The Keys to Unlocking Your Potential

First off, I want to thank you for downloading this PDF and I hope

you find it immensely useful.

It’s not long. A short read, but inside I’m going to give practical

advice for building a successful independent publishing business,

writing and selling books, with a few short case studies sprinkled

in.

Let’s dive in!

Page 4: The Keys To Success - Amazon S3Keys+to...Every Author Presented Here Makes Money Sarah, Richard and David all make money in their publishing business and they all do the same things

The Story of Sarah: The Master Fan-Builder

Sarah writes a lot of books, but I’m going to cover productive

writing in a bit.

No, the one thing that separates Sarah from the hoard of failing

writers that try to make independent publishing work is her

ability to communicate effectively with her audience. She has a

knack for getting people to love her.

What she is doing isn’t magic. You can do it too, easily. And it

doesn’t even eat that much time up. Maybe an hour or less a day.

But it’s worth every single minute you put into it. It turns simple

customers into raving fans who buy every book you release and

drastically increases the customer value.

What is it?

She emails her list every day with a short blurb about what is

going on in her life, the books she’s currently working on and…the

key sauce here…she asks for them to email her back.

And she responds to a chunk of them at the end of the week, in a

compilation email with quotes from her readers or…she answers a

few of them personally.

Page 5: The Keys To Success - Amazon S3Keys+to...Every Author Presented Here Makes Money Sarah, Richard and David all make money in their publishing business and they all do the same things

This creates such an emotional bond with the reader that they feel

personally invested in the lives of the authors who do this. Of

course, virtually no author does do this.

I was told the other day that an author I know doesn’t like

emailing daily because…well, “I would hate that as a reader and

unsubscribe”.

You know what I say to that?

“My friend…I don’t want you on my list then. If you don’t

want to hear what I have to say, if you don’t to be involved in my

life, if you don’t want to purchase a lot of stuff I release…then it’s

best we part ways and don’t waste any more of each other’s

time.”

There is something else I also have to say…

You are not your audience.

That means you must define them slightly differently than you

define yourself, because you are looking for commercial

interests.

You might share a lot of traits with your audience, but your

audience is not you. Your audience shares interests, but also a

purchasing interest with you personally.

Page 6: The Keys To Success - Amazon S3Keys+to...Every Author Presented Here Makes Money Sarah, Richard and David all make money in their publishing business and they all do the same things

That purchasing interest drives slightly different traits. It means

you can and should pursue that interest and you can do it in ways

that helps them.

I think that authors are afraid of constantly communicating with

their audience for fear of annoyance or rejection. Let me clue you

in on a secret: most people are going to reject you.

Ignore those people. If they reject you, unsub, hate you,

then…well, forget them. Move on.

Sarah does this, constant communication with constant personal

touches.

Finally, I want to say that it doesn’t matter if it’s an email list, blog

post comments, a Facebook page or group…communicate and do

so effectively.

The Story of Richard: Find a System, Work

the System

I could talk about how Richard is a master of free marketing.

Richard is a freelance writer who charges 40k bucks for a book

and the clients he gets don’t bat an eye at that price. He knows

where to go to get those kinds of clients.

Though the secret to Richard’s success is his ability to work a

system ceaselessly, and his system is simple.

He writes and submits articles to LinkedIn and Facebook, he

posts them on his blog, he get’s Google traffic and 5 to 10 sign ups

on his list a day.

But he’s always writing articles and always posting them. He

writes one or two a day, between 300 and 4000 words. But these

articles produce income. Clients, people who are paying him an

insane amount of money to write.

He’s a writer. His marketing system is based around writing.

Writers write. Duh.

That’s the amazing thing about this – he works his system like a

slave but it’s totally free and brings in the cash. He’s found what

works for him and he beats the damn thing to death.

Page 8: The Keys To Success - Amazon S3Keys+to...Every Author Presented Here Makes Money Sarah, Richard and David all make money in their publishing business and they all do the same things

The problem most authors face when promoting their books is a

constant churn of different promotional techniques. Constantly

trying to learn or implement a system that is better or easy or

makes more money…(in their mind).

The thing is – almost ALL traffic and marketing systems work.

The key difference is each system works for different people and

their unique situation.

Richard’s situation allows him to just be writing. Perhaps your

situation will allow you to master Facebook marketing or AMS

ads.

Maybe you’ve got an in with BookBub or other sites. Maybe you’re

a super-friendly guy who can schmooze it up with other authors

and network, sharing promotional resources (like email lists).

It doesn’t matter.

What is the most important is you master the system you’re good

at and you master it by working it again and again and again until

you’ve perfected it. Then, ideally, you write up training and you

hire someone to run it for you while you work on the writing. (Or

whatever part of the business you want to run)

But what if I want to expand into new avenues?

Page 9: The Keys To Success - Amazon S3Keys+to...Every Author Presented Here Makes Money Sarah, Richard and David all make money in their publishing business and they all do the same things

Great! You have two options:

A. Do it yourself and ONLY after you’ve mastered and worked

the first system to death. Then ONLY work on that new

avenue…until you master it.

B. Hire someone else to do it.

Assuming you have money coming in, because – you know –

you’ve masted the system, then option “B” shouldn’t be a problem.

Just remember, any new source of traffic, leads or sales is going to

take time to build up into laser tight profitability.

The Story of David: Do What You Love

David runs his entire publishing business on Kindle Unlimited,

the free book platform that pays via page reads. His system is

simple – Facebook ad spend of about 30 to 50 bucks, drop the

traffic, let the freebies reads roll in. If the reads don’t roll in, move

on to the next book.

What is unique about David, however, is that he doesn’t write a

single word. He outsources all the writing by paying freelancers.

He hires people to make the covers for the books and do all the

various other tasks, such as uploading the book, importing the

descriptions and so forth.

From what I understand, his focus is running the ads on Facebook

and other platforms. He doesn’t do much else, besides manage the

team of outsources that do the other work.

I’m not going to assume he “loves” playing the advertising game

on Facebook. Maybe he does, I don’t know. But he sure seems to

focus just on it.

Just like Richard, David is a master of this system and he lets the

other masters – the writers and other workers – work their

mastery. The systems they’ve nailed down and perfected. This

has enabled him to make an easy five figure month income with

all the productivity he’s achieving.

Page 11: The Keys To Success - Amazon S3Keys+to...Every Author Presented Here Makes Money Sarah, Richard and David all make money in their publishing business and they all do the same things

Now I’m under no illusions here. Starting off, you probably don’t

have the capital to just start hiring willy-nilly. You will likely have

to be the labor for practically everything in your business. The

writing, the advertising, the networking or whatever else you need

to do.

But one key trait that separates the wheat from the chaff is this:

the willingness to reinvest the profits back into the business and

automate the tasks that need done. Especially the most hated

tasks or those which you are not proficient in.

Taking stuff off your plate enables you to work the parts you’re

best at or the parts you love. Spending more time on these tasks

generally means more money. And hiring people who are better at

the other tasks also means more money, if you’re smart about

it.

If your productivity increases ten-fold, your profits should

increase ten-fold as well.

Every Author Presented Here Makes Money

Richard hammers his system daily, outsources what he doesn’t

like and is constant communication with is leads and clients. His
