What I thought a book would do. I was so wrong!

Following Mark Victor Hanson's advice, "You must write a book," and my subsequent fifteen (or more) questions (I mean, it's shocking he doesn't remember my version of the Spanish Inquisition, right?!), he suggested:

  • I craft my first book around a popular talk I was giving at the time
  • I do 7 things every day to market my book
  • and more (more on those extras later)

So I wrote and published (quite poorly, the first time around) the original Tall Order! Seven Master Strategies To Organize Your Life and Double Your Success In Half The Time. (Obviously my book title-ing skills needed improvement.)

What I thought would be my biggest stream of income was the royalties. What I didn't realize I could look at a book as a revenue-generating business asset, or that I could turn it into MSIs (multiple streams of income). Turns out, there are countless income streams one can build around a book.

More on that, tomorrow! See you then.

Reading time: < 30 seconds Super big nerd alert: In 2004, I was attending a conference and I met the Mark Victor Hansen. Now our conversation changed my life, apparently I didn't make an impression. As luck would have it, I did a book with Joe Polish (who is close friends with MVH). I got to FaceTime with him and he was psyched our encounter made a difference. As an aside, always be nice. People might be telling others of their encounter with you a couple of decades from now. Make sure they...

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....

Okay, I can't believe it's Saturday (where did the week go?). January was such a long year, February was a flash and now we're in the final month of Q1. Wait, what?! The number of you who've replied and said you'd never heard of this book (Stop Trying So F*cking Hard) reminded me that it's always a great idea to keep marketing your book--even if you're tired of talking about it, there's someone who hasn't heard of it (and would really like to). If you have a book you haven't talked about in...
