making money as an author we're gonna talk about it come on hey guys it's
K-Ninja here and today we're gonna be talking about making money as an author
now a lot of people who get into publishing they get into outsourcing the
books and if they outsource all their books and they don't do any writing
themself in that case there's strictly a publisher and that's fine if that's the
model you want to follow but there's some people who actually like to write
and we're not going to get into the debates of what's the difference between
a writer and an author because that argument can go very very deep for the
sake of this video we're going to assume that the word author and the word writer
are synonymous because as far as I'm concerned if you write something and you
publish it whether you self publish or you do it
through a big publishing company you're the author of that work even if you use
a pen name now if you ghost write something for someone else and then that
other person publishes it they could argue that they're the author of the
work and that's a whole other argument and we're not going to get into that
either but what we are going to talk about is if you're writing your own
books which i think means that you are the author of those books then how can
you take that and make money with those books as the author of those books now
you could sell the rights of your books to a publishing company which means you
would get fast cash and they would take the total rights to your book and
publish it and make money for it which is essentially the same as being a
ghostwriter and it's kind of the worst deal you can get for your writing
possible so I wouldn't recommend doing that now you could sign a deal with a
big publishing company where they're going to pay you royalties but in that
case they'll take the largest cut of the profits and your royalties will actually
be very small so I wouldn't recommend doing that either so what you're left
with is the option to self publish and I'd say self-publishing is actually
the best way to go it will put the most money in your pocket you want to self
publish your book especially if you wrote it because you can publish as a
publisher and you don't have to pay money for a writer because you are the
writer you are the author now a lot of people think that they can just write in
any area that they want they think I'm passionate about this subject so I can
write a good book on this subject so I'm gonna write about this and that's
actually totally the wrong way to be doing things it's really good if you
have a passion about something but it doesn't mean that it's something that
you want to be writing about because just being passionate about something
doesn't necessarily mean that that thing will sell rather what you need to be
doing is to do keyword research on topics that you think you could write
about and you need to determine if those keywords are profitable and if they're
not profitable you might want to consider writing in a different area so
how do we determine if a keyword is profitable well that's actually one of
the trickiest points to publishing now you might find a keyword and determined
that it's a profitable keyword but if there's a ton of competitors going for
that same keyword it's going to be hard to actually make a profit publishing a
book under that keyword now if I lost some of you and you have no idea where
the key word is then let me break it down for you so when someone is looking
for a book that they want to read where did they go they probably go to
amazon.com and what do they do well if they're interested in a mystery
book they're going to go to the Amazon search bar and they're probably going to
type in the words mystery book I'm not saying that mystery book is a good
keyword but what I am saying that what people type into the Amazon
search bar are what key words are and if you want to make money as an author you
have to figure out which keywords are profitable in niches where you can write
books in because if you're writing books in areas that no one is searching for
you're not going to make money with that now I publish a nonfiction and fiction
and it's basically my full-time income so I think I know profitable keywords
really really well that's not to say that I know every profitable keyword out
there because let's face it keywords are words and do I know every word out there
no I don't do I even know every niche out there that someone can write a book
it probably not no I don't but there is a very basic formula that you want to
use to determine if your keywords are profitable it takes some time it takes a
bit of research but once you've found an area with profitable keywords that you
can write in and you start pumping out books in that area that's when you're
going to start seeing real money from your writing now that's not to say that
there isn't other things that you need to do because there's actually a lot of
other things that you need to do keywords isn't the only thing but it is
a necessary thing and actually the act of finding the right keywords can take
more time than the act of actually writing the book but the good news is
that once you find the right keywords you can put out a lot of books in that
area and you're gonna be good for a long time to come maybe even for life so it
is worth the effort to research this now getting into how to find profitable
keywords in this video would just make this into a really really long video but
I do have a course that gets into it in nonfiction and in fiction and you can
find the link in the description now my course is actually about
making money self-publishing so the focus is on making money and I know for
a lot of you author types your focus is on your writing and that's good because
good writing means a good quality book and that's part of the equation you have
to have a good quality book without saying but if you want your writing to
be job replacing you have to get serious about the business aspect of things
because any author making money understands what they're doing with the
business aspect of things true if you're famous and you already have a huge
following or you're already some big author then you can just deal with the
publishing company and they'll take care of everything and you just write but as
a small-time author that's probably not going to work out so well for you
because it's going to take you time to build the following and you can't even
begin to build the following if your book can't even get to a place where it
can be seen by real people so you need some sort of strategy for this how do I
know this stuff while I'm launching multiple books every month and I'm
making a full-time income as a publisher I also have a lot of friends that are
authors that I see doing things the wrong way and they're launching good
quality books but their books fail to sell and sink to the depths of the
Amazon store never to be seen or heard from again one of my author friends has
been writing and self-publishing for 15 years releasing tons of books and while
the books are great quality every single one of them has failed as for me every
time I launch a book I know that book is going to be successful I know when
someone searches for a keyword to find one of my books they're going to be able
to find it easily because my books stick at the talk of what people are searching
for if I didn't know what I was doing I wouldn't be able to earn a
full-time income doing this so trust me on this guys you've got to get the
business aspect of this thing down the reality as far as making money as an
author is that most authors fail in this area they don't do what's necessary to
be able to make money and so they don't make money or they just don't know what
they're doing a lot of authors I know think that's just the way it works it
takes time it takes you five years ten years 20 years before you can become a
big author before writing can pay your bills and I'm sorry but that's just not
the case you can do it right now if you just take the time to learn a little bit
about how the business aspect of things work even if you cut a deal with a big
publishing company they're just not going to give the attention towards
marketing your book as what you can do yourself because if my income is on the
line I'm gonna figure out how to make my book sell and that's why a
self-published author can do a much better job in a big publishing company
plus you get to keep a hundred percent of the cut now if you want to know how
much money I make self-publishing I have a video about it and you can find it in
the card up here making money as an author you basically have to wear two
hats on the one you gotta wear the hat of a savvy publisher you are Big Shot
mister publisher you got to consider your keywords you got to think about if
you have a standout cover you have to analyze your competition you got to
figure out how to gather reviews you have to think about if your description
is enticing enough or if your cover is standout enough you have to figure out
how to gather reviews for your books and you have little problem doing any of
that because you're mr. publisher doing those little things are nothing to you
you're a mr. bigshot publisher but yeah then there's the other side
you're a big-shot best-selling author and so you're better than everyone else
because who are all these other people anyway they're not bigshot best-selling
authors like you that's for sure anyway as far as making money as an author
that's all I've got to say on the topic but if you're into self-publishing at
all or thinking about self-publishing hit that subscribe button because that's
all this channel talks about and make sure you hit the little bell so you get
