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: 46 seconds I’ve learned a lot from working with hundreds (thousands!) of writers: The question someone asks is rarely the real problem. Someone asks me about a title, but what they’re really asking is, “Will this book reach the right people?” Someone asks about rapid release, but what they’re really asking is, “How do I build momentum without burning out?” Someone asks how to market their book, but what they’re really asking is, “How do I do this in a way that actually fits who...

Reading Time: 33 seconds Over the years, I’ve noticed something, Reader. No matter which course someone is in, there are always a handful of questions that come up again and again. Questions like: “Is this the right title and subtitle for my book?” “What’s the job of my book — and how do I know if it’s doing that job?” “Should I do rapid release… or space my books out?” “How do I actually build an advance reader team that works?” “What should I do next once the book is done?” These are not...

Reading Time: 30 seconds There's a whole lot of "new year, new you" going on right now--and I think the old you is probably just great. I also think you probably want to have a really great year--one where you feel like you left everything you could on the mat and made the most of the year. Yesterday I got to give an impromptu talk to a networking group about this very topic, and I thought I'd share my talking points with you. I'll start by sharing where I focus my time: Publishing 10-20...
