Pathless is the way11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() I want to help others make sense of this and don't really want to build a business or make money doing it. ![]() I'm actually trying to lean into using my experience to inspire others to write and create books. The topic, of reimagining our relationship with work, is still resonant to me and exciting to explore. I don't really know what comes "next" - I'm going to continue sharing the ideas that I liked writing about in the book in my podcast and newsletter. This is different compared to self-publishing as you earn money every month you sell a book and get paid that month. She still hasn't "earned" out her advance, meaning she won't get royalty checks until she does. The BEST example I could find was from Jenny Blake who did an amazing podcast sharing all her information. I did a tweet thread comparing the two but most people are interested in the royalty information. You should pick the one that is aligned with the way you like to make a living and create in the world. In deciding not to sell the book I thought a lot about the comparison between the two modes of publishing and I think the key thing is: THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAMES. But I'm still surprised that it's about $5-6 a book and $4 per audiobook. I you adjust for two periods where Amazon nominated my book for Kindle sales (they adjust the price for a month and promote it more), my average price per book is probably closer to $6. I see it as a way as making money not using it as a "business card" as they tell you to think about it in the publishing world. I like writing and want to self-publish and write more on my own. I asked myself, can I make that on my own?
