Kevin Kruse is a New York Times bestselling author who decided to leave his 9-to-5 job this past January so he could devote himself full-time to his passion: writing and publishing books.

He’s been blogging about the experience and sharing all of his strategies and even income reports on his blog. And just last week, he announced he hit his goal of earning $100,000 from his publishing and speaking engagements.

In our conversation, Kevin shares some of the strategies he uses to plan and write his books, his email marketing strategies, how he leverages his books into lucrative speaking engagements, and how he uses social media.

And, speaking of email marketing, I’d like to share an announcement: there’s a free email course available from the folks at Leadpages. They’ve generously put together a 9 part course that walks you step-by-step through everything you need to know to grow your email list, and turn subscribers into customers. And best of all, it’s completely free.
