7 Kinds of Indie Authors


 Why is there so much conflicting advice coming from indie-published authors? 

It’s because indie authors are as different as gymnasts, football players, and swimmers. 

Football players benefit from being big, while gymnasts benefit from being small. Increased lung capacity could help a football player, but for a swimmer, it’s vital. If a swimmer took sports advice from a gymnast, the swimmer would train in the wrong direction.

I’ve worked with indie authors for over a decade, and so far, I have found seven completely different approaches to indie publishing. 

In this article, we’ll explore each approach. We’ll discover how to make each one work, and we’ll uncover the common mistakes each kind of author should avoid. 

Once you examine the different approaches to indie publishing, you will understand why certain tactics do or don’t work for you. You’ll be much less confused when you hear indie authors recommending “bulletproof” strategies that haven’t worked for you.
