The outline that became a course (in one sitting)

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Reading time: < 30 seconds

To continue from yesterday, the first order of business when creating Building a Million Dollar Book Business was to write down all of my income streams.

  • companion guide
  • courses
  • consulting
  • speaking
  • training
  • certifications
  • etc...

Then create a syllabus of what I would use to teach someone how to replicate what I had done.

Taking pen to paper, I made an extensive outline of talking points, lessons learned, take-aways, and to-dos (oh yeah, and the not to-dos!).

In less than 20 minutes, I had the majority of the course sketched out. Now don't think "I can outline and be ready to do my course in 20 minutes." I'm not saying that all. But I am saying you can make major progress in a short time, which should empower you to keep rolling.

I shared a solid overview with insights in here. You might want to get the course, too, if monetizing your book is on your to-do list.

Tomorrow, you get to read about how you can make money before you develop your course. Proof of concept, anyone?

I'll BRB!

Reading time: < 30 seconds 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...

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...
