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: Short note Did it surprise you when I said: you are the best person to market your book? A bit more on this: the most successful authors aren't always the best writers or even the best marketers--but they sure do have a vision before they write a single word. Most authors finish their manuscript, then turn an eye toward how to market it. If you want a book that practically markets itself, you build marketing into the book, not bolted it on after. If you already have a book and...

Reading Time: Postcard I am frequently asked if I know someone who can help with book marketing. It is never as simple as someone thinks it should be: I've written a book, surely there's someone who can help me talk about it out in world. The answer is unexpected, but after 21 years and 68 books this is what I know to be the true answer: Yes, I do. It's you, you are the book who can help with your book marketing. Before you write a single word: Identify what you want the book to do for you...

Reading Time: 4x6 Postcard It's Sunday and I'm going to read like it's my job today! Oh, wait ... 😊 But first, I got a question about the algorithms you might want to know the answer to, too.: Aren't the (Amazon) algorithms constantly changing, so there's really no way to engage them? I know for a fact this is both true and false at the same time. Yes, they are always changing. And yes, you can engage (read: train) them. Think of your book as a baby (not your baby) and you want to keep that...
