Most experts think the goal is to publish a book and make money from sales.
But what if the real opportunity in publishing for you lies not in royalties, but in authority, positioning, and client acquisition?
In this episode, I break down two completely different paths to publish a book profitably and why understanding the difference can change everything for your business.
I sit down with Margie Shard, a former financial advisor turned seven-figure fiction author, to unpack two powerful models of book publishing. We contrast how experts can publish a book to generate high-ticket clients through authority positioning versus how fiction authors scale revenue through volume, systems, and readership growth.
