Welcome to the Self Publishing School podcast. This is the podcast to listen to if you're an

aspiring writer or an author who wants to be more successful. On this show, you'll learn how to

write and launch a book successfully, all from the top authors and people just like you

who are doing it at the highest level. I'm your host, Chandler Bolt, the founder

of self-publishing school, the author of the book called Published and the CEO of

Selfpublishing.com. For free training on how to publish a book that sells 10,000 copies,

Hey, everybody, Chandler Bolt here. And joining me today is our very on self-publishing

school graduate, one of the most successful students in the program, Lease Cartwright.

And I'll give you a little bit of background on Lease. Lease's bestselling author and a coach based in Auckland, New Zealand, and she writes her books

and her blog for time poor entrepreneurs and new freelancers looking for actionable information

to help them move forward in their business, whether they're just starting out or just

need help moving forward in achieving their goals.

Now, Lisa, she's got an amazing story and really the numbers speak for themselves.

She's been a writing machine.

And over the last 10 months, she's gotten 14 books out, all from scratch.

We're not talking ghost writers.

And also, we're not talking crappy, really bad quality books, just pumping them out and not caring. We're talking good books and a really engaged community off of these books. People who love them can't wait to buy the next one and the next one and the next one and who are begging for more. So I think that's been pretty exciting

and also built an income of a few grand a month and that's only building. I mean, she's so busy

writing right now that it's just put the book out there and she doesn't even spend a ton of time

on the marketing portion of it. But that really is as you're building an author platform.

That is the recipe for success up front
