Steve Chon is a serial entrepreneur from Honolulu, Hawaii. His company is Fireworks Media, LLC.
You might have seen his recent YouTube ad for a website called Fast Financial Freedom, where he promises to stuff your pockets with an extra $300 to $1,000 per day in passive income royalties.
How? By publishing books online, on autopilot, and without having to write a single sentence yourself.
Should you buy his Kindle book publishing course? Let’s find out.
“If you want to get fast financial freedom,” Steve says in his pitch video, “and I mean real passive income and early retirement, without real estate or stocks (which require a lot of capital) or volatile crypto investments?”
“In fact, you need zero business experience to succeed with this new system,” he continues.
“It’s one of the easiest and simplest ways to make some genuine passive income online.”
“So if you’re sick and tired of all the noise and overwhelm out there? You need to know about this business model,” he insists.
Steve Chon wants you to know: he’s not a guru.
He’s been mostly in the trenches, publishing over 1,000 books since 2011.
Nothing special about him. So if he can do this, so can you.
Here’s how to go about it.
First, figure out your “freedom number.”
How much hands-free income do you need to make each month to cover all your bills and then some?
Write it down.
Now, below that, add your “why.” As the saying goes, a good why will make you smile; a great why will make you cry.
Cool. Now you need to find your “freedom lever.”
Steve’s obviously biased, but he thinks it should be self-publishing.
Which means, next, you have to think of yourself as a publisher. Not an author, not a writer, but a publisher.
Because, thing is, this is a volume business.
Even if you wanted to write these books yourself (which you probably don’t), you can only type so many words in a day, right?
So you need to focus on building a team and systems to get these books made for you, as quickly as possible.
Okay, but how do you know what types of books to make?
Simple, Steve says.
Go see what’s selling well on Amazon and Kindle and Audible right now, and just model it but maybe niche down a bit.
Like if you see a keto diet book that’s crushing it, maybe you could come out with something similar but tailor it to beginners, right?
And remember, you might not know the first thing about keto – that’s okay. Your writers will.
And they can probably whip up a better book on that topic than you ever could – and faster.
Yeah but, is it gonna cost a small fortune to get good books made?
Not according to Steve, who says, if you do it right, you can turn a $1,000 outsourcing investment into about $500 per month in passive book royalties.
So, compared to real estate or stocks, you can make greater returns with less capital and risk.
“Does that make sense?” Steve asks in a high-pitched voice, again and again, sounding like Mike Vestil’s long-lost brother.
Although, to be fair, at least Steve, here, knows what he’s talking about.
You probably still have lots of questions though.
- Where do you find these ghostwriters?
- What about cover art?
- Should you publish under your own name or a pen name?
- Do you need an ISBN number?
- How do you market these books and get reviews?
Steve’ll answer all that and more inside his mentoring program.
He doesn’t say what it costs, but you can book a “General’s Tent” Freedom Strategy Session to learn more. I think that’s code for sales call.
Saturation would be my only concern. There’s oodles of many make-money-with-Kindle courses now.
