Tiffany A. Greenhood exposes the predatory practices of vanity publishing companies and shares how Black authors can avoid contract traps that steal their profits and ownership rights.

• Vanity publishers like AuthorHouse and Exlibris offer publishing packages from $500-$15,000 that provide minimal value
• These companies take up to 90% of royalties while charging authors triple the printing cost for their own books
• When publishing with vanity companies, authors don't own their ISBN or often even their book cover
• Authors should always read contracts carefully and understand what rights they're signing away
• Self-publishing gives authors complete ownership and control over their intellectual property
• Global distribution means your book is available worldwide, not just on Amazon
• Marketing begins before you finish writing your book, not after publication
• Being a New York Times bestseller only requires selling 6,000 books in the first week

We explore how entrepreneurs and authors can create multiple income streams by leveraging their existing knowledge into high-value digital products, particularly focusing on selling to corporations rather than individuals.

• Digital products represent one of the most accessible ways to create passive income
• License your ebooks to corporations, schools, and organizations for $2,500-$7,000 instead of selling for $17
• Start thinking at a higher level by pursuing government contracts and institutional buyers
• Change your mindset and stop having "broke conversations" that limit your potential
• Set up professional systems like Stripe payment processing and Stan's Store to be ready when opportunities arise
• Focus on building an email list of people who want your solutions, not just social media followers
• Create multiple income streams within your existing expertise: coaching, courses, licensing, speaking, merchandise
• Be selective about opportunities and partnerships - everything isn't about money
