    Book Series: Why I’ll Take 333 Raving Fans Over 1,430 Readers Any Day

    In this episode, we’re taking on one of the biggest traps holding authors back: the Big Book Bottleneck. Most authors never finish their book, or worse, finish it and still struggle to earn. Why? Because they bet everything on one big book that takes too long to write, too long to sell, and doesn’t give readers a reason to stick around. Instead, I’ll show you how to flip the model using the Mini Book Momentum Method, a smarter way to write, publish, and profit. We’ll do the math, show you how to build a profitable book series, and walk through how I earned over $10K from slow-selling titles by turning one big idea into a modular book business.
