The new world of work is fascinating – especially for creative people, entrepreneurs, makers, crafters, or anyone interested in starting their own business. During the industrial age, people "auditioned" for the opportunity to have their creative endeavor released into the world. Those days are ending. Today, if you want to publish a book, open an online store, start a magazine or invent a new product you can – without having to audition to anyone. That's what Black Pearl Publishing is all about. We want to empower individuals to do what they love and profit from their passion. And never before has it been easier to earn a living from your craft. There's a well-known theory called "1000 true fans", originated by Kevin Kelly, which means that you only need 1000 true fans to make a living. A true fan is defined as a fan that will buy anything you produce. If each of your 1000 true fans paid $80 for your product or service, you would earn $80,000. And with over 7 billion people on the planet, you should be able to find 1000 true fans. Building your brand, an audience, and keeping it active won't be easy. However, earning a living from what you love to do is very rewarding. We provide knowledge, guidance, tools, and inspiration towards reaching your 1000 true fans (and beyond) and how to earn a living from your craft. It is an excellent time for creative people, entrepreneurs, makers, crafters, and small business owners. The world is your oyster, challenge the status quo, and be unique.
