Hey guys, so this past Thursday in Side Hustling Episode 10 which I'll link to below, we covered the story of Amanda who made a blog to keep her recipes together and grew it into an ebook cookbook which makes over $2,000 per month. I'll link to the episode below incase you missed it...

In today's video I just wanted to ramble a bit and follow-up a bit on this type of hustle, and how you can get something similar going yourself.

If you enjoy cooking you can come up with your own cookbook catering to a special cooking niche. In this video we discuss things like Ital, Halal, and Vegan. But not only that, there's one specialty cookbook which is for vegan college students who may not have a lot of ingredients or a large kitchen or much kitchen equipment, an even smaller niche or subset of vegan cooks.

The cookbook idea is good for people who are poor writers as well as your really just copying recipes and adding a little copy describing the recipe and level of difficulty.

For those of you who enjoy writing or are better writers there's an endless amount of topics, niches, and subject matters you could delve into.

In this video just wanted to expand upon and offer a few more ideas into how you can start your own Kindle KDP publishing business or how you can publish content and sell it direct yourself on a platform like Gumroad for example. 

We also delve into how you can scale this business by hiring writers to churn out even more content and more books than you could do on your own, and how to go about doing that.

If you are a publishers yourself I'd love to hear from you, drop a comment below. If this is something your thinking about getting into but have some questions, again, feel free to drop a comment below...
