Your Fiction Author Career Starts Here: A Proven Path to Six Figures

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Rebecca Hamilton, a multi-listing New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and the only author career coach who has helped over 550 authors hit national bestseller lists while teaching hundreds more to earn six and seven figures a year writing fiction.

Today, I run the Six Figure Author Coach platform to help serious authors, whether just starting out or already established, turn their creative passion into a scalable, profitable business.

What I Do (and Why It Works)

When people ask me what I do for a living, I get to say something pretty wild:
I help fiction authors become millionaires.

And no, it’s not hype. I’m able to guarantee six-figure NET profit increases for authors who follow our methods not through fads, but through a data-driven, psychology-backed system I’ve built over the last decade.

Why So Many Fiction Authors Struggle (and How We’re Different)

Over the years, I’ve talked to thousands of authors. Most have incredible stories and even rave reviews, but their books still aren’t selling.

Here are just a few struggles I hear about daily:

• “I can’t finish my book.”

• “My Facebook ads are eating my profit.”

• “I have 5-star reviews but my backlist doesn’t sell.”

• “I’ve tried every guru’s advice, and nothing is working.”

• “My launches are flatlining, and I’m stuck.”

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s not your fault. Most authors are following outdated or flat-out wrong advice, and that misinformation is the exact reason they’re not hitting their goals.

The Myths That Hurt Author Careers

Let’s bust some of the worst industry myths we’ve heard:

•  You must chase trends or write what’s currently “hot”
• You need 30+ books in your catalog to earn real money
• Your career dies if you stop publishing every month
• Ads are only worth it if you’re already successful
• You need to spend hours every day marketing

None of that is true. And worse, it can derail your success.

What Actually Works for Six-Figure Authors

What we teach inside our programs is simple, but powerful. Here’s a taste of our approach:

1. Write what you love, but align it with what sells
2. Predict your book’s earning potential before you invest in covers or ads
3. Use launch strategies that trigger Amazon’s algorithms to work for you
4. Ensure your ads make you money every time
5. Learn to spot patterns in your data so you can scale with confidence
6. Stop guessing. Use our system to know exactly what to do next
7. Reduce time spent on marketing, and make more money in less time

This isn’t some vague “hope and hustle” model. We offer step-by-step guidance, powerful tools, and mentorship that meet you where you are. (whether you’re trying to finish your first novel or scale past a plateau.)

This Is a Proven Process, Not a Gamble

Success as an author isn’t a mystery. It’s a repeatable system, and when you follow it, you’ll stop treating your career like a gamble and start treating it like a business.

No more chasing your tail with failed strategies or playing whack-a-mole with marketing. Instead, imagine having a clear roadmap, tailored to your goals, with the data, tools, and support to actually reach them.

Yes, it takes effort. But it doesn’t require burnout. You don’t need to write every month or spend hours on TikTok. Most of our authors get to spend more time writing and living life, while their royalties roll in passively on autopilot.

Don’t Just Read About It, Be Part of It
