E-Books Are a Great Way to Earn Money
Here's My story
Randomly, during the summer of 2018, I decided to write a book. I had some time on my hands and I had a creative idea that I’d wanted to explore for several years.
It was now the time to do it.
I fleshed out the idea and then sat down for a total of 27 hours and wrote the book. Then I published it.
Imagine my surprise when I made $514.00 (results not guaranteed) I was addicted to working on and publishing my creative work. What’s wild to me is that everything I learned about email list building came from working on this random side-project.
