A proposito di questo titolo
🧾 If you’ve published a book or two and you’re thinking… “Now what?” — this episode is for you.
In Episode 53 of The Author Next Door, Angela Haas and Cassie Newell kick off the year with the unsexy-but-critical topic most authors avoid: business goals.
Because once you decide you want to earn income from your books, you’re not “just writing” anymore… you’re officially a small business owner.
In this episode, we talk about the question that changes everything:
✅ Is writing your hobby… or your career plan?
Your answer determines your path — from how you spend money to how you market, set goals, and build a sustainable author life.
We cover:
📌 The “Now What?” phase after publishing a few books
📌 How Cassie shifted from hobby mindset to business strategy (and why)
📌 Streamlining costs and getting a return on your investment
📌 Business basics authors forget: separation of expenses, systems, and tracking
📌 The KU vs Wide conversation (and why “test one thing at a time” matters)
📌 How to stop comparing yourself to full-time authors when you’re not full-time
📌 Why knowing your reader (like, really knowing them) is a business skill
📌 Short game vs long game: building a strategy you can actually sustain
✨ This episode is equal parts pep talk + practical, designed to help authors stop winging it and start making confident, intentional decisions.
👇 Question of the week:
Are you treating your writing like a hobby—or building it like a business?
