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: Holiday Missive (59.82 seconds) You’re closer than you think to holding your book in your hands -- and you don’t have to take my word for it. Let me tell you about one of my authors. For about 15 years, Joe wanted to write a book. He thought about it. Talked about it (a lot). But he didn’t take action — until he picked up a copy of You Must Write a Book and realized it was finally time. He followed my process step-by-step, and within 11 months, he held his first proof in his...

Reading Time: Postcard (15 seconds) How is it Monday already? As my mom used to say, "Time flies when you're having fun." 🤭 There are two things you can do between now and 12/31: You can decide you're going to see how much juice you can get out of your 2025 lemon. Or, You can take your foot off the gas, coast through New Year's, and then ramp up your momentum again after the 1st. There's no right or wrong answer--only you can decide if you've done all you can or want to do this year.* I'm...

Reading Time: Postcard (25 seconds) Happy Saturday! Since it's the weekend before Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share something I'm grateful for: the power of intentional rest. I mentioned taking my foot off the gas on Day 101--and I'm definitely looking forward to that. But don't get this part wrong about intentional rest--it doesn't mean doing nothing. Strategic rest is actually part of your work. When I rest after completing my 100-days, I'm not just lying around, counting my chickens. I'm...
