If you haven’t heard, you can flip a book into a business or at the very least, a few additional streams of income to secure the book bag.
Back in the day authors were just obsessed with how many books they sold and charting on a best sellers list, but these days a book can be the direct path to snagging a ridiculous, supersized knapsack.
If the goal is to sell 500 books, know this: you aren’t going to sell the bulk of them at a book expo or festival. Why? Because the vendors at those events are all doing the same thing and you, my fellow scribe, need to be different. Not sixth toe different, but different like Prince, the only guy to rock the hell out of black eyeliner and convince me that he’ll be there for me until the end of time.
Your book is your foundation of the big picture. It’s the thing that will help you run the marathon (rest in power, Nipsey). And there are probably about 20 or so ways that you can eat, i.e. get those “big fat checks and big large bills,” from your book. In this clip, I cover just four ways.
Check out the video above, then tell me which of the four ways you’ll use spread your message, live in your purpose, share your gift and increase the zeroes in your bank account and secure the book bag.
