00:00:28.949 --> 00:00:32.149
This video is for entrepreneurs making over a million dollars a year.
00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:35.990
If you're at that point, you've got a hidden asset that already exists in your business.
00:00:36.149 --> 00:00:38.789
It's a seven-figure asset that you're probably ignoring.
00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:43.429
This book right here has brought in over seven million dollars in sales over the last 12 months.
00:00:43.590 --> 00:00:52.390
So many entrepreneurs I see, especially once you've made it, they miss what is ultimately the best asset and the best marketing channel that ever exists.
00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:56.150
It's in their business, they're ignoring it, and it's costing them a lot of money.
00:00:56.230 --> 00:01:08.549
The problem is when it comes to writing a book that grows your business, all the advice is for newbies, is for people who are trying to become a full-time author and not for business owners like you and I who want to use a book to massively grow their business.
00:01:08.629 --> 00:01:13.189
And so there's a dirty little secret about business books that I'm going to share later in this video.
00:01:13.349 --> 00:01:17.670
But let's start with how do you create a seven-figure asset from a book?
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:25.829
Now, if you do this the right way, there's no reason the book can't create at least six figures, if not seven figures a year in revenue for a really long time.
00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:29.269
Now we've got a video on this channel about how to turn your business into a book.
00:01:29.510 --> 00:01:34.150
The first and most important piece of that is the book has to be connected with your business.
00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:45.750
Most founders treat the book like a vanity project, they treat it like a someday thing, they chase a list and they end up publishing this thing that doesn't grow their business, or worse off, they never end up doing the book to begin with.
00:01:45.910 --> 00:01:51.590
And so what we're going to talk about is hey, how do you use this book to drive speaking gigs if that's something that's important to you?
00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:54.870
Most importantly, to drive sales and a massive amount of revenue.
00:01:55.030 --> 00:01:56.550
I call a book a silent salesman.
00:01:56.630 --> 00:02:04.230
It's the best salesman that you'll ever have on your team to drive referrals with your customers, with prospects, and to drive a massive amount of leads.
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:11.990
Because chances are, hey, if you're at seven figures, you already got the offer, you already got the team, you already got the back end, maybe you've got some ads, customer acquisition channel.
00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:15.509
Adding a book in the mix is just going to create a massive amount of leverage.
00:02:15.669 --> 00:02:24.310
And so if we're even just saying, hey, million-dollar book over the next year or the first year after you publish it, the quick math on that, that's a hundred customers at 10 grand a piece.
00:02:24.389 --> 00:02:26.389
That's 10 customers at 100K.
00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:29.590
So if you've got a high-ticket offer, this is an absolute no-brainer.
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:31.189
And then maybe you're in an agency world.
00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:33.430
Well, that's 28 clients at three grand a month.
00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:38.150
That's a million-dollar business or business channel just off of the back of the book.
00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:39.349
My name's Chandler Bowl.
00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:41.990
I run an eight-figure a year company called selfpublishing.com.
00:02:42.069 --> 00:02:45.509
We publish thousands of books and we publish two to five books a day.
00:02:45.670 --> 00:02:46.789
It didn't start like this, though.
00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:48.150
I've published seven books myself.
00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:51.909
The first one made 400 bucks in a single day while I was snowboarding in Austria.
00:02:52.069 --> 00:02:55.110
That's when I realized that a book works while you don't.
00:02:55.270 --> 00:02:58.950
This crazy thing, you do work once and it's this asset that exists forever.
00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:03.270
Sure, it's bringing in royalties, but more importantly, it's driving business growth.
00:03:03.349 --> 00:03:10.950
So self-publishing.com has grown from zero to over 80 million dollars in sales over the last decade and change because of books.
00:03:11.189 --> 00:03:15.349
We use books to drive the business, and that's what I want to teach you to do as well.
00:03:15.430 --> 00:03:16.950
So it starts with free leads.
00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:22.310
Instead of paying for leads, you're getting free leads because they're downloading the book, they're opting into stuff, right?
00:03:22.390 --> 00:03:24.150
I've got all these things that we can teach you about.
