I had a couple friends who were making a killing from selling apps on the App Store, but I didn’t have enough courage to put that sort of money into a project that I wasn’t familiar with.Īfter a bit of research, I learned that self-publishing eBooks was a very similar model to producing apps, but it was a lot cheaper and a lot easier to get done. I didn’t have a lot of time to start a business from scratch, so I was looking for a passive income (spend money to make money) type of venture. I even mention self-publishing as one of my top 15 solopreneur businesses in this post.īelow is my case study with Saeed… Why did you decide to get into Kindle eBook publishing?

In my opinion, this is a fantastic way to get started as a solopreneur and get your feet wet. Use Saeed’s experience as a model, and you could be well on your way to a brand new stream of passive income. When Saeed wrote to me about this, I knew it was my duty to share his story and create this case study interview on his first book, so you could learn more about this opportunity. Saeed has been making around $2,700 a month by publishing eBooks on Amazon, and he hasn’t written a word himself. That’s where Saeed Rajan of Escape Your Desk Job comes in. With the internet as our platform, anyone can create a new stream of income for themselves, of course with a little work. Self-publishing has flipped the script on the traditional publishing model. With Amazon, Kindle eBooks have become a booming business, and writers of all types are creating a name for themselves, and making a nice income. But with the birth of digital products and the internet, one thing has changed, and that is the explosion of eBooks. Books are one of the few constants that distinctly identify human culture.
