About the episode

In this episode, Mike and AJ debunk the weird myth that persists that authors can’t make a profit from writing a must-read. What’s the ROI on writing a prescriptive nonfiction book? Sure, there’s parlaying your book sales into speaking gigs, but this week our duo lays out ways that authors can increase their sales and generate real income. The ideas might surprise you! (And you’ll learn our duo’s desert island books, too.)
