    About this ebook

    In my first few months of indie publishing, I made zero dollars. That's right. The big donut.
    But by the end of my first year, I'd grossed over $10,000, making me not a millionaire, but a thousandaire.
    How? Hard work and a bit of good luck.
    In this essay, I break down the recipe of how I made five figures in twelve months.
    We can all profit from indie publishing. Not the same amount of money, and not on the same timeline, but every one of us can reap the rewards of this brave new world, selling directly to readers, which means pocketing the money both as authors and as publishers.
    We can all be thousandaires together!
