Jenna, it's possible to make some money I'll say it's possible to make probably $10,000 or $5,00000 from royalties and of course the publisher and agent will take there half but with that said I don't know how the h*ll authors like JK Rowling, Stephen King, Danielle Steel, James Patterson, and so on I don't know how they became a millionaire and billionaire just from writing books Even if your book become a movie or TV show a film producer will only pay you $30,00000 or $50,000000 and the publisher and agent will take there half of the money I see authors like you who became an author the normal way by earning not so much that the real life of an author, but authors like Danielle Steel, Stephen King, James Patterson and JK Rowling that's not the real life of an author because yes we will earn $5,00000 and $10,00000 but we will never earn millions of dollars and billions of dollars like these big time authors do I honestly think Danielle Steel them had a witch voodoo priest put a spell on them to make there books sell because I don't understand how they became so rich just from writing books even screenwriters don't become billionaires or even a millionaire from writing a movie script Those authors who are millionaires and billionaires cheated there way I don't think they became an author the regular way like you did and me I think they had a spell put on them to make there books sell 😂 😂 😂 Comment from : Star Bright |

I've seen plenty of authors who put their unfinished novels on Indiegogo to get investors to give them an income while they finish their book You have to provide updates on your progress, and each investor gets a signed copy but it's extra money and builds reader interest Comment from : Matt Webb |

Jenna, because of you, I’m using IngramSpark I also work as a ghost writer Thank you for your help and inspiration Comment from : Josh Gordon |

I appreciate the entrepreneurial spirit, but how could you turn down vagina vitamins? Comment from : uncleanunicorn |

i'd be interested in hearing more about the personal assistant like how you found her and how she helps you Comment from : Britt Alfred |

Don’t know who will relate to this, but I didn’t want to be a “starving artist”, but still wanted as much time as possible to write without work bogging me down So I got a job where I work half the year; two weeks on, two weeks off Beginner job, pays 87k yearly Hard to write at work but when I’m home, all the time in the world, and I’m not starving That’s just me though Comment from : Carter Willis |

Wonderful advice! I am currently struggling with where I'm supposed to start and get discouraged with all of this information but you managed to put it into a comprehensive list for me! I'm on the fourth chapter of my first fantasy novel and wanted to keep it simple and start with e-book sales and see what happens from there, and I'll start putting this advice to use, too! Thank you!brbrQuick question if anyone can answer though: is it hard to become a virtual assistant, freelance writer, or ghostwriter without prior experience or college education? Because I have neither and I search Indeed often for gigs like that, but I can never find anything I would "qualify" for because most of those require a number of years experience or a bachelor's degree T_T Comment from : WillinglyGhoulified |

Do you think you could talk about the “overarching message” of books - the point, the truth or lessons within books How to figure out what your message is, and maybe examples from you books or others? This is something I’m struggling with and I can’t find a lot of recourses on the topic Comment from : Morgan |

Hello Jenna Thanks a lot for your tips, as always they are a great of help But I have one enquiry and It's been bothering me for quite a long time now Say Jenna ,how do You write a rather long romance book without it being slow burn? Does that you mean you need to follow the act structure over and over again or that you will write only one climax? 🙏🙏 Comment from : Leyla Soirez |
|
Is there a way to build a platform if you're not aesthetically pleasing? With the right makeup and camera angle I can take a good selfie, but otherwise I look like a toothless ape 😂 Comment from : Dark Moon Fever |

SIIIIIIGH, money I'm a freaking Communist, so the market economy is BS BUUUUT, I live in a Capitalist country Thanks, Canada Seriously, though, my bestie and I have a JOINT New Year's resolution to hold one another's feet to the fire on our writing, so this MIHT actually apply to me this year Alright, intelligent woman, what ya got for me? br1 AH! ECON TERMS! Really, ,though, even my mother has suggested I make money as a freelancer while I'm working on my books She says you don't make a lot from it, but he benefit is the short-term contract style of the work If you don't like your employer at the moment, don't worry: you'll be done with them in a few months So, like, hop from thing to thing? I would NOT recommend magazine publishing, though My bestie has done it, and I think the most she ever made on a job was $20 She didn't expect to make more, and it was for fun, not for work, but yeah, not a good idea for real money br2 Snort, yeah HERE is my platform No, literally, YouTube is my platform If I'ma make a website, though, can I just edit for people? Hell, I do it for my job NOW, so why not? I'm not using Wix, though, because f*ck all their ads on here br3 Audio, please And BRAILLE No, I'm not kidding I'm, like, 90 blind, and trust me, my community appreciates it when books are in both of those formats I think it's fairly rare to get any post-2000s book in Braille, though, which sucks It IS a myth that our Braille literacy rate is below 50 worldwide, though Someone made that up, and it wasn't us And yay, Jenna makes the disabilities point, too! Love ya br4 How high can tiers go on Patreon? The only person I support on there, I do believe his highest tier is $15, but he's very modest and doesn't think much of his own work he SHOULD, but he doesn't br5 This has been going on forever, and while I hate ads on YouTube--who doesn't?--I DO like supporting people, so just wait five seconds for the 'skip ad' button Woot br6 You know what's weird? This HAS to be a scam, obviously, but I've been seeing pop-up ads in comments sections on bigger channels from freaking Telegram FYI, Telegram is an Alt Right cesspool No one I follow on YouTube would be on Telegram I keep having to report these things, though I don't think I've ever seen them on your channel, Jenna More with gamers, and people who post content either about politics or religion Does anyone know what I'm talking about and why it's happening? br7 Yay, stuff! No really, some of the stuff people sell is really cool br8 Who ya gonna call? GHOST WRITER! Really, though, I probably would do this, too, though my first choice, as aforementioned, would be editing, since I already do it for a living br9 See above br10 So, they're the people who help you boost your platform? Cool Comment from : Active Advocate |

I had to laugh, the other day on Instagram, someone randomly followed me there and said they are a company that deals with tons of op brands including Nike, Adidas They wanted me to go into partnership with the company despite it only having 37 followers I was chosen to be represented by these top brands, earn money and they would monetise my platform So after a few questions, they tell me they buy thier ads through facebook so clients can promote it on thier network Lolscammers will try anything Comment from : Andee Harry |

What are your thoughts on having a day job on the side of writing or even having it as your main income? For me it seems easier to live off a 9-5 and write in your spare time Comment from : Crouton_18 |

Is not about the money Comment from : Writer |
|
I'm just so concerned, since I have manuscripts, but I am in high school, and so busy with school, and I don't know how I am supposed to make an author platform, if I don't know many people, nor do I have the time to find them Comment from : this_is_a_cat |

Always appreciate when you mention accessibility for disabled people! Comment from : Les |
|
Thanks, Jenna But I have zero interest in making money from writing I write for fun Getting paid to do it would turn it into a job I don't want a job I quit playing bass in bands for the same reason Comment from : Oletta Liano |

I've been following for the last couple of months and I just wanted to say how grateful I am for your knowledge sharing! Really amazing I've NEVER been the person anyone would think would write a bookbut I'm in my 40s and I'm my mom's caregiver (Dementia) and I've been looking for a different creative outlet (I have my own web design agency) and I've been writing mini stories for a couple of years (nothing I would ever share - ugh a roo)and I have recently thought that I'd like to go ALL IN and write a bookbrbrThis is not a book I may ever share, it's more something really enjoyable for me I love creative work and this is really different for me and kinda exciting brbrAnyway, I'm fucking babbling! brbrSo, THANKS - I think you're pretty great!
