing is just a fraction of the work of publishing a book
• [11:40] Kickstarter: The way of the future for authors
• [15:39] Your Backlist: Selling the books you have instead of writing more books
• [18:17] Stop cranking out books and do this instead to sell more and write less
• [23:27] How Writing Wives helps authors sell more books
• [25:13] Should you buy Facebook Ads for your books?
• [30:14] Book Recommendation: The most life-changing book Jill has read
• [31:45] Writing advice: Jill’s best piece of writing advice

Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“How to grow income on words we've already written? Once we learned how to do that, I thought that more authors should learn how to do that. They should learn how to promote their backlist so they don't have to feel the pressure to write a book every month.”

Amy Dix is a two-time international best-selling author. She’s also a sought-after keynote speaker, professional artist, founder of Authority Speakers Agency, and one of the happiest people I’ve ever met! Before she became the queen of speaking, Amy wrote a business-focused book that allowed her to see the business side of what a speaking career had to offer. Then, she wrote a more motivational book which helped her see the full picture. This session is all about the secrets of best sellers and here, Amy and I get into how authors can make the transition into speaking gigs.

Amy shares tips on which comes first: your book or speaking opportunities. It all depends on where your passions are, so if speaking lights you up, you don’t have to wait until you’re published. Once your book is finished, you can use that as leverage to gain credibility in your niche and book more events. You can also sell copies of your book at events in a number of different ways. Amy and I discuss how to speak at different stages, who to contact if you want to start speaking, and how virtual summits can help you find your audience.

What’s Inside:

• Why you shouldn’t wait until your book is done to pursue speaking gigs.
• How to leverage your book to land more speaking opportunities.
• How to use virtual summits to gain experience and find your audience.

We're back to talking about depression but from a lighter perspective. Who would have guessed that one of the worst period of your life could actually be a blessing in disguise? That's what I realized when I went through my own depression a few years back which eventually brought me to this path of awareness and this conscious lifestyle. That's also what - New York Times best seller author, recurring Oprah show guest, and the man who spent decades interviewing over 100 of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time to get their take on how to live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life (including the Dalai Lama, Byron Katie, Oprah, Deepak Chopra, the late Mother Teresa, and Ram Dass) - Jonathan Robinson is writing about in this latest book "The Enlightenment project: How I went from depressed to blessed and you can too." In this episode, we discuss his 14th book, in which he shares over 50 spiritual methods and philosophies that really worked to overcome his depression and provided him with lasting inner peace - from mindfulness and depression to communication and personal transformation.

Today, I want to talk to you about what I call the “bittersweet symphony. I went to visit my parents in December 2016, fired up my laptop, and found that my first book hit bestseller. It took ten or eleven months of work, self-editing, writing, and more and I made it! I had multiple books in my mind ready to go, and I envisioned bringing in more and more passive income.

But the bittersweet part of the story is, about three weeks later, I checked my royalties, and my heart sank. What I thought was going to be a major amount turned out to be much, much less. If you’ve had a similar experience, you’re not alone. Your book could play any number of roles in your life and business and there are so many ways to earn money. Writing your book is just the beginning of your journey.

What’s Inside:

• Why your book launch is just the beginning of your journey.
• Why you shouldn’t be disappointed in making fewer royalties than you expected.

Daniel Hall is a WSJ and USA Today best-selling author who has extensive knowledge on generating income from public domain works. Daniel started his career by going to nursing school, then law school, but always had a passion for writing and publishing. After becoming unhappy with his law career, he wrote his first book. It became very successful and he was able to learn the whole business of publishing from that experience. Today, Daniel loves working with authors and content creators and his own story prove you can start from anywhere.

Authors are always looking for ways to make money beyond royalties from their original books. Today, using public domain works is a hot topic, but there’s not a lot of clarity around it. Daniel gives us all the details on what public domain content is and isn’t. He also shows how you can repurpose the content and monetize it. One of the most lucrative areas of the public domain with the most opportunity is content created by the US government. Almost everything they put out is up for grabs and covers just about every niche you can think of. The public domain also goes beyond writing. It exists within audio, video, art, music, and so much more. It’s a treasure trove of content on almost every topic. Being a successful author is all about creating quality content for your audience. When you dive into the world of the public domain, the possibilities are endless.

