If nothing else, the rise of self-publishing proved that dismissing business opportunities without fully understanding them can be a big mistake. Startup costs: Zero, but ideally you'll need at least $100 for a great cover for your book. You would then ideally have another $100 for an editor and $100 to market your book once it's finished. That’s a total investment of $300 to write and publish a novel that could make back 10x – 20x what you invested in it. Income potential: A single successful book can earn you anywhere from $100 – $500 per month. A successful series of books could earn you up to $50,000 per month within your first year as an indie author. Success story: Dave Chesson is a successful publisher with several books under his belt. He blogs regularly with tips for self-publishing books and has also created Publisher Rocket that will help you find the best idea for your first (or next) book.
