I like to be transparent about my earnings because I want you to see that creating an additional income stream is possible—even if you have a busy life.
I still work a full-time job. I'm also a mom to a young child, and like many of you, I have a lot competing for my time. That's why I love self-publishing. Once a book is created, it can continue working for you long after you've finished writing it.
šŸ“š Paperback & Ebook Results
  • Lifetime Royalties: $68,057.75
šŸŽ§ Audiobook Results - Audible doesn't make it easy to calculate lifetime earnings because I'd have to download and total every royalty statement individually.
However, based on my historical average royalty earnings per sale under the previous royalty model, I've had nearly 17,000 audiobook sales/downloads, which puts my estimated audiobook royalties at roughly $60,000+.
šŸ’µ Combined Estimated Lifetime Earnings
  • Books (Paperback + Ebook): $68,057
  • Audiobooks (Estimated): $60,000+
  • Total: Over $128,000 in approximately 3 years
Is that enough to replace my day job today? No.
But has it helped create more financial freedom, additional income, and opportunities that wouldn't have existed otherwise? Absolutely.
The biggest mistake I see people make is waiting for the "perfect" time to start. Every month you delay publishing is another month your future books aren't out there working for you.
Imagine where you could be 1 year from now if you started today.
