Summary

Hello! And welcome to the And She Rises (The F*ck Up) — the podcast. We’re so happy you’re here.

We’re resharing this special throwback episode (featuring Cara Alwill) today because Self-Published is open for enrollment! Cara and I have taken everything we know about self-publishing — from writing the book, to finding your editor (if you want one), to marketing it, and manifesting the results you want — and poured it into this course. If there is a book in you, and you know there is, let’s get it out and into the world.

Self-publishing vs. traditional publishing
Debunking the myths of self-publishing
Starting your book journey
Overcoming limiting beliefs about writing your book
Stepping into bestseller energy

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the and she rises the fuck up the podcast. I'm your host, Amanda Francis,
0:20.2	and I am laying here at the doctor's office at my
0:23.8	OB. I just finished an NST and on stress test for the baby girl. Everything looked good.
0:32.3	And I decided to take a moment to record today's intro on a Friday instead of a Saturday. I don't
0:39.0	know if you know this about me, but I don't usually do things ahead of time. Like I write
0:44.1	cells pages the second before they, before things open for enrollment. I write emails or update
0:54.0	previous emails, the moment before we send them out.
0:57.6	There's not a lot of planning or batching. I mean, there is planning, but I finish my part and
1:04.1	execute. I finish my part and then me and the team execute within moments. Anyway, so we're working
1:09.4	ahead today, which is nice, but it's our last weekend
1:13.6	before the baby comes probably, assuming she doesn't come, you know, today. Fingers crossed,
1:21.0	it's our last weekend, and I just want to get this done. Okay, so we have a great episode for you. So as you may know, my self-publishing
1:32.0	journey is one I really believe in, one I hope people draw inspiration from. It's a story of,
1:42.0	as many parts of my life have been, doing things your own time and in your own way,
1:46.3	but also saying no to anyone or anything that isn't fully in support or in line with what you want to do and who you want to be.
1:54.8	And you may have heard me tell this story, but when I started, when I decided it was time to write my book and I started talking to publishers, I was not impressed.
2:03.4	I had run the numbers and I knew how much I could make as a self-published author.
2:08.8	I knew it could become a real substantial stream of income.
2:12.2	And when I found out that if I went with a traditional publisher, I got like 15% of every book sold. And if I self-published,
2:19.5	I got more like 70% of every book sold. I was like, how is this legal? Like, how is this okay?
2:26.3	And I get fired up about it because I don't think it's okay. Now, for some people,
2:31.3	traditional publishing may be the right path, but for me it was not, and I am so proud of what I did on my own in my way as I do, as I've always done, doing my thing.
