Any profession will cost you when you're just getting started. If you're broke, I recommend listening to my episode titled The Starving Author: How to Market Books Without Money.
Assuming you have some money, you need a spending plan. But how much money do you need to budget for the first five years of your writing career? I asked Kent Sanders, host of The Profitable Writer Podcast and founder of the Profitable Writer Community, a membership group that serves writers and helps them become more profitable.
In this week's episode, you'll learn
- How much money to set aside for writing-related expenses
- What writing tools and investments yield the best return for authors
- Which expenses you can avoid early in your career
