Create a media empire starting with one book

Share: 

You can create a media empire starting with just one book.

*Tom Peters* created his empire starting with In Search of Excellence (written with Bob Waterman Jr.) (10million copies sold worldwide).

*Stephen Covey* started his empire with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (40million copies sold worldwide).

*Napoleon Hill* built his empire around Think And Grow Rich (100million copies sold worldwide).

“Tony Robbins* amplified his empire with books: Unlimited Power, Awaken The Giant Within, Money: Master The Game, LIFE-FORCE, UNSHAKEABLE and others. Tony Robbins networth: $620million.

Very few people outside the tech world heard about Olumide Soyombo, until he launched his book, VANTAGE, on September 12, 2023.

Wait for it, *Paul Uduk* started his mini-empire (you’re laughing) with his Bridges to the Customer’s Heart: 5,000 copies sold worldwide.

A book serves many purposes.

A book opens doors and projects your credibility.

You can sell one book in multiple formats: Hardcover, paperback, Kindle eBook, Epub, PDF and audio.

You can create a course or courses out of your book.

You can create PLR (Private Label Right) for your book.

You can use your book or a chapter as a lead magnet.

Done well and in extreme cases, you can turn your book into a movie like JK Rowling.

But first you have to write your book – don’t underestimate your ideas: they have tremendous value if you package them effectively.

If you’re too busy to write a book, you can engage a ghostwriter.

Unlike courses, books never grow old or stale.

Think of adding a book to your arsenal and see the value of your assets (IP – Intellectual Property) increase with time.

Imagine if you wrote 5 books, and each is selling 10 units at $10 per day: $500 per day in total.

Imagine an average of 30 days in a month you can potentially sell $15,000 worth of book per month.

That is $180,000 per year or N90million at N500 per Dollar or N180million at N1000 to the Dollar.

In addition, you would be participating in *Amazon’s KDP Select Global Fund* if you sell through Amazon.

In August 2023 the KDP Select Global fund was $49.6million. Imagine if you got just $50,000 from the fund, or even 10% of that: $5,000?

You can put the sales of you book(s) on overdrive if you set up an *Evergreen Sales Funnels* that sell your book(s) round the clock on autopilot.  

You can multiply your book sales by diversifying your sales channels by selling your book on your website, Gumroad, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, Ingram, and thousands of other offline and online book stores.

But with Amazon, you have covered 70% of the global book market and can just go to sleep.

Did I forget? You can launch your book and generate millions if like PMB did.

Indeed nothing beats a book when it comes to generating income and projecting influence and orchestrating impact.

The figures I’ve used above (resulting in $180,000) are extremely conservative figures; you could potentially triple these figures if you knew what to do.

However, everything depends on doing everything about your book well and with distinction.

I thought once I’d written a book I’d arrived – nothing could be further from the truth.

When I wrote my first seven books I didn’t know anything about book marketing and sales.

I even consigned 1,000 copies of my first book to a thief and he disappeared into thin air with my books.

The majority of writers and authors are like me.

But now my eyes have opened and I’m sharing these ideas with you.

It’s the type of ideas I share with my students in Book Writing Clinic (BWC).

You can attend BWC for pennies and begin the journey of converting your ideas and stories into books.

When you attend BWC you automatically become a member of BWC Alumni Community and Book Writers Club, where I take you deeper into the book trade and expose to you book strategies you never knew existed. That’s not all. I also connect you with bookshops all over the world. Like Jaico in India.

Position yourself as an expert with your book and you’ll never look back. Treat you book well today and your book will treat you well tomorrow.

Join *The Book Connoisseurs*, my private Facebook Group, dedicated to book writing, marketing, sales, strategy and everything book. First, befriend me on Facebook and I’ll let you in. Do it today. Don’t wait.

Though thousands of books are released every year, less than 10 sell up to 1,000 copies because the writers have no clue about the book industry.

Give your book the right and permission to succeed by treating your book with the attention and details it deserves.

Creating and building a *Media Empire* or *Digital Empire* requires more skills than writing a book – you must know how the entire internet business ecosystem works to generate sales and profit.

I teach digital empire strategies in my iBMC (Internet Business Mastery Course). Write a book, join iBMC and see your “luck” soar. You also join the iBMC Community. But it’s not luck. As Jim Rohn quipped, “Success leaves clues.”

I wished I had someone to guide me when I started learning digital marketing about three years ago or wrote my first book over 20 years ago.

Now you have me.

You’re welcome.