00:03:24.230 --> 00:03:26.390
Hey, how do you give away stuff at the beginning of the book?
00:03:26.550 --> 00:03:30.789
Either way, you're getting free leads, and in a lot of cases, you're getting paid to get leads.
00:03:30.950 --> 00:03:31.670
This is crazy.
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:34.550
People are buying your book, they're the best leads that ever exist.
00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:37.750
Then drive speaking, if that's something that you care about.
00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:42.069
You know, we'll do about six or seven million dollars in revenue this year from speaking.
00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:43.509
And most of the time it's not me.
00:03:43.590 --> 00:03:44.710
I've got a speaking team.
00:03:44.789 --> 00:03:48.230
We do$50,000 to$100,000 or more per speaking gig.
00:03:48.390 --> 00:03:53.270
My team goes to the events, they speak, they hand out books, the cash register rings like crazy.
00:03:53.430 --> 00:04:00.870
Sales, this will create the best sales calls that ever exist in your business because they're already indoctrinated on you, your process, how you work.
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:04.950
One client of ours said, Hey, they had someone read
Load full transcript
their book on vacation.
00:04:05.030 --> 00:04:06.550
There were someone who don't read books.
00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:09.189
And Monday, when they get back, they book a call.
00:04:09.270 --> 00:04:15.270
He said, They I signed a$40,000 deal on the first call, it was the easiest sales call of my life because they had read the book.
00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:18.709
And then you use the book to get a massive amount of referrals.
00:04:18.870 --> 00:04:23.189
Give two books to every single client, one for them and one for someone else they know.
00:04:23.349 --> 00:04:26.469
Now all of a sudden, they are your business is growing like crazy.
00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:33.189
Now, if you snuck through the beginning of this video, if you're under a million dollars a year and you're still watching, you'll probably get value from the rest of this video.
00:04:33.349 --> 00:04:34.789
Like I've used books at every level.
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.310
I've used it to create a thousand bucks a month or a few thousand dollars a month.
00:04:38.389 --> 00:04:42.469
I've used it to then get to six figures, to get to seven figures, and then now to get to eight figures.
00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:43.750
So it can work at every level.
00:04:43.829 --> 00:04:47.750
But if you're already at seven figures, it's going to accelerate the flywheel even faster.
00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:52.949
Here's the thing if you are at seven figures, you're already spending money on marketing, most likely, right?
00:04:53.030 --> 00:04:55.910
The bigger your business, the more you probably have budgeted for marketing.
00:04:56.069 --> 00:05:04.069
You're spending money on ads, you're spending money on events or whatever form of marketing, hoping that you get a three to one return, maybe a five to one return.
00:05:04.230 --> 00:05:06.310
You are renting that audience.
00:05:06.470 --> 00:05:09.990
And as you have probably seen, SEO can come and go.
00:05:10.149 --> 00:05:13.670
Ads, you know, it's like, oh, it's the holidays, everything's gonna get more expensive.
00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:15.670
It's a roller coaster way to grow your business.
00:05:15.829 --> 00:05:20.230
What you should do instead is create a book that you own that will exist forever.
00:05:20.310 --> 00:05:22.230
It's the best asset that you'll ever create.
00:05:22.310 --> 00:05:31.030
So you stop just praying and hoping that the most recent ads work and you create an asset that, if you do it right, will be five to one, ten to one, maybe higher in year one.
00:05:31.110 --> 00:05:36.389
But more importantly, it's a long-term asset that I published this book years ago.
00:05:36.550 --> 00:05:40.230
It's still printing millions of dollars a year in sales for my business.
00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:45.430
That's the power of a long-term asset, and it creates you as a category king, right?
00:05:45.670 --> 00:05:52.230
It gets three to five hours with your ideal customer, it keeps working for years, it goes one to many instead of just one to one.
00:05:52.389 --> 00:06:03.590
And you can just look at all the examples of this, whether it's Alex Hermose, Mel Robbins, Cody Sanchez, Tony Robbins, all of the most successful people that are running big businesses at eight figures and up, they have a book.
