Published and Paid®: The Podcast

The Truth About Self-Publishing in 2025

Listen Later

In this episode of the Published and Paid® podcast, I returned from a brief break to kick off an exciting new year with big changes! I dive deep into redefining what self-publishing truly means. Drawing from my decade of experience working with over 1,000 authors and being recognized as an authority in the self-publishing space, I share why self-publishing is about much more than just producing a book—it's about publishing a new version of yourself.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

  • Why I'm expanding the podcast to include twice-weekly episodes and hot seat coaching opportunities
  • My fresh perspective on self-publishing that goes beyond just creating books
  • How the journey of publishing transforms you into a completely different person
  • The real reason most self-published authors fail to monetize their books effectively
  • Why investing in yourself is crucial for evolving into your next-level identity
  • My approach to turning one book into a seven-figure business through speaking, coaching, and events

    • Key Quotes from the Episode

    • "Self-publishing means to publish yourself. To publish the next version of you."
    • "When you write your thought leadership book, you are literally writing the vision and making it plain for someone who needs it so they can run with it." 
    • "I’ve been able to turn one book into over $1 million generated in my business. You can do the same by strategically monetizing your book."
    • "This season, we’re diving into identity elevation—not just from the writing standpoint, but from business development, personal growth, faith, and family. You can become that person every single day." 
    • "There’s constant learning, growth, evolution, and elevation. Every time I help someone else, I elevate myself, too."
