As a writer, you’ve heard it all: “You can’t make money as a writer.” “Writing is a hobby, not a career.” “Nobody’s reading anymore.”

First, no. Second, only if you want it that way. And, third, absolutely no.

In this episode of Business Models for Creators, I’m chatting with bestselling and money-making author, Juliette N. Banks. And, when I say “bestselling,” I mean hundreds of thousands of books sold bestselling.

Juliette shares how she became such a popular author, how she became profitable as an author, and how she keeps her ideas (and the money) flowing.

“We write a book. We love writing it. We have fun writing it. And it ticks all our boxes for being a writer and an author. Then we have a product. And if we want it to be a business and make money, we have to think like that.” —Juliette N. Banks

Highlights from the episode:

• What is rapid release publishing?
