As a writer, you’ve heard it all: “You can’t make money as a writer.” “Writing is a hobby, not a career.” “Nobody’s reading anymore.”


First, no. Second, only if you want it that way. And, third, absolutely no.


In this episode of Business Models for Creators, I’m chatting with bestselling and money-making author, Juliette N. Banks. And, when I say “bestselling,” I mean hundreds of thousands of books sold bestselling. 

Juliette shares how she became such a popular author, how she became profitable as an author, and how she keeps her ideas (and the money) flowing.


“We write a book. We love writing it. We have fun writing it. And it ticks all our boxes for being a writer and an author. Then we have a product. And if we want it to be a business and make money, we have to think like that.” —Juliette N. Banks


Highlights from the episode:

  • What is rapid release publishing?
  • Why do you need to treat being an author like a business?
  • How do you keep the ideas flowing?
  • Should you go wide or exclusive as an author?
  • Why would you choose self-publishing over traditional publishing?
  • What do talking bananas have to do with selling books?

Juliette N. Banks is a bestselling romance author who has taken the genre by storm with her popular series The Moretti Blood Brothers, The Dark Kings of NYC, and The Dufort Dynasty. She writes both contemporary and paranormal page-turning romances with hot heroes you'll fall in love with. Juliette has a vast background in consumer marketing and was previously published with Random House.
