He used that course to collect a large number of emails and the conversion rate of people who bought the book and then the course was one out of every three. He then <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/thinkific-vs-teachable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made a paid course<\/a> and sold it to only his list, making more than $120,000 in the first weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using affiliate links is also a way of garnering income from your book, but be careful to not use Amazon Associates links in both Kindle editions and especially in iTunes editions. And this episode\u2019s guest, Gundi Gabrielle, warns against being too aggressive in pushing those affiliate links on your readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware than some of your readers probably have an idea of one day writing a book of their own, and you can offer services to them like editing, proofreading, or consulting. They\u2019re more likely going to want to work with another author in their niche when it comes time for them to write that book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t look at other authors in your genre as competition. In fact, you can help them (and yourself) by forming a collective to help one another out and support one another, either with a common website or Facebook group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Facebook groups, if you don\u2019t want to go through the work of creating a course or trying to build a giant email list right away, creating a Facebook group for your readers and other authors in your genre is an quick and easy way to do some social media networking. Just be sure to provide value in that group and not just sales pitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t just assume these tips are for non-fiction writers, either. Many of these tips can be applied to fiction writers, too. And fiction writers have the benefit of creating characters that their readers can connect with enough to possibly want items like replicas or stuffed animals or other merchandise featuring that character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIf you have the audience and they like you and trust you, you can funnel this into anything.\u201d &#8211; Gundi Gabrielle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bio-of-the-author-in-the-case-study\">Bio of the Author in the Case Study:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/profile-pic-Gundi-Gabrielle-300x300-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/profile-pic-Gundi-Gabrielle-300x300-1.png 300w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/profile-pic-Gundi-Gabrielle-300x300-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Gundi Gabrielle, aka&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/sassyzengirl.com\/\">SassyZenGirl<\/a><span class=\"\">&nbsp; loves to explain complex matters in an easy to understand, fun way.
