Description

If you talk to any career writer, especially those who have been at it for a while, you’ll discover that the vast majority of them do several different things.


In my experience, most full-time writers do a mix of client work in addition to their own projects. Regardless of the specific kinds of client work they do, or the particular projects they create for themselves, the common element is that they have multiple streams of income.


Their careers are like diamonds that sparkle from several angles. Each of those angles represents a different line of products or services.


That’s certainly true of my guest today, John David Mann.


John is the author, ghostwriter, or co-author of dozens of books in multiple genres, including personal development, business parables, military memoir, and thriller. His many, many titles include The Go-Giver (with Bob Burg) and The Finn Thriller series (with Brandon Webb), which is currently in development for a streaming series. Many of his books have been NY Times bestsellers.


In this conversation, which was a guest expert session from my Profitable Writer membership, John shares how he has developed a multi-faceted writing career that includes collaborations, courses, client work, and more.


I was really inspired by this conversation, and I know will be, too! You can find out more about John’s writing and work at https://johndavidmann.com.