00:06:03.670 --> 00:06:07.030
And a book is a major part of how they've grown to that point.
00:06:07.189 --> 00:06:10.149
Now, yes, it works at the highest level, but this even works.
00:06:10.230 --> 00:06:13.430
We have one of our authors, David McKay, he signed up to work with us.
00:06:13.590 --> 00:06:16.310
He published a couple books, and a year later he emailed me.
00:06:16.389 --> 00:06:17.269
He said, Hey, it worked.
00:06:17.430 --> 00:06:24.629
The book already brought in$45,000 in business in the first year, and it's bringing in 30 to 40 leads per week.
00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:25.350
That's insane.
00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:26.790
It's not having to pay for those leads.
00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:29.509
In most cases, he's getting paid to get those leads.
00:06:29.590 --> 00:06:32.470
Now, I know what you're probably thinking, hey, but I don't have time to write a book.
00:06:32.550 --> 00:06:33.269
I'm running this business.
00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:34.709
Like, how in the world am I gonna write a book?
00:06:34.870 --> 00:06:36.709
Well, the good news is you've already written it.
00:06:36.790 --> 00:06:40.550
I know you might not believe that, but the bones of your book already exist.
00:06:40.709 --> 00:06:46.949
If you have a coaching program, if you have a high-ticket offer or anything like that, it definitely exists because it's already in your coaching or course.
00:06:47.110 --> 00:07:00.389
But even if you don't, it's in your frameworks, it's in your SOPs, it's in the broken record conversations, it's in the stuff that you repeat all the time that you know, like the back of your hand, maybe you're feeling more like a parrot than a CEO.
00:07:00.550 --> 00:07:01.350
Well, that's your book.
00:07:01.509 --> 00:07:08.069
That's a sign that you need to stop communicating that stuff one to one and you need to get a book done that then takes it one to many.
00:07:08.149 --> 00:07:09.430
Now, I resonate with this.
00:07:09.509 --> 00:07:12.069
Hey, I can't write a book because I was a C level English student.
00:07:12.149 --> 00:07:14.949
I was not a good writer, I didn't like it, I wasn't good at it.
00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:19.030
So you can lie to yourself and say, I'm not gonna do this, or you can use the cheat code.
00:07:19.110 --> 00:07:23.750
This is the dirty little secret of the publishing industry that I'll tell you about in just one second.
00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:27.509
If you already know that you want to publish a book to grow your business, we'd love to help.
00:07:27.590 --> 00:07:31.990

This is a call with one of the experts on my team.

00:07:40.629 --> 00:07:42.790
Click the link, book a publishing consultation.
00:07:42.870 --> 00:07:46.230
We'll talk about your goals for your book, your challenges, and we'll create a plan.
00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:48.709
There's a big problem when it comes to getting this book written.
00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:49.990
You don't have the time to do it.
00:07:50.069 --> 00:07:50.790
Let's just be real.
00:07:50.870 --> 00:07:57.030
You're running your business, you're doing payroll, you're doing hiring, you've got client fires, you've got fulfillment, you've got sales.
00:07:57.189 --> 00:08:00.470
You're stuck on the hamster wheel in your business doing one-to-one things.
00:08:00.550 --> 00:08:06.310
And a book is gonna take likely hundreds of hours or at least a hundred hours, and you don't have that time to spend.
00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:08.069
I know because I've I've been there.
00:08:08.230 --> 00:08:11.189
When I wrote this book, we were already at multiple seven figures a year.
00:08:11.269 --> 00:08:14.709
I think we had 20 or 30 employees, and I said, Hey, I'm putting my foot down.
00:08:14.870 --> 00:08:16.709
I am playing on hard mode.
00:08:16.949 --> 00:08:18.629
That's you're probably doing the same exact thing.
00:08:18.709 --> 00:08:25.350
You're running your business on hard mode, and I said, Hey, I'm gonna take 90 days, 100 days, whatever, and I'm gonna just lock in and get this book done.
00:08:25.430 --> 00:08:32.149
And I ended up going from picking up a pen to 105 days later launching the book while running a business full time.
