Video: What are the Profits from being a Published Author?

You are here: Home / Blog / Video: What are the Profits from being a Published Author?

Have you ever wondered what the profits are like for a published author? Well in today’s video, Rachel Coker, a teenage author, and I discuss that vey question.

In the video, I explain the difference in royalties between a traditionally published author, like Rachel Coker, and a self-published author, like me. Rachel and I also explain what an advance is and how you’re supposed to use it.

Finally, Carol gives her dirty secrets of what it really costs her to print her books from a Print On Demand service. Watch the video, filmed in live at the Cincinnati Home School Convention:

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.
