BTB22: Tyler Wagner on How Authors Hit the WSJ Bestsellers List

Before the Bestseller


Tyler Wagner is the founder of Authors Unite where they’ve helped hundreds of authors become WSJ bestsellers. 

After learning how to self publish back in the early days of Amazon publishing – he’s build an empire helping others do the same. 

I wanted to know what it takes to become a WSJ bestselling author so I brought on Tyler to talk about their exact system for doing so.

He’s also a crazy cool entrepreneur going from 3K a month to 8-figures and so I wanted to talk to him about his entrepreneurial journey.
