You are lucky enough to be here at the best time in the history of the world for online writers, publishers, product developers - and entrepreneurs in general.
Websites. Digital Products. eBooks.
Whatever you publish, you can enjoy The Freedom Of The Publisher’s Life.
We find ourselves in a wonderful situation where content is king, the bad old days of unfair and restrictive publishing deals with low % cuts are fading, and you can promote to an audience of millions for pennies.
And it has never been easier to build a website or sales funnel with amazing free tools such as WordPress and its wonderful array of themes and plugins and online tools such as 1MinuteSites.
The market for digital courses is another growth area. With marketplaces like Udemy, the sharing of detailed knowledge via video has never been easier while services like Amazon S3 and YouTube have made storage and hosting accessible to almost all. The rise of high quality digital video cameras on smart phones has also helped the production of these courses become so much easier, and combined with screen capture software such as Camtasia the ability to produce high quality training is open to everyone.
And these tools combined with the publishing / writing business model has made the possibility of living a location independent life a reality for many. You can publish from Peru or Patagonia as easily as Portland or Paris and enjoy a far higher standard of living for the same money.
But I urge you all to think about a life of ‘publishing’ and not just ‘writing’. Don’t just just end up with another 40 (plus) hour a week writing job. Instead you can buy your freedom with the right tools to run your business and some affordable outsourced staff.
