How Authors Really Make Money

Most people believe authors make a lot of money from book sales.
While this is true of many best-selling authors, the bulk of the money most likely comes from other sources. J.K. Rowling makes a fortune from the Harry Potter tie-in products.

To learn more about getting paid as a speaker, read Lilly Waters' book "1001 Ways to Make More Money as a Speaker, Consultant, or Trainer".
