Guest Speaker: Erik Hanberg

Last Wednesday in my TINST 207 class we had Erik Hanberg as a guest speak. Erik Hanberg is a entrepreneur and is well known for publishing his own books online. He shared his life experiences and journey of writing his own novels and publishing them online through Amazon. He spoke about how easy it is to know publish your own book online in a click of a button. Erik also describe how before if he wanted his book published he would have to find an agent, marketing team, and get approval for publishing. Now you can market your own book by using social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. This made me think about the music industry and how many artist such as Childish Gambino, Macklemore, and Nipsey Hustle are all successful independent artist. Erik Hanberg main point was sharing his experiences of how the internet has altered and brought him success. Overall, his presentation was really intriguing and motivational.
