From the video, it is $2500 for a 25,000 word book, written in 25 days. That is $100 per day writing 1000 words per day. If this takes you 8 hours per day, that is $12.50 per hour. If you can do this every month, that is $30,000 per year. A comfortable wage for some people, and poverty wages for others. It also seems like a difficult pace to research a topic and write 1000 words per day, and seems like miserable work.

It probably hardly takes 8 hours a day. More like 3-4 or even 2. 8 hours for 1000 words is for much higher quality 1000 words...


Yes, sorry - 25000 words, too late to edit my comment. But it sounds like miserable work, writing on something you are an expert in, or are interested it sounds like a great way to improve your skills and make a bit of money. But researching, writing, and editing content on a made up topic for some charlatan book publishers sounds aweful.


No. From the video it is $250 for a 25,000 word book. Go to 48 minutes.
