Hi

Welcome to the first edition of From Idea to Income, your no-nonsense, slightly humorous guide to writing books and self-publishing without the existential crisis.

As an IT trainer, I've spent years helping people work smarter, not harder. Turns out, the same rules apply to writing. So, let's ditch the overwhelm and start small.

Start Small, Win Big

Ever stared at a blank page, paralysed by the idea of writing a 300-page masterpiece? Same. Here's the secret: Don't.

Start with a low-content book (think: a client to-do list or meeting notes template) or even just one chapter. Small wins build momentum and momentum builds books.

Need a Roadmap?

If you're itching to create a low-content book but don't know where to begin, my Publish in 5 Steps course is your GPS. It covers:

✅ Finding a profitable idea

✅ Researching & validating it

✅ Creating & self-publishing it

Practical, straightforward, and designed to get you publishing quickly.

Pro tip: If someone scoffs at your book idea, remember: They’re not your reader.

Your audience is out there, eager, supportive, and waiting for your words.
