The publishing industry isn't what it was a year ago. Or 6 years ago. Or when Sharon Woodhouse started in publishing over 30 years ago.
It's better.
Because now? Those industry "gatekeepers" are sweating. Big publishers are scrambling to figure out their business models. And authors who think like entrepreneurs are making more money than ever.
In this episode, Sharon breaks down what she's learned from 30+ years of watching authors succeed (and fail) at building sustainable businesses around their books.
You'll hear:
• The daily habit that actually sells books (most authors hate it - but it works)
• Why the "messy middle" of publishing is your biggest opportunity
• A dead-simple framework for knowing if your marketing is actually worth your time
• The "defensive entrepreneurship" strategy that turns your book into reliable revenue
Plus, Sharon shares why she's giving herself exactly one year to prove her own methodology works - or she's leaving publishing forever. (Yeah, she went there.)
Sharon's new book "The Profitable Author: 1001 Ways to Build a Business You Love Around Your Books" is available now at profitableauthorbook.com
