EP304: How I sold $500k in books...and made $0

The New Wave Podcast

Did you know that my first book made $500,00 the day it released...and I didn't see a dollar?

(Don't cry for me, I more than made up for it on the back end.)

Yesterday, I was sharing this story with an entrepreneur who is excited about publishing a money / investing book in 2025. On the call, I was telling him more about how we work with authors at New Wave Press when it dawned on me...

Most people don't know that there are actually 3 different ways you can publish a book: traditional, independent or self-published.

I'm already writing enough these days (and I'm on multiple deadlines, yikes!)....so I just decided to lay out the benefits and drawbacks of each model in this episode.

If you want to have the highest quality, most control and biggest ROI from your book, you need to understand the differences and choose wisely.
