MenuIs there a way that I could license my work as an author in the form of quotes, or quote packages?
There's a lot of free alternatives out there, but my work is consistently shared and appreciated by my fans on Facebook.
The issue for me is to determine how to potentially earn money from my quotes and short writings.
A book takes time, and I would like to find other ways as I'm in the process of creating a book.

How short are the quotes? Would they work on t-shirts, mugs, etc?

Yes you can. You can apply for copyrighting online and just post them all your documents.

How can I make a living out of writing and publishing online books?
Hi there, A good question to consider is this: are people willing to pay to read what you want to write? Do your interests represent a big enough "market" to create and sustain a livelihood? People who make a living out of publishing online seem to have one thing in common: they figure out where their interests intersect with other people's interests. I'm not talking about generating a ton of link bait. I'm talking about finding a hungry crowd. You can sell a world-class hamburger in a vegetarian neighborhood and still go out of business. You can publish excellent articles and blog posts on the arts and humanities, and still make no money. Here's some practical advice for finding your hungry crowd(s): Go to Medium.com. Do some research. Identify the writers who are already publishing on the subjects that interest you. What kind of following have they built up? How many recommends do their stories get on average? Which stories are their most popular? What's their strategy? Do their stories route readers to an external blog or website? Can you figure out how they are making money? If you do "competitive analysis" on two to three dozen arts & humanities writers, then you'll notice some patterns. You'll notice that some topics sell better than others. Or some stylistic elements or flourishes have enabled certain writers to build an audience quickly. Use your analysis to reverse engineer your audience. You can't make a living publishing online until you have an audience. Lastly, watch this video, and pay attention to the part at the end about left-handed vampire movies: https://kicktastic.com/video/convince-convert-jay-baer/. Hope this helps, AustinAC

As an author, how can I get people to subscribe to my newsletter?
What value do THEY get from subscribing to your newsletter? The answer should be: "lots of value, and I make it obvious to readers in language they care about." I've written two how-to books. In each, I point to a book-specific landing page with resources. For my first (on public speaking as a form of business development), I describe the resources as templates that will save them 20-50 hours of work. In my second book (on managing marketing & creative teams), it's how the templates will help them become a better manager. Throughout each book, I have relevant Call to Action (CTA) blocks that point to the resources—an easy "sell" for how-to non-fiction. If you write fiction, think about what would be compelling. Perhaps your subscribers get first updates about your next book, and private updates about your progress on the writing process (similar to what some Kickstarter campaigns will do). Make it about value to them, and signups will follow. I'm glad to do a call to discuss further. Good luck!KS

How can I monetize a new blog?
Having a blog is a platform. It's an unknown platform at the moment, so it's not very valuable yet. Traffic is the name of the game: you want eyeballs on that blog that are connected to brains that are already interested in your topic. Find influencers who are respected in the field you're blogging about, and get them to say something about you and your blog. That will do more for you than anything right now, while you're unable to pay for traffic. On your site, you want to have relevant offers. Leverage the traffic by getting interested prospects to sign up to your autoresponder list. That way, you can continue to market to them...qualify them further...and sell them. Multiple times. Do not allow visitors to escape without the opportunity to opt-in to your list. You fought hard to get them there: make sure you can continue to market to them. After you get the basics of a funnel set up (Traffic >> Opt-In >> Sequence), consider the concept of Laddering. This is where you have increasingly valuable offers for people to buy. A huge mistake I've seen many beginner marketers make over the years is to have only one product or service to sell. Once the buyer gets that...what else is there to buy? Remember that there will always be some people who will buy literally everything you put out there. Make sure the solutions you provide work. And once you are confident in their quality, be happy to sell them to people. (Sounds weird, but a lot of people get bent out of shape at the idea of selling something.) Finally, keep in mind that if you create and own the product, your margins are much higher than if you're an affiliate. That means more revenue to you, and more cash to make choices with.JK

Recommended copywriting course?
Writing skills are best learned through practice, critique, and revision. Curriculum is a waste, in my opinion – that is, listening to generalizations about how to write something other than the task at hand. Only the actual words on the page are worth discussing. Not rules. Maybe courses would be worthwhile if they entail a lot of hands-on interaction with a brutally honest, pragmatic instructor. What your team would really learn from, I suspect, is watching someone perform surgery on their copy, pausing to explain why the guts are being ripped out here, why the sutures are stitched up in such and such a manner there, etc. Consider hiring someone to workshop in person with your team. No prearranged abstract curriculum. Just critique.JP
