Had you rather be a writer or a digital nomad?

Do you think RVers are more interested in being part-time writers or part-time digital nomads?

The general topic of my last book was about how to be a digital nomad while living in Costa Rica, and the one before that was about how to write and publish a nonfiction book on Amazon. What should my next book be about?

Which book do you think is selling better?

Keep reading, and I'll tell you. But first, which topic are you more interested in?

As an RVer, you are in the perfect situation to do either one part-time. Of course, you could do what I do and do both at the same time.

RVers are free to store their RVs, travel to a foreign country for a few months, and live for less money than it would cost them to stay in a campground.

And RVers have plenty of uninterrupted time to write and publish a book.

So it comes down to what they would like to do. That's one of the most significant advantages of being an RVer. You get to make decisions about what you would like to do. Even better, you can try something, and if you don't like it, you can change your mind and do something else.

As an RVer, you have four choices

• You can live in a foreign country for a few months each year
• You can write a book
• You can choose to do both
• You can choose neither and do something totally different

By the way, my book about how to write and publish a book on Amazon is selling way better than my book about being a digital nomad in Costa Rica.

The good news is that the title of the book I'm working on now is Book Marketing Magic about how to market a book. It will be published in April. At least I'm writing about the topic that more people are interested in.

I'm doing a lot of research, reading almost every popular book published on the subject, and, most of all, running several tests to determine what works and what doesn't. I'm finding some surprising test results.

When I finish, not only will I have a good book that will help a lot of writers, but it will also help me. I'm learning a lot. I will apply what I'm learning in my research and testing to help me sell my books.

Using the techniques I learned from my research and testing to sell more of my own books will be profitable, and the new book's sales will be icing on the cake.

By the way, for the last month, the royalties on my audiobooks for my previous two books are 50% more than the royalties of the eBook and printed book combined. So, seriously consider publishing the audiobook version if you write a book.

You don't have to be an expert in the subject before you start writing your book. Your book should be a combination of your knowledge, your experience, and your research. You will be an expert by the time you finish doing your research and writing your book.

Pick a topic you would like to know more about, start doing your research, and then start writing your book. You don't have to be an accomplished writer. You have to have great information. A good proofreader will fix your errors and make you look like a great writer.

Amazon will promote your book for you

My latest book is free for the next three days. Search Amazon for How to Live A Laptop Life in Costa Rica, and you can "buy" the eBook version for $0.00. When you buy the book for zero dollars, Amazon still counts it as a purchase, and if you leave a review, it will show as a review based on a "Verified purchase." And, of course, a review would be greatly appreciated.

While I'm promoting the eBook and making it available for free, Amazon is promoting the print book and making it available for $5 instead of the regular $14.95 price for a few days.

The good news about this is that even though Amazon is temporarily selling the printed version of the book for $5, they're still paying me a commission of $6.20.

Bottom line: As an RVer, you have the freedom to do exciting things. You can travel, write, or choose any one of hundreds of other things you would like to do. I think many RVers are not taking advantage of their freedom to do and experience interesting things. Don't let this happen to you.