00:08:32.309 --> 00:08:33.110
Well, how do I do that?
00:08:33.189 --> 00:08:35.509
Because I had a plan, and that's what you need as well.
00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:38.949
But there is a dirty little secret that this give me your cheek code.
00:08:39.029 --> 00:08:44.709
So the dirty little secret of the publishing industry is that the top books that exist were written by a ghostwriter.
00:08:44.870 --> 00:08:50.870
Some of the most successful business books, they're not written by the author, they're written by someone the author hired.
00:08:51.029 --> 00:08:53.750
So the ideas, the stories, the name, all that stuff.
00:08:53.909 --> 00:08:55.829
Yeah, that's the author, that's the business owner.
00:08:55.909 --> 00:08:57.829
But they had someone else write the book.
00:08:57.990 --> 00:08:58.709
Now, think about this.
00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:00.149
You're a business owner, you get this.
00:09:00.230 --> 00:09:01.110
It's delegation.
00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:01.909
It's not cheating.
00:09:02.070 --> 00:09:07.350
It's you wouldn't say, oh, well, if you hire people in your business to do stuff for you, that's cheating.
00:09:07.590 --> 00:09:10.149
No, you would hire them to deliver an outcome.
00:09:10.310 --> 00:09:16.710
Well, I would invite you to shift your perspective to
one, this is the best asset that you can ever create in your business.
00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:21.590
But two, you should spend money to save time and to create a business asset.
00:09:21.750 --> 00:09:27.110
You're spending money to create other marketing channels while ignoring the most profitable channel that exists.
00:09:27.269 --> 00:09:28.310
Here's the problem though.
00:09:28.470 --> 00:09:32.789
Most people screw this up, and you've probably heard horror stories about hiring a ghostwriter.
00:09:32.950 --> 00:09:38.710
Number one, they're expensive, so they're$100 to$300,000 or more for a good one with no guarantee.
00:09:38.950 --> 00:09:43.029
Secondly, the best ones stay booked out months, years in advance.
00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:47.990
And so you you just end up sitting around waiting and saying, Man, when can we finally get this process started?
00:09:48.070 --> 00:09:49.909
And then thirdly, they're flaky, right?
00:09:49.990 --> 00:09:54.870
You're relying on a single person who may or may not understand your voice, can't write it in your voice.
00:09:55.029 --> 00:10:00.070
Maybe they get sick, maybe they take time off, they take on a bigger client, and now you're less important.
00:10:00.149 --> 00:10:02.310
And so you just end up in this hurry up and wait mode.
00:10:02.470 --> 00:10:04.149
And I've seen so many founders make this mistake.
00:10:04.310 --> 00:10:14.549
They wake up a year later, three years, and they say, Oh my gosh, I just burned a whole year, two years, which is the most expensive part of the process, by the way, is the time that you are wasting without having a book.
00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:15.909
And so they screw it up.
00:10:15.990 --> 00:10:16.950
So don't make that mistake.
00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:20.789
What to do instead is you need to work with a team, not a person.
00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:25.830
You need to process over a person, and a good team will help you distill your voice.
00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:30.629
They will help you narrow in on your stories that you want to share, the concepts, the hook.
00:10:30.710 --> 00:10:32.710
The good team will think about the launch.
00:10:32.789 --> 00:10:35.509
They're not just gonna start with, hey, how do you write the book?
00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:40.310
But they're gonna reverse engineer how do we create a seven-figure asset for your business.
00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:43.509
And so if you work with a team, that means there's no single point of failure.
00:10:43.669 --> 00:10:49.350
And the process means that the quality doesn't depend on luck or getting paired up with a ghostwriter who talks just like you.
00:10:49.509 --> 00:10:52.789
No, it's a process that creates quality books.
00:10:52.950 --> 00:10:57.029
And so that's what I would recommend is look for a team or look for a process.
00:10:57.110 --> 00:10:59.269
Now, how does this work and what should you look for?
00:10:59.429 --> 00:11:02.629
Well, first thing, you need to look for someone who begins with the end in mind.
00:11:02.710 --> 00:11:05.669
So they look with the outcome, and the outcome is not just a finished book.
