Ever wished you could quit your job and make a full-time living as an author? Me, too! Let's see how close/far away I am from that ultimate author goal and check out my revenue for 2023 as an author.

What counts as author revenue... Only book-related line items like ebook, paperbacks, audiobooks and youtube income from my author channel.

What does not count as author revenue... Anything not related to books! A big pet peeve of mine is when authors claim to be full-time authors but the majority of their income is from coaching, editing services or something that has nothing to do with writing and selling their own books.

I'm all about side-hustles but unless you're ghost-writing fiction, then you're not a full-time author by my definition. Sure - You're a creative entrepreneur but you're not a full-time author.

So this video is all about the income I make from my books and talking about my books and writing on YouTube. I'm sharing actual dollars and not blowing you know what up your xyz with percentages and yes, I'm doing a full screen share so not faking the numbers here.
