A lot of successful business owners turn their business success into a book. You can turn your book into a successful business by simply inverting the formula. Whether it is a fiction or non-fiction book, if you have some expert advice, a valuable message and sought-after solution or just pure entertainment to offer through your book, then you will be able to turn it into a golden goose.

Learn how to turn your book into 14 streams of income.
Learn how to turn your precious work into a money-making suite of products and services.

You will be using your book (whether you have written it, intending to write it or just thinking about writing it doesn't matter) as a case study. By working through each of the streams of income based on your own book's potential, you will walk away from this course with a clear actionable plan on how to market your book and make thousands of pounds instead of just pennies from your royalties.

This comprehensive and insightful course hosted by successful author Francesca Hepton will guide you through the whole process giving you ideas on how to turn your masterpiece into a golden goose.

You may be an expert in your field. Or you have poured your heart and soul out into your book and now it is simply glistening on a shelf with hundreds of other copies or reflecting blankly at you from an amazon page not fulfilling those false promises of untold wonder and riches…. you don't make the big bucks as a writer!! Only the top 2-3% of authors do. So what do you do? Get smart. Get creative.

Just like Apple does not sell just desktop computers, but also watches, phones and iTunes, etc. so too can your book become the hub of a larger suite of products.

All of the products will be based around the content of your book and the message/promises it delivers.

Products can be tangible, e.g. hardback, paperback, new products based on your book (stuffed toys, training manuals) or intellectual property, such as certification training, study programs and retreats.

I wish to broaden your horizons so you feel able to find and express your own voice - don't worry, there won't be any tests, just ideas to turn your book into a source of income instead of a door stopper.
