[Live Tomorrow] 5 Business Models Behind Books


Hello Reader,

In 24 hours, I'll be going live with the Authorverse community to teach my newest workshop, '5 Business Models Behind Books.'

Here are the 5 books I will be using to illustrate the 5 business models:

(Yes, I am using my own book as an example. Teacher's prerogative. 😁)

In working with so many experts and entrepreneurs over the past decade, I have been on the back-end of many businesses that rely on a published book as the cornerstone of their positioning.

The 5 business models I will share tomorrow are:

  1. Celebrity
  2. Coach
  3. Consultant
  4. Trainer
  5. Thought Leader

Register for my workshop tomorrow, and I'll share detailed case studies for each one, as well as a copy of my Revenue Calculator.

This Google Sheet help you calculate which of the 4 types of offers you should focus on next: 1-1, 1-Few, 1-Many, or 1-Any.

Your book is the most expensive business card you will ever create. The costs of time, money, and creativity you invest in your book should pay off. Learn these 5 Business Models Behind Books to get the best return on your investment.

If you are a published author (or you aspire to be one, but wonder how a book-based business can be financially successful) then register for my free Zoom workshop tomorrow:
