What is Reddit's opinion of Write. Publish. Repeat. (The No-Luck-Required Guide to Self-Publishing Success)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you're interested in getting started with self-publishing, I would read: "Write. Publish. Repeat" by Sean Platt and Johnny Truant. Be forewarned though, there is no easy money to be had in the game anymore. I busted my ass for the first six months. A lot of people romanticize what writers do but it's really just about sitting at a keyboard and pumping out words. It takes a certain amount of crazy to keep at it. Most people quit long before they reach success. The average self-published author makes less than $200 per year. Good luck!

I haven't published yet but I've done lots of research on self publishing and it seems like the most common advice is start working on your next book. Most successful self-published authors only got there after having multiple books released.

You might also check out the book Write. Publish. Repeat.

And this series of books on self publishing by Chris Fox

If you're tempted to give it a go, then go for it. I'd advise you to think ahead, though. If you just write one book, you can expect it to swim and then drift downwards. I did originally think standalone before I started. My research quickly put that notiob to rest. I had to start with a series. I wrote my first three before even marketing which worked really well. (If you see my OP you can look at my stuff)

I highly recommend you read two books right now. One is this (essential): https://www.amazon.com/Publish-Repeat-No-Luck-Required-Self-Publishing-Success-ebook/dp/B00H26IFJS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484083927&sr=8-1&keywords=write+publish+repeat

And here's the other one - it's technically for screenwriting, but the tips in there apply to books (essential for helping you write and think about your stories): https://www.amazon.com/Story-Substance-Structure-Principles-Screenwriting/dp/0060391685/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484083965&sr=8-1&keywords=mckee+story

Hope this helps! Am happy to help you along the way, hit me up on FaceBook if you like.
