How to leave your job for a creative business — lots of us dream of leaving our jobs, but unless we set up and establish a business, that won’t happen. Before you leave a salaried role you need multiple streams of income, financial security, a balance of passive and active income and a plan for scaling your business.
How to create a business around your book (fiction or nonfiction) — a book isn’t just one product. You can turn your book into multiple products from ebooks, paperbacks, audiobooks, hardback and large prints. But why stop there? If you write nonfiction you can turn your books into workbooks and use them to become an expert in your field and gain speaking gigs. If you write fiction, you can produce merchandise, sell translation rights and more. Writing ‘The End’ isn’t the end for your business.
