How to Make Money With Your Book: For 7-Figure CEOs and Entrepreneurs- P 1 of 3
This is the #1 question I get, and here is my #1 answer, tried and true
Call after call, inquiry after inquiry, this is the first question nearly all aspiring authors ask.
“How can I make money off my book.”
Is it possible? Meh. Slim to none, but not impossible if the right things are already in place.
Is it likely? Nope. It’s not, and that’s the hard truth.
But lemme tell ya, and I speak from experience, that if you’re an author or soon-to-be author, then you’re asking the wrong question.
If your first question is, “How do I sell a lot of books and make lotsa dough?” you’re already doing it wrong.
The more correct question, or better one, is, “How do I use my book as leverage to make money?”
To be clear, while these may feel like the same question, they couldn’t be further from the truth. If you focus on writing your signature book and then selling tons to make some dough, good luck with that. This is the worst way to think about how to make money from your book. Trust me, I’ve been there and done that…and it’s a painful blow to any author’s ego.
