Rotten Advice for Authors + a Profit-generating Fix…
I bumped into a struggling author on Reddit this morning who’s flushing money down the drain while hoping people will buy his books.
He’s written seven(!) books…
…sold 194 (which averages to 28 sales per book)…
…wasted thousands of dollars on advertising that hasn’t worked…
…and then shown up in a forum for authors to offer advice “for new writers hoping to grow a business.”
Here’s his advice:
- Write more books (he suggests 10)
- Spend MORE on advertising (“some might be able to make it with a smaller budget, but most wonāt.”)
- And be prepared to fail (“Very few can make their money back on just one book…The goal is to burn money to gain returning readers.”
Ummmm… please…
…do NOT follow that guy’s advice!
Here’s the truth. If you view your book as a means to help you grow your business, you can generate significant profits…
…from the first one you publish (no need to write 10)…
…without wasting big bucks on advertising…
…and without soul-crushing failure.
I’ve generated more than $10,000 in profits because of my book, “Story Power Marketing,” and I haven’t event released it yet.
And I did it without spending a dime on advertising.
If you’ve written a book or you might write one in the future, you need to know, in advance, how to use it to attract qualified leads and how to turn them into profitable clients.
This morning, I launched a complimentary masterclass to show you how. It’s called:
How to Leverage
Your Book
to Maximize Sales
and Profits
…and you can watch it, on-demand, right now. The masterclass will be available until Monday, August 26, 11 p.m.. EDT. So tune in soon before it goes away.

One last thing…
If you want a free copy of my book — before I release it on Amazon — you can sign up for it by scanning the QR code I share in the masterclass….
Don't go away yet..