00:11:05.750 --> 00:11:07.029
And then they need to have a process.
00:11:07.110 --> 00:11:09.269
Now, that process needs to do a couple things.
00:11:09.429 --> 00:11:20.710
It needs to extract concepts from you through interviews, all that stuff, maybe distilling some of your work, but it needs to get clear on your voice, it needs to get clear on your key concepts and your stories that you want to share.
00:11:20.789 --> 00:11:21.029
Okay.
00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:27.350
And so they need to have a process where they say, hey, over a period of 90 days, six months, 12 months, here's how we're gonna do this.
00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:30.629
And the end goal is an asset that brings in customers.
00:11:30.710 --> 00:11:31.029
All right.
00:11:31.190 --> 00:11:33.909
Now, then from there, there needs to be checkpoints.
00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:36.149
So, hey, here's the outline, you approve it.
00:11:36.230 --> 00:11:38.070
Here's the first chapters, you approve it.
00:11:38.149 --> 00:11:40.149
Here's the first few chapters, you approve it.
00:11:40.230 --> 00:11:48.470
And the big mistake people make right here is they just cut a check, do the minimum amount of time with their ghostwriter and say, I'll see you in six months when the book's written.
00:11:48.549 --> 00:11:49.269
It's a big mistake.
00:11:49.429 --> 00:12:00.710
And so this is why what we do at selfpublishing.com, we've got a proven process with quality ghostwriters, and we walk you through that process to create a business asset, not just a book, right?
00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:01.990
Anybody can create a book.
00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:04.230
It might not be that good, but anybody can create one.
00:12:04.389 --> 00:12:07.269
The real test is is it written by someone who understands business?
00:12:07.509 --> 00:12:13.029
Is it created by a company who can reverse engineer your outcomes with this book?
00:12:13.190 --> 00:12:17.750
The first step, if you're thinking about getting our help, book a call with the team, publishing consultation.
00:12:17.830 --> 00:12:19.509

00:12:21.190 --> 00:12:23.110

So click the link, schedule a call.
00:12:28.870 --> 00:12:31.429
I do want to say super up front, this is not for most people.
00:12:31.509 --> 00:12:37.110
The ghostwriting process probably isn't for you unless you want to write a big check for quality and speed.
00:12:37.350 --> 00:12:39.669
Secondly, spots are extremely limited.
00:12:39.830 --> 00:12:41.750
So this is not just fake scarcity.
00:12:41.830 --> 00:12:45.750
Okay, we keep spots limited so that we can keep the quality high.
00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:49.990
So we've got one spot per month in our premium ghostwriting program.
00:12:50.070 --> 00:12:51.669
That's for the people who want the best.
00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:58.149
And you want to pay for it, you want to cut a check for speed, or you want to cut a check to save a bunch of your time and to create a better quality book.
00:12:58.310 --> 00:12:59.590
Well, you probably qualify for that.
00:12:59.669 --> 00:13:04.230
If you've got a big budget, those fill up, may or may not be filled up by the time you chat it with a team.
00:13:04.310 --> 00:13:08.389
Secondly, we've got three spots per month in our standard ghostwriting program.
00:13:08.549 --> 00:13:11.190
This will run laps around anything else you see on the market.
00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:13.110
It's a really, really good bang for your buck.
00:13:13.269 --> 00:13:17.429
If you're a, you know, maybe don't want to go all in with the high tier, right?
00:13:17.509 --> 00:13:20.470
Well, then try the standard ghostwriting, but that is limited to three spots.
00:13:20.629 --> 00:13:23.110
Once they fill up, you'll have to go on the wait list for a future.
00:13:23.269 --> 00:13:24.310
I hope this video was helpful.
00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:29.830
I'm so passionate about this because I see so many entrepreneurs doing this the wrong way.
00:13:29.990 --> 00:13:39.590
They're either playing on hard mode and saying, oh yeah, I'll do the book maybe someday, maybe next year, or they just end up wasting years in this process wishing that they had published the book sooner.
00:13:39.750 --> 00:13:41.750
