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: 15 seconds Yesterday I mentioned You Must Market Your Book is turning 3. It occurred to me that most authors approach book marketing like they're defusing a bomb. You know ... Sweaty palms. Racing heart. Total paralysis. Also, totally unnecessary! It doesn't have to be that way. This shouldn't be a secret, but well, maybe it is? Your marketing plan should fit you*—not be a one-size-fits-all mega-process that requires 47 hours a week and a second mortgage. Tomorrow I will share a...

Reading Time: 20 seconds It’s the 3rd book birthday for You Must Market Your Book — and if you’re new, you might not know this book was crafted to help you design a book marketing action plan in alignment with: The job of the book, plus Your personality, Your budget, and Your available time Contrary to what most “book marketing experts” (ahem) talk about, the most effective book marketing is customized. It’s fun and easy to put your plan together, when you know how. (And, nope, it doesn’t...

Reading Time: 45 seconds I hope yesterday's email hit home for you—and that you're still going strong on those 2026 goals. I wanted to share more about one aspect of yesterday's topic: my mention of the "don't miss two days in a row" part of my overall philosophy isn't something I just made up. It's one of the core principles my co-author Ali Hemyari and I explore in The Success Code. Ali went from broke to building multiple seven-figure businesses by being persistent. By pressing the reset...
