Here are the fun nuggets from the interview:
Fun nugget #1: As an aspiring author, you are missing out on a quarter of the market if you don’t publish an ebook
Fun nugget #2: Follow the 80/20 principle which is going to lead you to the ebook route
Fun nugget #3: Your #1 job as an author is to create fans
Fun nugget #4: Be generous with your book, because to build your fans, you are really trying to get people to spend time with you (rather than getting them to spend money on you)
Fun nugget #5: Just GO (when it comes to starting your book); there will be no “perfect” time to start
Fun nugget #6: Series are more profitable than writing just one book
Fun nugget #7: Focus on what you can control (your activity on a daily basis) rather than things that you can’t necessarily control (such as FaceBook likes, etc.)
Fun nugget #8: Research about your target market is right at your fingertips in the form of Amazon reviews
