Ep 21: How To Be An International Best Seller Before You're 21 with Mark Messick

September 30, 2015

 
When I was 16, my greatest accomplishment was passing my AP exam. When Mark Messick turned 16, he became an international best seller with 9 books currently on Amazon.
 
What stuck out to me was that his books were titled, Why Your Life Sucks or How Bad Do You Want It? or Live the Life You Want. Not the typical stuff you would expect from someone his age, but Mark is pretty legit.
 
Last June, he brought in $4,000 that month and continues to earn money passively as he writes more books. Mark is helping thousands of readers with his writing and for a guy his age, it's pretty inspiring to witness this.
 
But can anyone be an author? What should you even write about? Why should you even consider writing a book?
 
I personally hated writing throughout high school. But today, I'm a best selling author and I write every day.
 
Strange how the world works huh?
 
Mark explains exactly how to self publish your own book. Going from the idea phase, to writing, to dominating the Amazon space... For anyone interested in building their credibility, sharing their knowledge, and tackling a once impossible challenge, Mark is here to show you how it's all done.
 
Plus, his story is pretty fucking motivating. Esp. to me, so listen on.
