Startup Stories - Mixergy show

Summary: Today I’ve got an author which may seem a little different but it’s really not. I used to think that authors don’t actually make money from their books. I thought they built up a reputation and make money selling consulting services but that the books are kind of a loss. And then I met today’s guest. Mark Dawson is an author who’s written 25 books. In addition to writing books he’s also teaching people how to self-publish through courses at Self Publishing Formula. Even if you’re not selling books, the marketing tactics that he uses to sell his books will work in other areas outside the publishing world. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/self-publishing-formula-with-mark-dawson/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/self-publishing-formula-with-mark-dawson/?get-twitter-card=true&amp;" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Mark Dawson ia a best selling author of over 25 fiction books.
