Authors, don’t make the mistake of thinking that your book is your key revenue generator and that, if you market it correctly, you’ll sell a lot of books and make a lot of money. That seldom happens in the real world.
Your book should be a calling card that brings people into your funnel and encourages them to buy related products and services. It’s called “milking the cow that’s already in the barn.”
That’s what rich authors do. Steve Harrison will talk about some of those spin-off products when he hosts the free webinar, “How to Achieve a Lot More Success as an Author by Discovering the Seven Things Rich Authors Know That Poor Authors Don’t” this Thursday, Sept. 20.
Register here, and choose from the webinar at 2 p.m. Eastern Time or 7 p.m. Eastern Time. If you miss them, you won’t be able to access a replay because he doesn’t record most of his sessions.
Here are 21 spin-off products, at all pricepoints, that rich authors have created:
