When Dave Chesson was in the US Navy, he would spend lots of time away from his family. And he hated it.  He decided to create a portfolio of niche sites in an attempt to earn enough to quit his job, but his path took a different turn. He got the idea to turn one of his websites into a book and self-publish it. As it turned out, it was the start of something big, and it allowed him to eventually quit his job to be with his wife and kids. Today, he's the author of 10 books which have earned him +$750k to date, and he also created a tool and a website to help others publish their books using the Kindle Publishing Platform. In this interview, he shares the details of his journey as well as lots of tips for getting started with—and succeeding—with self-publishing.   Links & Resources Dave's site, Kindlepreneur - https://kindlepreneur.com/ Dave's tool, Publisher Rocket - https://publisherrocket.com/ Dave's Amazon Ads course - https://davechesson.podia.com/amazon-advertisements-for-books-course Atticus.io - https://www.atticus.io/ Ready to join a niche publishing mastermind, and hear from industry experts each week?

It's been a while since I filmed or recorded a Behind the Scenes Author Diary Update—so that's what I'm going to do. In this episode, I will discuss what I've been doing since January 2022. And this episode isn't going to be scripted, mainly because if I start scripting these episodes, it will take a long time to produce them. Let's face it, I know what I've done this year, so I shouldn't have to rely on a script to discuss that. It's not like I want to say something in a certain way because it's super important for me to communicate it. I'm just simply talking about my year.So in this show, I'm going to come clean about why I've trademarked my podcast's name. Honestly, this isn't the first time I considered discussing it. The last time I chickened out. Also, I will discuss the books I published this year and my mixed feelings about using Advanced Reader Services. And I'm going to come out of the closet as a book cover designer.So stay tuned for all of this and much more.Podcasts, Books, and Tools MentionedCheck Out the Show NotesThe Previous EpisodeThe UK Copyright ServiceMystery Novel Nerd PodcastWMG Publishing CoursesBookSproutInterested in the mini-course on how to outline a novel?Am Writing Fiction Community by The Authorpreneur Podcast (Facebook Group)Support the show by buying me a coffeeWant the podcast straight to your inbox?My ServicesTry The Formatting Wizard Book Formatting Services for FREE **The Formatting Templates offered by my services.Le Villain Book Covers (Affordable Premade Book Covers) **My BooksMy Short Story, the LawnThe Candidate (Rookie Reporter, Book 1)Suspicion (James Lalonde, Book 1)Duplicity (James Lalonde, Book 2)Entitled to Murder on my blogEntitled to Murder on WattpadConnect with Me on Social MediaTwitter: @WriterADHayFacebook: www.facebook.com/authorpreneurpodcastFB group: Am Writing Fiction Community by The Authorpreneur Podcast Instagram: @authorpreneurpodcastYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/authorpreneurpodcast/videos* This is an affiliate link where I receive a very small commission if you purchase this product.** This is a service offered by me

