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: Postcard (<30 seconds) There's a huge difference between struggling professionals and rainmakers. Do you know what it is? ICYMI: Rainmakers have and follow a system. They know exactly who they must meet, when and how and how often to follow up, and to give value (that ultimately gets returned tenfold). You might have heard me say it before, "Success isn't a secret, it's a system." If you don't have a system, even if you're successful, you won't be as successful as you can be....

Reading Time: Postcard (<30 seconds) My friends in sales will be nodding effusively as I share this statistic: 80% of all sales happen after the 7th touch point. And yet, 44% of professionals give up after one follow-up. Wait, what?! Surely this isn't the first time you've heard this. Now obvi if you're reading this email (thank you) you're extra smart and do not fall in the bottom half of follow-uppers. I mean, seriously. But while it's no wonder most people never reach their goals, I want...

Reading Time: Postcard (<30 seconds) I used to have a stack of business cards, tons of connections, and zero referrals. Why? Because I didn't intentionally cross The Trust Bridge—you might know this one--it's the journey from "Nice to meet you" to "I trust you enough to refer my best clients and connections." This meant fewer business cards on my desk, more contacts at my fingertips with genuine connections. If you want your inbox to be a hotbed of introductions and "I'm ready to hire you...
