- What are the biggest joys of ebook writing and what are the detractors?
I'm sure there are detractors, but, right now, it is nice to look at the benefits of writing your own ebook. Angela tweeted out her four benefits:
- increased subscribers
- increased visibility and authority on your topic
- increased revenue
- increased authority as a writer
1) Increased subscribers. The UTH Manifesto has brought triple-digit newsletter subs each month since I started offering it. #socialcafe
