4.7.26 Weekly Book Business Brief

Reading time: ~2 min Happy Tuesday, and welcome to the Weekly Book Business Brief — your weekly shot of strategy, tools, and real talk for authors building a book-based business. Let's get into it. 🎂 BOOK BIRTHDAY April 10 is a big day around here — Vision to Reality turns 2 (Second Edition). She doesn't look a day over “I just discovered something that’s about to make everything happen faster and easier.” 🎂 Three decades ago, I designed what eventually became the STMA™ framework for myself...

Reading time: < 60 seconds Happy Tuesday! In case you missed me yesterday, there's no need for concern. While I don't usually keep secrets from you, I've been sitting on two cool project for a while, and they're starting to take on some serious momentum. You may have read when I talked about Project 100 (and asked 100 of you to join in the fun). What started as an ambitious goal has quietly grown into something even bigger: another huge project and Project 200. (More details on them are...

Reading time: < 30 seconds If you've been meaning to grab The Bestselling Book Formula and/or the mini-course, now's your moment. I know the book title and all the things say "bestselling," but it's my intent you have a best earning book. Regardless of how you earn money from your book: royalties, multiple income streams via coaching, consulting, certifications, courses, companion guides, speaking, training, or even a mastermind (to mention just a few possibilities), the content of your book...

Reading time: < 30 seconds The Bestselling Book Formula book is short by design. You can read it in under an hour. I did that on purpose because the formula itself is simple, and I didn't want to bury it in extra words just to make the book feel more substantial. (There's a whole chapter about why that's a bad idea.) But some of you want more. (I know, you've told me!) You want to sit with each key and actually apply it to your work-in-progress. You want guidance as you make decisions about...

Reading time: < 30 seconds As promised, here are Keys #3 and #4—and this is where The Bestselling Book Formula gets really fun. 🔑 Key #3: Easy to Do Every long-term bestseller I analyzed in my pursuit of earning excellence has a reason it was successful--and a formula. This formula isn't vague, and it's an actual, repeatable process readers can follow. (It's also easy. Otherwise your readers can't--won't--do it. Which means no bestselling book for you!)) The SAVERS from The Miracle Morning....

Reading time: < 30 seconds I promised the first two keys in The Bestselling Book Formula and here they are: 🔑 Key #1: Easy to Read First and foremost, your book must be easy to read. Don't get confused, I don't mean "dumbed down," or elementary. Hint: The average American reads at a 7th grade level. Make no mistake, though, even highly educated readers prefer content that doesn't make them "work." Who has ever put down a book and said, "That was just too easy to read." (Not one person. Ever.)...

Reading time: < 30 seconds I read a book recently and could not, for the life of me, remember the name. It had been a gift (no Amazon purchase history), wasn't on Kindle (couldn't look for it that way), and the title wasn't "the best." Really fun book, made an impact, no idea who wrote it or what the title was. Has this ever happened to you? You read a book, loved it, and then tried to recommend it to someone, only to completely blank on the title or the author's name? (Come on, throw me a...

Reading time: < 30 seconds Three years ago this week, The Bestselling Book Formula came into the world. But you know what? I almost didn't write it. I sent a newsletter about the book-writing formula I'd been using for years. I'd discovered a way to analyze why some books sell for decades (while others hardly ever sell). My friend and ghostwriter-extraordinaire Kent Sanders read it and said the sentence that got me thinking: "This needs to be a book." I wasn't sure it had legs, but after some...

Reading time: < 30 seconds It's the 2nd book birthday for You Must Monetize Your Book. I promised to share where my income streams start. It's a one-word answer: decision. Every income stream I've built started with a single decision: to take what I knew and turn it into something that could serve people at a scale big enough to make an impact. Your book can do the same. The only question is: what will you build first? If you already know, or are contemplating an idea, press reply and tell...

Reading time: < 30 seconds You Must Monetize Your Book turns two this month, and here's what I learned: To have a book you can effectively repurpose starts with the blank page Income streams continue to grow, evolve, and compound over time There are always new income streams you can develop, and You must put them through the same filters I talk about in the book Tomorrow I'm sharing where every income stream I've built has started. See you then! Honorée Corder. Author. Executive Book...
