You’re happiest when you’re writing. It’s what you’ve been put on this Earth to do, and you hope to one day make a living from your books. But you've probably realized how difficult it is to earn enough from book sales alone. In fact, most authors, even some New York Times bestsellers, end up having to take on outside work in order to make ends meet.

If you must do other work, why not have it be work that supports and relates to what you love—your books?

If you want to earn a living as an author, you have to think beyond your book. Not only that, think like someone who is more than an author. Think like an entrepreneur. Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, just the fact that you’re writing books means you have what it takes to become an authorpreneur.

Review

Rarely do I find a book on authorship that impresses me as much as AUTHORPRENEUR: How to Build a Business Around Your Book by Nina Amir has done.

From start to finish, Nina Amir provides outstanding insights into how virtually any author can make money from their writing. Fiction, nonfiction, first time or seasoned authors will benefit from this book.

This is more than a book based on theory. The content is rock solid and immediately applicable.

If you're looking for a surefire way to begin making money from your writing sooner than later, AUTHORPRENEUR: How to Build a Business Around Your Book is a must read.

Kathleen Gage, Author, Speaker, Consultant, PowerUpforProfits.com


"Accessible, inspiring, and actionable, Nina Amir's Authorpreneur is a must-read for any writer interested in making a living as an author. As a writing coach, I often find that the hardest thing about publishing and marketing for the writers I work with is that it requires so much outer-oriented work; many writers, after all, write for the more inner-oriented reasons (creation, self-exploration, healing). But the dream of writing a book and having it become a bestseller based solely on the beauty of its writing or power of its message is just that: a dream. In order to truly achieve success in today's publishing world, authors have to think of their books as products, and of themselves as brands, a fact Amir clearly understands. If you're intimated by the prospect of building a business around your book, this smart, insightful, and easy-to-understand guide is a great place to start. "

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Book for Building a Business Around Your Book!
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
The subtitle of this book is “How to Build a Business around Your Book”, so that’s the primary focus. From the start, the author addresses the cold hard facts of being an author – most authors do not get rich from selling their books. Then she goes on to state that authors need to view their books as entrepreneurs view their products. This is an excellent point to make and one that many authors ignore.

Authorpreneur is for both fiction and non-fiction authors. Building a business around fiction and non-fiction books is broken down at the beginning of the book. There are suggestions for using a book as a jumping off point for other business ideas.

The author also gives some great information on ways to write more books – this is probably the best way to build a fan base and I was happy to see Ms. Amir discuss this concept clearly and succinctly.

There’s a certain amount of repetition here and there, however, but perhaps the author really wanted to drive the point home for authors – come up with more book ideas, properly brainstorm them, and you’ll begin to build a business. Using mini-books to sell books is an excellent way to proceed and Ms. Amir addresses these valuable selling tools. Webinars, seminars, teleseminars and online courses are also discussed in detail.

Overall, I’d say this book has a lot of valuable information for authors who want to take their book-writing skills to the next level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Of course you will have to get your ideas into a good shape and articulate them well
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015

I review this book from the perspective of an entrepreneur. You never know who is out there in the crowd. All the marketing advice will tell you about focus and not wasting your promotional dollars. On the other hand, casting your bread upon the waters may bring unexpected results.

Nina Amir's eBook, Authorpreneur: How to Build a Business Around Your Book, could equally be subtitled, "How to Build a Book Around Your Business." Entrepreneurs would do well to read her eBook, to learn of vital ways they can multiply their marketing without spending a fortune.

Of course you will have to get your ideas into a good shape and articulate them well. Then a bigger challenge, but not rocket science, is to learn how to format and publish an your own book. The payoffs of the effort can be huge, if not remunerative. She tells you how to go about the process and then add multipliers.

The return on investment may not come from the book itself, even though it can be a wonderful promotional tool, but from the derivative products related to the subject of the book. She shows you how to use the eBook, or a printed one, into workshops and classes; using the book to start a speaking career; turning the book into teleseminars and webinars. But then she adds multipliers to multipliers.

Nina then shows you how to turn those book-based webinars and teleseminars into online courses and how to create courses while you are writing books. Not only that, she then goes on to explain how to turn courses into books! She writes from the perspective of an author, but the entrepreneur has just as much, or even more to learn from her.

Few entrepreneurs think about writing a book, but it is a wonderful way to promote the business and find new customers. At the same time, sitting down to write a book is immensely helpful to clarify your thinking about its subject matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to REALLY make money as an author!
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2014

Nina Amir provides great information in this book on how to REALLY make a living as an author. She writes, "If you want to support yourself as an author, write a book for the purpose of making money from related products and services. Write a book because you want to build a business around your book." This is great advice for those of us who really want to make a full-time income as authors.

This book helps you to change you mindset from thinking as just an author, to thinking as an entrepreneur.

Some of the other tips that I found helpful are to:

*Create a business around EACH book you write. This is a better way to make a living than just writing multiple books (though writing multiple books helps!).

*Have a map of where you're going, before you start writing your book.

*Create an action plan, including dates, for each of the monetization strategies for each book.

This book gives tons of helpful tips for how to pull it all together and increase your income potential, regardless of whether you are a self-published or traditionally published author.

Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Beginning Authorpreneurs
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016

Having been a writer and entrepreneur (therefore, Authorpreneur) forever, I am the perfect reader for this book. Much of the information in it is not new to me, although I did enjoy reading it in a plan format, laid out in clear steps. I wish something like it had been around 20+ years ago.

The pros: The author doesn't sugar-coat the reality of making a living via one's writing. She lets you know that one must offer other products, webinars, talks and so on in order to be successful. For someone who needs guidance in spinning of extra goods/services, this is a great resource. If your book is about the only topic you're ever going to write about, and you wish to create a business around it, this is a good resource.

The cons: I wasn't sure who Ms. Amir was, and felt during most of the book that she was not an expert so much as just another blogger who decided to write a book. Much of the information is very general, and some is downright suspect. One statement, for example, says: "Even if you write fiction, you can cross over to non-fiction, or you can become an expert on a topic in your novel and create a business based on that."

Uh. Really? I'm not going to waste time addressing all the things that are wrong with that statement...

Overall, I think it would be a useful book for writers who are beginning to create a business around a book. Myself, I'm too far along in the process and want to write more books, not go off on a thousand tangents (I do that already and don't need help doing it!). I took off one star because of over-generalization.
