Most authors believe that once they write their book, the money will follow. But hereโs the truth: Your story alone wonโt get you there. If you want your book to make a difference and generate income, you have to go beyond just telling your story. You need to position it as a tool that serves others and solves their problems.
โ
Iโve seen this firsthand with one of my clients. She joined one of my book anthologies back in 2022, eager to share her journey as a plus-sized woman who had learned to love herself despite societal pressures. Her story was powerful and deeply personal, but at the time, she saw her book purely as a way to express her journeyโnot as a tool to make a difference or make money. I kept telling her, โYour book is a business,โ but it hadnโt clicked yet.
โ
Then, life forced her hand. About a year after the anthology, her motherโs brain cancerโafter years of remissionโreturned. The familyโs finances were stretched to the breaking point. She had a tough decision to make: would she keep treating her book as just her story, or would she embrace the calling God had placed on her life to use her story as a tool to make a difference AND make money?
โ
As scary as it was, she took a leap of faith. She came back to me and invested in my highest-level package, determined to write a book that would not only change lives but also create a sustainable future for her family. Together, we worked to refine her message. It wasnโt just about telling her story anymoreโit was about positioning her as a trusted authority on self-love and body acceptance.
โ
During our time together, we wrote two solo books for her and launched her coaching business. Just last month, she left her corporate jobโshe now works fewer hours, earns a full-time income, and has the flexibility to be there for her family, especially during her motherโs battle with cancer. Plus she is making a real income, by making a real difference in the lives of others - this is a screenshot of a recent message we exchanged - her clients absolutely LOVVEEE her and the transformation she helps them achieve!
โ
If you are called to be an author to help others, this is possible for you too.....but hereโs the hard truth: Writing a book is just the first step. If you want to make a difference and make money, you need to position your book as more than just your story. Your book is a product, and you have to see it that way.
โ
I always tell my clients: some things can be bought, some things must be taught, and some things can only be caught.
โ
๐๐ฝ Bought: You can hire someone to help you write the right bookโone thatโs clear, compelling, and speaks directly to your readersโ deepest needs.
โ
๐๐ฝ Taught: You can be taught how to think like a business owner. Itโs not just about writing a great book; itโs about understanding how to market and monetize it. This involves learning how to leverage your book to open doors to speaking, coaching, and consulting opportunities.
โ
๐๐ฝ Caught: Accountability, consistency, and the mindset needed to make a difference and make money canโt be bought or taughtโthey have to be caught. You have to live them, show up, and do the work.
โ
My clientโs story is proof that God is a way-maker, and He works through usโHis people who are called and chosen. When He tells you to share your story, itโs not just to be heard, but to make a difference and make money.
โ
This is your season. The personal development industry is valued at over $40 billion, and people are investing in the tools that will help them reach their next levelโyour book can be one of those tools.
โ
And hereโs the exciting part: Thereโs still time this year to get your book written, launched, and impacting lives. One of my recent bestselling clients came to me on August 20th, thinking she had no time left to make her dream happen this year. By September 28th, she was a #1 bestselling author. She secured two corporate consulting contracts at her October 4th book launch eventโtripling her investment.
