Fiction and nonfiction book sales are like horses and zebras. They look kind of alike, and their related in their DNA, but they ain’t nothin’ alike.
I don’t bother trying to sell my nonfiction. It should be an enticement to something bigger. Let’s say you self-publish a nonfic ebook and make $15 every time you sell a copy. You sell 1,000 and you’ll get $15k. BTW, unless you’re a name, you’re not going to sell 1,000 copies at a price that will net you $15 each.
If you want people to think of you a certain way, you have to look that certain way.
Value is something you give, not something you sell. Find something that will add value to a person’s life, and they will buy from you.
The sooner you quit spinning your tires and get traction, the faster you’ll start moving towards success.
“Cost” and “price” are not the same things.
The line between evil and good is thinner than the sharpest blade.
You can call them good habits and bad habits, but better terms are habits of success and habits of failure.
Work is hard, but success is sexy.
However menial and trivial your assignments may appear, give them your best efforts.
Do not try to do it all yourself.
