5 Business Models Behind Books [Zoom Workshop]


Hello Reader,

How do authors build a thriving business around their published work?

Spoiler alert: it's not by selling more books.

In my work over the past decade with authors, coaches, and speakers, I have been behind-the-scenes of multiple 6- and 7-figure businesses. I've seen how their businesses are structured, developed the commercial offers they make to their audience, and learned firsthand what's working, and what's a waste of time.

Next week, I'm teaching a free workshop for the Authorverse community, called 5 Business Models Behind Books.

In this live, interactive Zoom workshop, attendees will learn:

  • Five Proven Business Models: Learn how other successful authors have transformed their books into thriving businesses.
  • Four Types of Commercial Offers: Discover how you can leverage your book to create ongoing revenue streams that support your author’s lifestyle.
  • Revenue Calculator: a simple spreadsheet that can help you compare the 4 types of commercial offers, and decide where you should focus your efforts.

Published authors have already taken a significant step in establishing their authority and credibility as an expert. But turning that expertise into a sustainable and profitable business - that takes a different skillset than writing a book.

Helping experts and entrepreneurs set up smart marketing systems that grow their impact, income, and influence is the work that I do.

If you're a published (or aspiring) author, come to next week's workshop, and I will share my best insights on how authors grow their business.

This workshop is designed to provide you with actionable insights that you can apply immediately. Let’s work together to turn your book into the most powerful business card you’ve ever created.

Hello Reader, ChatGPT has me much less enthusiastic about writing and publishing. In the nearly two years since consumer-facing AI chatbot apps have been made available, as a writer, I have found my own interest in writing has been diminishing. I find it harder to send newsletters, write my next book, and post on social media, because I have two choices: Continue writing by hand (which I love to do) and take more time about it than others do, or Use AI to spend more time editing bland copy,...
