The Truth About Author Success That Nobody Tells You

This Is Why Most Authors Stay Broke (And Invisible)

Why Authors Are LOSING Out on Sales by Being Too Perfect Most authors are waiting for the perfect moment to post. Perfect book. Perfect logo. Perfect launch. Spoiler alert: That moment doesn’t exist.

This video is for every author, coach, or creator who’s paralyzed by perfection. Watch as I install the Rising Authors Experience logo on my van and break down the real reason most author platforms don’t grow—they’re hidden.

This isn’t a tutorial. It’s a manifesto for doing it messy, documenting your process, and letting people see you.

Because your book doesn’t have legs. You do.

Key Takeaways:

• Build in public — Your journey is content. Document it.

• Done is better than perfect — Imperfection builds trust. Perfection builds procrastination.

• Show your humanity — People buy from people, not polished avatars.

• Start small — One post, one sticker, one video. Then repeat.

• Trust is the currency— And you earn it by showing up consistently.
