Cat book makes writer rich (in theory)

SmartBrief on Entrepreneurs | Dec 01, 2008

Jay Heinrichs figures his 36-page book, "Sniff It First, and 15 Other Things I Learned From My Cat," is worth about $1 million. The editorial director at Southwest Airlines' Spirit Magazine didn't actually earn that much from his venture in self-publishing, but he thinks he could have, if he had really tried. Self-publishing, he says, works on the economic principle known as the Long Tail: "Lots of little things can outsell a few big things." Thanks to the Internet, self-published authors can leverage their expertise to make money on everything from conference speeches to coffee cups. Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine (11/01)
