I did it kicking and screaming (well, not screaming but definitely kicking)

As I mentioned yesterday, my new Nashville buddy insisted I build a course, because "Everybody talks about how to publish a book. Nobody talks about how to monetize it! A course on monetizing a book would be huge."

I didn't care how much I could make, the process felt too complex and overwhelming. Remember: a confused mind says, "Nope." Which is what I did.

He kept insisting, and offered to do the heavy lifting (so I could just be "the talent.") 🤣 So, over the next couple of months, we co-created Build a Million Dollar Book Business and after a pretty successful launch of my own, I was hooked!

That course launched in 2019 and it is still a fan favorite (and it sells).

In case you're wondering, I put everything I learned from Mr. 300K Course Launcher in here. I made the mistakes and learned what works, so you can go right to the good stuff.

Tomorrow, I'll help you to write down the bones in less than 20 minutes.

See you then!

Reading time: < 30 seconds When I moved to Nashville in 2018, I didn't know a soul. Turns out there are a lot of really cool folks in the publishing and publishing-adjacent spaces. Not long after I got here, one of them sent me a DM on Facebook (which I now avoid as though it does not exist). Anyway. He introduced himself (I was a fan) and we met for breakfast. He shared about a course he had launched, which had grossed nearly $300,000 during it's first weekend launch. I thought he was...

Reading time: < 30 seconds The idea for a journal which led to a workbook taught me something profound--my readers didn't want information. Just like when you go to the stationery store, you don't want envelopes and note cards. You want something special that helps develop a relationship. I was simultaneously solving their problems and adding a force multiplier to my business. Putting two and two together helped me think about crafting income streams. But while it's about you, it's not...

Reading time: < 30 seconds One book was an income stream. Scratch that--one book was two income streams (at first): book and ebook. A book and a workbook--well, now we're talking four income streams. Now with the availability of POD (print on demand) hardcover and easily accessible audiobooks, each book and companion is four income streams, each! So a book and a companion product (workbook, journal, companion guide, to name three) can be a package, a system, a reason for readers to come back....
