12/19/24 The "lazy" way to scale your book business (that actually works)


Reading time: 1 quick minute

Hi Reader!

Yesterday I promised to share that counterintuitive scaling idea that came to me during my "high maintenance" rest days?

Here it is: The most effective way to scale your book business is to do less, but do it deeper.

I know, I know--it might sound completely backwards! But here's what I mean:

Instead of creating 5 different courses, what if you took your best course and made it absolutely extraordinary?

Instead of launching three coaching programs, what if you focused on making one program so transformative that your clients can't stop talking about it?

My "Deep Scale Strategy" is how I've helped authors turn single books into multiple six-figure businesses without burning out.

Think about it like this: Would you rather have 10 shallow streams of income that constantly need your attention, or 2-3 deep rivers that flow steadily with less maintenance?

This is why I'm such a stickler about authors choosing their income streams carefully. When you go deep instead of wide, you actually create more impact with less effort.

Want to see exactly how this works? I share all about it in Building a Million Dollar Book Business--my course that is truly a deep dive into exactly how to build six- and seven-figure income streams (including step-by-step instructions with videos, downloadable agreements and templates, and so much more).

Get the course here: https://honoreecorder.com/bmdbb/ and use code subscriber to save 30%. For less than the cost of a latte a day, you can buy lattes for everyone, every single day, with some serious income streams in place. (Make mine a Cuban!)

I'll see you tomorrow!

Reading time: < 30 seconds One book was an income stream. Scratch that--one book was two income streams (at first): book and ebook. A book and a workbook--well, now we're talking four income streams. Now with the availability of POD (print on demand) hardcover and easily accessible audiobooks, each book and companion is four income streams, each! So a book and a companion product (workbook, journal, companion guide, to name three) can be a package, a system, a reason for readers to come back....

Okay, I can't believe it's Saturday (where did the week go?). January was such a long year, February was a flash and now we're in the final month of Q1. Wait, what?! The number of you who've replied and said you'd never heard of this book (Stop Trying So F*cking Hard) reminded me that it's always a great idea to keep marketing your book--even if you're tired of talking about it, there's someone who hasn't heard of it (and would really like to). If you have a book you haven't talked about in...

I've been really busy lately, running out of daylight or brainpower (sometimes not in that order). I've got a lot going on--I know you do, too--and even though I fall asleep (according to my SleepNumber bed) in less than one minute, I've been waking up at 3 a.m. I know, that is super early, and it's a full hour and a half earlier than I usually get up (and 4:30 isn't exactly late, either). Those extra 90 minutes can mean the difference between me being creative and me counting the hours until...
