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: 29 seconds (Postcard) Yesterday I talked about finding kindred spirits through networking. Today I want to talk about one such connection. And just so you know, I'm going to break the big rule of emails: don't share more than one link. It's okay, though, because you're smart and I know you want to see everything I've included in here. In 2023, Ali and I were introduced by a mutual friend. Ali had a friend who wanted to write a book. We had a brief conversation and all I knew...

Reading Time: 29 seconds (Postcard) Hey, Reader, and Happy Monday! I'm a bit tardy sleighing into your inbox today (ahem) because yesterday was Mr. Corder's and my first date anniversary (still going strong after eighteen years). 🥰 When I met him, I knew I'd met a kindred spirit, and it was like finding a long-lost friend. Reflecting on our relationship made me think about the incredible people I've met through business networking. Have you ever met someone and felt like they were a kindred...

Reading Time: 39 seconds (5x7 Postcard) It's been a fantastic week, but man, does December fly by! Here's where I'm at, and where, my fellow empire builder, I'd like you to be too: I've got my Top 4 BHAGs set for next year, I've got my month-by-month plan to achieve them, and I've got my first 100-day plan in writing (First Monday in January, January 5th through April 15, 2026.) I've also got my Six Daily Actions identified (those are spelled out in Vision to Reality), and I've made my...
