Each month, I work with a small number of fellow retirees who want to use their writing skills to earn extra income.
“I’ve been retired for four years, and have tried driving for Uber and DoorDash to earn extra cash. When you count fuel costs, earnings are minimal.
“I spent most of my career writing proposals, and I NEVER wanted to engage in that type of work again.
About a year ago, I started writing short books for technical experts and service providers. Also called mini books, they are 80-100 pages and solve a problem or present a single idea, process, or framework.
My first client paid me $3,500 for an 80-page brief book that I completed in 30 days.
The second one wanted a more comprehensive package and paid me $5,000.”
If you can write a blog post or a Medium article, you can write a short book.
The book chapters are limited to a single idea, just like a blog post or article.
Brief books benefit clients because they:
- Clarify their thinking for others
- Elevate their professional reputation
- Articulate a unique point of view
- Attract better career opportunities
- Present their framework or process
Experts in most fields possess the expertise and budget to pay writers like you and me to extract and package it into a short book.
What they don’t have is the time—or interest—to write the book themselves.
This is for you if you:
● already have strong writing fundamentals
● value precision and professionalism
● prefer fewer, higher-quality clients
● want to work with experts and consultants
● do not want to build a content-heavy personal brand
