I see these come up ALL the time, and honestly, they’re the reason so many people never get started (or quit too early). Let’s clear a few things up 👇 1. “You need to be a good writer to publish a book” - Nope. There are so many types of books you can create...journals, coloring books, workbooks—and even if you do want to write, you can use AI to support the process. The real skill is choosing the right topic… not being a perfect writer. 2. “Amazon is too saturated” - Amazon is busy because people are BUYING. The issue isn’t saturation—it’s going after the wrong keywords. When you learn how to find gaps in the market, you’ll see there’s still a lot of opportunity. 3. “You need ads to make sales.” Ads are optional, not required. If your book is positioned well with the right keywords, title, and categories, it can sell organically. Ads just help you scale faster once you already have a solid foundation. 4. “You only make money from book sales”...Your book is just the beginning. It can lead to coaching, courses, communities, speaking opportunities, and more. That $15 book can turn into much bigger opportunities if you set it up the right way. 5. “You need to publish a lot of books to make money” It’s not about volume—it’s about strategy. One well-positioned book can outperform dozens of random ones. Focus on quality, research, and positioning first. If you’ve been holding back because of any of these… consider this your sign to move forward. Which one surprised you the most? 👇

I spent most of this weekend in full hustle mode trying to gather all my tax documents together. Let’s just say my bookkeeping skills are… not exactly my strongest area. 😅 But I did something new that actually helped a lot. I used Notebook LM for the first time to upload all of my bank statements and credit card statements and turn everything into a master spreadsheet so I could start itemizing my expenses. Honestly, I feel like @Bradley Deacon and @Gemma Coles would be proud of my AI progress… working smarter, not harder. But the real reason I’m sharing this is an important reminder: If you’re publishing and selling books on Amazon, this is a business. Amazon will send you a 1099, so if you sold books last year you’ll want to make sure you’re looking out for that when doing your taxes. And if you’re just getting started this year, it’s something good to be mindful of early. The cool part of doing all this paperwork though was looking back at the numbers and seeing the growth. To be transparent, last year I earned roughly: • $28K from Audible • $25K from Amazon KDP • About $12K from TikTok Shop sales So the question is… Can you actually make money from self-publishing? I’ll let you be the judge. 👀📚
