He Lost His Job and Became a Full-Time Author in 18 Months (Here's How)

Are you wondering how to build your author career from zero to full-time?

Aaron Hall lost his job 3 weeks after buying his first home. Instead of panicking, he went all-in on his author career. 18 months later, he's a full-time indie author making a living from book sales, mostly paperbacks and audiobooks.

In this episode, Aaron shares the exact social media strategy that took him from selling 100 books a month to over 2,000, how one viral video changed everything, why he prices his paperbacks at $19.99, and the advice he got from Zach (S.D.A. Monte) that forced him to take content seriously.

Whether you're trying to go full-time or just want to sell more books, this one's packed with actionable stuff.