In this episode: 14 year old Shanti Hershenson has always been a writer but when lockdown happened, she decided to take the plunge and transition from short stories to a novel.Bursting with energy and enthusiasm for her writing, Shanti says it's too easy for teen writers to underestimate themselves and think that because they're so young, they can't possibly write a novel. But, she says, you can absolutely do it no matter what age you are. You just have to be consistent, write regularly and little by little you'll get better. But you must keep writing.Shanti's best known book is You Won't Know Her Name, a novel that tackles the subject of bullying at school. Shanti was bullied and she was so angered by her school's lackadaisical response that she wrote her novel - in verse form.I asked why she chose to write it in verse, and she told me that's the way the book wanted to be written. It was the most natural way to tell the story she had in her head.The novel resonates with a lot of people her age because it acknowledges that most bullies are a friend of the victim. They are not a random kid from another class or year, but someone the victim knows.Shanti Hershenson's advice for anyone being bullied is to talk to a trusted adult, whether that be a coach, teacher, parent or other family member. Don't feel you've got to deal with it alone. There's always one person you can reach out to who will know what to do.Her advice for schools is to not shy away from the problem. Listen to the victim. They don't make up being bullied. If the school doesn't know it's happening, then get observant. Make it a priority to find out what's going on in your playground.Shanti feels too many principals deny that bullying happens in their school, which doesn't fix the problem.Shanti Hershenson's productivity rate is explosive and she shares her writing routine and how she balances school life and writing. The trick for her is to write as soon as she gets home, before switching off for the day.We finish our conversation with Shanti telling me about book 17 and her hopes for the future, which I'm sure is very bright.Book 17 is her most complicated story to date, and it's clear she's having fun writing it and is excited to share it with the world.Connect with ShantiWebsite: Author | Shanti HershensonInstagram: @shantihershensonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Usually as a content creator, you're creating blogs, video content, and podcast. But there's multiple avenues to get your content and brand out there. Which all begs the question: have you ever wanted to publish a book? Writing a book is a natural segue for many bloggers, but the journey can seem large and long. In Summer of Live 2019, we talked to two Mediavine influencers who are both published authors: Jen Ruiz of Jen on a Jet Plane and Valerie Stimac of The Space Tourism Guide and Valerie & Valise. Jen and Valerie pack this episode with their honest individual experiences in publishing their own books, and give action-packed tips on how you can get started today. Make sure to tune in! Helpful Resources Jen On A Jet PlaneThe Space Tourism GuideValerie & ValiseBecome A Published Author with Jeffrey Eisner | Mediavine On Air Episode 16The Solo Female Travel BookDark Skies 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV0CgXjrtC0 Transcript [MUSIC PLAYING] JENNY GUY: Happy Thursday, everybody. It is July 11th, and we are in the Summer of Live. I'm Jenny Guy, Mediavine's marketing manager, and it is our month of beyond blogging. So we are talking about the things that tie to your blogging career but might be a little bit outside just the nuts and bolts of operating your website. But we are here and we are so excited today to be talking about book publishing. And I have two amazing guests. But book publishing can seem like a really natural segue for a lot of bloggers. It's an extension of you sharing that expertise that you're already sharing with your audience-- that's sometimes it-- and then other times, it can be the impetus for people to begin blogging in the first place. We've heard a lot of publishers tell us they're great authors, but they aren't able to quite navigate the system and get published, so they decide to start a blog so they can make use of their expertise and their writing skills. But whatever your experiences with book publishing, I'm here with two guests who are both highly successful publishers. We're really excited to have them-- both on their websites and with their books. So first I have Jen Ruiz. Hello, Jen. Welcome. JENNIFER RUIZ: Hi, Jenny. Thank you. JENNY GUY: Awesome. So she is the Mediavine publisher with the site Jen on a Jet Plane, where she writes about affordable female travel solo-- which I think is so fierce and amazing. She's a frequent conference speaker, and she also has her own TED Talk. No big deal there. And, exciting news, she just told me she is doing another TEDx Talk, which I'll have her tell us about a little bit later. But her current TED Talk that's already available for release is "The Power of Flying Solo," which is advocating for travel as a cure for what ails you. She's also a lawyer and the author of the books You Need a Vacation, which is about how to travel with a full-time job, which we all could use, The Solo Female Travel Book, which is tips and inspiration for women who want to see the world on their own terms-- who doesn't?-- and The Affordable Flight Guide, which is how to find cheap airline tickets and see the world on a budget. That last one I just mentioned, The Affordable Flight Guide, just happens to be a number one Amazon best seller. So she has a few things she's worked on. Jen, welcome, and tell us just real quick, what's going on with you in your life right now? I know that I spilled the beans on your TED Talk, but what else is going on? JENNIFER RUIZ: You did. I just got that notification minutes before logging on today. [INTERPOSING VOICES] JENNIFER RUIZ: Hot off the presses, important news. Otherwise, I have a couple of press trips coming up. I'll be, actually, taking a food trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan next week, which I'm so excited about. I worked out really hard today to try to earn my right to eat all the delicious things next week. I have a big move coming up.

Tess and Gary courageously take on one of the most controversial subjects of our time—the Me Too movement and deftly craft the male and female points of view in a one-of-a-kind thriller that makes for perfect summer reading. Tess shares some secrets of the craft and approaching this kind of subject matter with honesty and compassion. If you're aspiring to write a suspense or detective series, or just interested as a reader, Tess Gerritsen has a lot to share about the demands of the genre and the painstaking research that she does for all of her books. About the host:Holly Lynn Payne is the CEO and founder of Booxby , a startup helping authors succeed.
