Studies show 82% of people dream of writing a book.
The benefits of writing a book are numerous: 

For years, I was one of the 82% who wanted to get published. I had a book inside me, but I was unable to write my story. I didn’t know how, and the advice I found seemed overwhelming, contradictory, and confusing.

Finally, in 2003, I received my first book deal from a traditional publisher. I was so thrilled. I thought my life was about to change.

Like me at that time, most new authors think traditional publishing is the answer. They labor and stress over their manuscript, working hard to get every word just right, convinced it will change their lives forever. Dreaming of the lives that will be changed by reading it, they finally submit their book to the publisher with all of their hopes inside.

They soon discover the truth.

Most traditional publishers aren't interested in new authors. Unless you already have a big platform, they likely won't give you a second look.

Sadly, when an author submits their book to traditional publishing houses, they are usually faced with one of two scenarios:

• • They receive a stack of rejection letters or no communication at all.
  • They get accepted, only to discover the publisher keeps virtually all the money from every book sale.

Although I was lucky enough to get traditional book deals—six of them—I eventually learned they expected me to do all the marketing. Worse yet, I only received 10–12% of sales after I paid back my entire advance. To top it off, they made a $5 profit off of me every time I purchased one of my own books to sell at my events. This means when I bought 5,000 books, they profited $25,000!

I knew there had to be a better way.

Stung by the traditional route, many aspiring authors turn to self-publishing. Taking matters into their own hands, they decide to tackle the maze of responsibilities involved in getting a book into print.

Unfortunately, they quickly discover that, in order to publish a book, you need to become proficient in

Cover Design
Interior Design
Editing
ISBNs
Proposals
Marketing
Distribution
Promotion
Endorsements
Back Cover Copy
and much, much more

After months, or perhaps even years of struggle, they finally publish their book only to discover brick-and-mortar bookstores won't even carry it. They have no one to help them and no idea how to fix it.

After writing six traditionally published books and doing most of the marketing myself, I discovered a powerful process that helped me turn each of my next four books into six-figure businesses.

It's the same model that helped me create 18 streams of income around each of these books, including my fiction book! It allowed me to quit my day job and become a full-time writer. It gave me maximum profits, control, and distribution.

I took this process and put it into a publishing company I founded called Author Academy Elite.

Over the past 18 years, over 250,000 people have asked me for help on how to write, publish, and market their books. After years of focusing exclusively on my own writing career, I decided I could ignite more souls by designing the exact program I wish I’d had when I started.

Author Academy Elite would have saved me thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars. This is why my team and I created this program.

If done correctly, a published book will increase your influence, impact, and income. But if done incorrectly, you’ll end up with a garage full of books.
