The results of Joanna Penn's author income survey

Early this year, Joanna Penn sent out an income survey to her followers.

She asked the authors who subscribe to her emails, listen to her podcasts, or follow her on social media which income source(s) they used.

Of the 738 respondents, 94 percent reported making income from multiple streams.

Their tips and comments are available in the latest edition of Penn’s book How to Make a Living With Your Writing, but to plant the seed in your brain if you’re relying on just one source, you can see the proportion of responses at The Creative Penn.
