Joanna Penn well known and prolific writer and YouTuber. I have enjoyed watching videos on her YouTube channel “The Creative Penn” for several years. She is entertaining, funny, personable, and very knowledgeable.
Her book "How to Make a Living with your Writing" details all of her principles of becoming a successful, self-published, author.
Can You Really Make a Living as a Writer?
According to the first chapter of Penn's book: “Yes, it is possible!” Of course, that does not mean it easy. As with any career, achieving success requires a lot of hard work. Penn claims that she makes a six-figure income with her writing through a combination of ethical marketing, blogging, and writing books for a global audience.
She began by totally immersing herself in info about writing, publishing, social media marketing, podcasting, and more. In the book, she offers solid advice about entrepreneurship, developing multiple income streams, building a scalable business, and much more.
Takeaways
One of the takeaways that I received from this book is that you don't just write one book. To be successful, you must write many books. That is the way that you grow in popularity. You must build a name and a brand.
She also discusses different publishing options, changes in the industry, audiobooks, ebooks, how to self-publish, and how to make money with content marketing, affiliate marketing, freelance writing, consulting and coaching, product sales and professional speaking.
This is a great book to get you started in the world of professional writing and self-publishing. I highly recommend it!
