Nathan Bransford - The Forums

Hey guys - I have recently started Passive Income Author, a blog covering the business side of being a self-published author. I'm hoping to get some feedback on which topics need more coverage in the community, and what you think of my articles so far.

I've written:

• 5 Clever Tactics to Get More eBook Sales Per Reader
• How to Set Up a Professional Author Website in Under 30 Minutes

I'm also trying to organize a guest-post on David Gaughran's blog - will add a link here if I get the privilege to contribute

Thanks everyone!

Skellie

Some great stuff there Skellie. Been wanting to set up a newsletter so I'll check out your suggestions.

Hey Ryan, thanks so much for taking the time to read, it's really encouraging. I'll be writing a more in-depth post on email newsletters soon, so I'll link to it here in case it's useful for you and others.

I'm reading John Locke's self publishing book and he puts a huge emphasis on his 'Guaranteed Buyers' email list, which is a really interesting concept. He believed that he had gathered 1,000 people on the list who would buy anything he released. Not a bad place to be at all! .

Really interesting stuff here, Skellie - and very timely. I bet alot of folks who are looking to self-publish for an income would find a site like yours really valuable!

Thanks for the kind words Mira! It always saddens me when people want to write full-time but can't do so because their books don't pay the bills. If my advice can help someone take the leap and make a living from writing, then all the work is worth it.

I've just added a new post on something I feel strongly about: The Importance of Having Your Work Torn Apart By Strangers

Skellie, do you think the articles on your site would apply to traditional publishing too?