Make sure to check out Daniel’s Federal Green course on how to make public domain content work for you by clicking the link below.

What’s Inside:

• What public domain is and how you can use it to generate passive income.
• How you can use content created by the US Federal government.
• How to know if something is in the public domain.

Derek Doepker went from being a valet driver to a best-selling author. He successfully sold 75,000 books using free or low-cost marketing strategies and he now helps others do the same through workshops, coaching, and retreats. Derek started out with no business or marketing background and a degree in music. After moving to LA, he became a valet driver and started blogging and making content for YouTube about his true passion - fitness. His first attempt at writing and selling a book didn’t go as well as he’d hoped (he sold two books)  but Derek continued to study different strategies and got a mentor. Refusing to stop where many hopeful authors throw in the towel, he published the third book and became a number one bestseller in the weight loss category. Since 2013, Derek has been working with authors to help them create their own winning strategies while writing more books along the way. 

Derek first got into audiobooks after he realized that many of his potential readers preferred that way of consumption. It’s difficult to convince someone to consume a book or any other type of information in a way they don’t prefer, and he realized that offering audio along with eBooks and traditional print was to his advantage. With today’s technology, you can create your own audiobooks without breaking the bank. If you don’t have the time or prefer to have someone else record your book for you, there are many places that allow you to outsource. There are also many ways to sell audiobooks. Selling them on a site where you only get paid the royalties may not make you as much money as selling them directly on your website. When you have full control over sales, you can bundle an audiobook together with other products, offer discounts, and wind up making more.

Creating an audiobook is leveraging material you already have that adds in a whole new revenue stream. It also allows you to capture a different market segment. Your goal is always to create raving fans of your material and keep them for life. Before writing a new book, take full advantage of monetization by making an audiobook. 

What’s Inside:

• Why you should offer an audio version of your book.
• How you can record and create an audiobook on your own.
• How to sell your audiobook through different channels.

Paul Brodie is the author of 18 best-selling books and is an expert on getting published. Through his company, he’s helped launch 49 books for other authors, getting them to bestseller status as well. He’s all about figuring out how to leverage a book and move onto the next level. Creating a foundation around your story helps you build a successful business and elevates you as an authority figure in your niche. Paul started out by writing his own book about his health journey and it changed his life in so many ways. He created a marketing system that got his book to bestseller and inspired him to keep going.

After attending a virtual summit about publishing, Paul bought the premium pass so he could have access to all the content afterward. He learned enough to start building a system on his own and after his own process of testing, implementing, and adjusting, he came up with something that worked. He’s studied over 300 categories of books over the last 5 years and the data is constantly changing. Things adjust and evolve over time and being flexible with your process is the key to hacking algorithms and hitting bestseller status.

Working with people who have a proven system and know what their core values are can really elevate you to the next level in the publishing space. You only have one chance to make a first impression, so you might as well do it right. You are your brand, and your brand is you – communicating your brand clearly is essential and it’s the key to building a successful empire. Being genuine and keeping it real while still being an authority in your niche is magnetizing.

Make sure to head over to Paul’s website linked below to learn more and get a free copy of his book.

What’s Inside:

• How Paul sharing his personal story turned into building an entire company.
• How to structure your book and write it with ease.
• Why it’s important to constantly adjust and evolve when working with systems.

No one likes to talk about suicide. It makes us uncomfortable and feel exposed; we feel like we have a giant spotlight on us telling us to talk about our own experiences with suicidal ideation.

What good does it do when these conversations are usually brought up before, during, or after someone’s own struggle with suicidal ideation?

In this episode, Romig will encourage you that you aren’t alone in your struggle, how to find reasons to live, how to manage suicidal ideations, and much more The only way to eliminate the stigma around suicide is to stop deflecting and start talking.
