How To Become A Bestselling Author By Watching TV

Today’s guest on the Inspiring Innovation Podcast is Sean Platt. Sean has revolutionized electronic book publishing over the last two years, became bestselling author several times on Amazon and most importantly — is making a living from something that he truly loves doing. Without formal writing education, Sean is an amazing example of innovation.

His first book was rejected by the publisher. That’s where most writers stop, but for Sean it was only the beginning. He immediately went online and opened a blog where he started writing. Through that blog he met  his business partner David Wright and together they created the Collective Inkwell —  the home of their collaborative work. They adapted the business model of TV series such as ‘Lost’, ‘The Walking Dead’ and other series to digital books. Specifically speaking – creating episodes and seasons, and releasing on a weekly schedule.

IIP 004 : From Unemployed Architect To Earning $50,000 Monthly Passive Income : Story Of Pat Flynn

Inspiring Innovation Podcast
Inspiring Innovation Podcast episode 004 Get it on iTunes

Pat Flynn was rocking his career as a young architect.

Actually, Pat was one of the youngest people in the firm to ever become a Job Captain. Things were going great. He was working hard at the job he always dreamed of. He just got engaged.

Pat was one of the top performers in the company, but when the economy tanked – it didn’t matter. Everybody around him were losing their jobs. No one was building anything. The architecture market dried up completely.

One day, Pat’s Time Has Come.

He was called to his boss’s office. His safe job was gone. With no openings anywhere, Pat was stuck. What will he do with his life?

Pat Flynn
Pat Flynn – Smart Passive Income

He remembered that he heard that some people were making money from the internet. As it turned out, due to his rigorous studying habits, he was sitting on “internet gold”. That’s how the story of one of today’s most inspiring and influential internet entrepreneur began.

Today Pat is the proud owner of Smart Passive Income, and is running a business generating over $50,000 monthly. How? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What it takes to succeed with your online business
  • How Pat earned $7,905 dollars on the first month of launching his first online product – and why it wasn’t an “overnight success”
  • How Pat added more businesses to his portfolio
  • How Pat runs his iPhone apps business
  • Why he shares his detailed monthly income report online
  • How Pat converted an avid hater to a fan
  • Pat’s tips for a new entrepreneur – do you need to follow a passion? and more!
  • How to find your unfair advantage and use it to stand out and succeed in a saturated niche
  • Who inspires Pat, and Pat’s favorite resources
  • How I scored this interview with Pat, and what’s the important lesson I learned from the process
