Guest Post: Can You Be a Best Selling Self-Published Author?

By Judy Cullins

You may think you need a New York publisher in order to be a successful author.

But as a long time book coach, with many clients who self-published for business successfully, I can show you non-vanity publishers who have given great information to our world, gotten great word of mouth, and even made millions.

So, be encouraged and start your education on self-publishing now.

Here’s 5 High Profit Self-Publishers

1. Think about “What Color is Your Parachute” by Richard Bolles.

The book came out in 1970, and now has 10 million copies in print. It still works for the recession job seeker today.

2. Remember “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series?

Mark V. Hansen is a real marketing machine and from his talent, the books sold more than 112 million copies.

3. Did you Read “The One-Minute Manager?”

In 1981, I bought this book by Kenneth Blanchard and many of his other books. I named a time and life management seminar I gave in San Diego after this book, called “The One-Minute Nurse.” Today he and Spencer Johnson, co-author, have sold 10 million copies.

4. Wayne Dyer Sold His “Your Erroneous Zone” from his Car Trunk.

5. Self-publisher Paul Young Declared Bankruptcy and Suffered from Devastating Family Deaths.

In 2005, to ease his pain, he started a novel and spiritual thriller, “The Shack,” while on the commuter train. Sales were 7.2 million copies. He wrote about what he knew (you know that advice) how he and his six kids lived with tragedy.

The compelling story evolved from his childhood scars including sexual abuse in New Guinea while with his missionary parents. Before he made $4 million from this book, he printed 15 copies at Office Depot early on. The revised book got passed on to a Christian podcast and Paul and two supporters networked the novel by email. Churches ordered “Windblown” a transformed title, in bulk at 88,000 copies; then 300,000 copies.

The idea is to not give up writing your story. Whether your book will brand your business, or share part of your life that will make people’s lives better, you need to start now.
