#010 Leveraging Amazon to Create A Publishing Juggernaut with Steve Scott

It used to be quite the ordeal to get a book published. From actually producing valuable content to share with the world to finding the right publisher to buy into it, edit it, and release it, the process could take well north of a year and usually end up with a diluted version of the author’s initial work. Nowadays, there are untold numbers of online publishing channels that allow anyone to share their work with the digiverse, build a loyal following, and reap some financial benefits.

Having said that, there is an art and science to making a fulfilling and flourishing career as a self-published author. Steve Scott can attest to this, as he notes it took a considerable amount of learning and a unique marketing strategy to shine in the world of Kindle publishing.

In the past few years alone, Steve has self-published dozens of Kindle books through Amazon, including on topics like how to master Evernote, small habit changes that can improve your day-to-day, and the keys to starting a blog in less than an hour. It’s clear Steve has lots to say on a wide range of subjects, and thanks to Amazon, he’s made his voice heard and even created a significant business dispensing his words of wisdom through the online retail giant’s service.

Steve’s “a-ha” moment that led to him discovering the untapped potential of this publishing platform has helped him continue his passion of disbursing his vast knowledge and even pick up some marketing skills he never dreamed he’d acquire. It’s certainly a business model few can say they thrive in, and yet, he makes it look so easy.
