Do best-selling authors become millionaires? How can a writer make money outside of selling books?

In this episode, I want to talk about this false belief society has instilled into the public mind about writers not being able to make money. I know millionaire writers, which proves that you can earn a generous amount of income practicing this art. However, you have to look beyond publishing and be willing to establish a long-lasting relationship with your readers. Stick around until the end of this episode, as I share the different ways you can boost your income, credibility, and influence in the world as a writer!
