Ep 011: How to Just Go For it on Amazon w/ John Mikaelian

Between class, work, sports, and a social life, most college student don’t have time for anything else. This isn’t the case for John Mikaelian. John is a graduate at San Diego State University and majored in Business Administration. Somehow, John found the time to write, self-publish, and sell a book through Amazon called, Reality Check: A College Student’s Survival Guide, which outlines the positive and negative aspects of the real world. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Strategies used to fund business Self publishing has becoming really popular so my business I could say is my book. There are a lot of platforms where you can send in your book from the cover, to the text inside the book, so there really wasn’t that big of a startup cost. I was able to fund the book myself and it cost me a couple hundred dollars. Describe a moment when you felt like giving up Amazon doesn’t really do any marketing for you, so you kind of had to push your own traffic to the website, and I wasn’t really familiar on how to do that. So I decided to zero in on my target and started selling the book on college bookstores, and since then, the book has been doing well. HUGE SUCCESS One of the recent things I am proud of was that I became the president of the entrepreneurship club at Cal State Los Angeles Kryptonite I’m not a very patient person. If you can have any superpower… My superpower would be invisibility. That way I can see what students are doing when I’m not around when it comes to their startups because sometimes they might be doing shortcuts whenever I do workshops. So when I’m invisible I can sit down and find ot what they’re thinking and how they are collaborating. &nbsp; RECOMMENDED RESOURCE OR APP Evernote: For everything you’ll do, Evernote is the workspace to get it done. &nbsp; RECOMMENDED BOOKS Rich Dad Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! <a...
