You might not consider yourself a business person, but if you want to take your writing from a hobby and make some money off of it, you may want to brush up on some business information.

One way to help put yourself above the rest is through data... dry... boring data. But that's not to say all data is the same, and one particular report from authorearnings.com caught our eye and we thought we would go over some of the interesting bits in today's podcast.

We hope that you find the information as interesting as we did! Be sure to let us know what you thought in the comments below.
