Hello MJ and other Fastlaners!
This is the 1st thread I start to introduce myself and to talk about my road into writing.
I'm an Italian guy who have read " The Millionaire Fastlane " ( " Autostrada per la Ricchezza " ) and really enjoyed it, so I decided to sign up to this forum too!
My main Business path is writing. I've already published 3 books with a Self-Publishing company and put them on popular store like Amazon, Google Books and many more... but the sad thing is that I've sold a very few copies
I have understood from " The Millionaire Fastlane " that passion is not so important in business, but I have to say that I really love writing and I'd like to make it my main business.
I also think writing is "Fastlane" because a book can be sold millions of times (... and so impact millions ) .
I chose the self-publishing because I like freedom and having control over my business. Furthermore control is one of the 5 golden rules of a Fastlane business, so I'd say to continue use self-publishing.
But there is a huge 'but'. In fact self-publishing a book means I have to do every single job related to it on my own: I have to do writing, copy-writing, making of a cover, marketing, ect. This is quite boring because I simply like to write and, above all, it's time consuming... and, as we all know, time is king.
So I've got 2 main questions for you:
- Do I have to quit self-publishing and start chasing a good publishing company, which does all the 'dirty jobs' ?
- Which is the best method to publicize a book nowadays?
Thank you for the attention and see you on the Fastlane!
