Today on The Rise To The Top: The #1 Non-Boring Business Show: Is it possible to make a living by selling books without a publisher? Welcome, my friends, to the new era of eBooks – and today’s guest, Jim Kukral, who ditched his traditional publisher to create his own empire on his terms. Today we talk about the new era in publishing, monetizing, and how you might be able to get more than what most “traditionally published” authors get in terms of an advance – before you even release your eBook. Enjoy!
I use RISE partner Wistia for video hosting because they rock. Check ’em out.
