They don\u2019t make you a living and you can\u2019t retire from your day job due to your book sales. Very few authors actually make a living from their book sales. It\u2019s a very, very small percentage. The authors who make money are the ones who are leveraging the book in their business.<\/p><p>So, when does it make sense to write a book? Only if you have a business? Or can it be a good idea in other situations? This blog looks at the when and why of book writing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10713321 elementor-widget
