Crowdsourcing a Bestseller

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

We have all been through it.
You spend all your blood, sweat and tears writing your future “bestseller”…
…only to find out, there is way more to it.
You need a cover, a professional cover (not one you personally throw together on Canva).
You need an editor.
You need someone to look over what you wrote and make sure “it is good.”
Then you need a good book description.
You need to choose categories and keywords.
Then you need a launch plan. You need to figure out what type of marketing works, and then time it all properly. Which is almost impossible if you haven’t already done it many times. Even then, will people buy it? Will they read it?
That is why many people will start writing, but never finish.
It can be incredibly overwhelming.
That is why authors look at hiring Done-For-You services, to get it all done for them. But those aren’t cheap, even if they handle everyone of those items mentioned above.
And in all of the above cases, you are in it alone (even if you are simply evaluating Done-For-You services).
But what if… You could share the cost of all of those things You could tap into the marketing efforts of authors past and present in a group way You could guarantee the cover is one that has already a tried and tested format You could get a professional editor who is proven and tested, but the costs are paid by a group
You automatically get launched using a plan that works every time, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own (or take a course for it) You get Done-For-You treatment, but the cost is spread across a group of authors You are guaranteed to hit Bestseller on Amazon, and forever be known as a Bestselling Author You and other authors work together in perpetuity to promote a book, that brings attention to you and your writing You can add your first or another book to your author portfolio, for a fraction of the time, effort and cost The topic of the book is researched and in a niche that commands lots of attention and downloads on Amazon
You can do this by what I call crowdsourcing a bestseller.
The whole idea is participating in a professionally run anthology.
You write a chapter and the rest is done for you: Other authors are recruited, each focusing on writing one good chapter The cover is professionally designed The book description is written using proven copywriting Good anthologies use a book series to further enhance the value of all books to authors The book is marketed and launched for you, in a proven fashion You build authority, another (or first) book to your portfolio Bestselling Author Status A way to get your message to more people about your flagship book and/or your services
If you look in my portfolio on Amazon, nearly 1/3 of the books are anthologies.
They can beef up your portfolio and your authority for a fraction of the time, cost and effort.
You can learn more about this concept, and our current anthology here: https∶//co-author.me/ (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJx1jslqw0AQRL_Gc4vonqXVOszBBEKcDzD4FGZTJLSMGUmB6Osjm1wDdalDvXrJIhE2dQ3SiGgxaq9J9FaClMAKJSAZrnSigMF78gYjQThpKO7Hl9RNVciT6CzUx7KOHrxhdo5JAUUMjlk3ARnEaLt1vS8ndT7JtyMhv7ht7XKppnRUkSbXj-9u6az5NBechtdtu12H28f3TllFEfK8urBeoiXpTctNC-yNkYYOZwUOtSj2ITXmL1Xldth5PjR3d-9TebCfon-UaypLn-fn3T849QtjSFXf) Leap.Love.Grow.

She said, “I know who you are.”

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

I can recall the very first email I sent to Alinka Rutkowska. I introduced myself to her, and asked her if she wanted to connect and see if we could work together.
Her response was, “I know who you are.” (referring to the bunch of books in my portfolio on Amazon).That was the day we starting working together as JV partners, and became great friends.
She introduced me to Paul Brodie. We became fast friends and partners as well.
I was introduced to Rob Kosberg, we hit it off right away, and have worked on projects ever since.
Nick Stephenson and Derek Doepker were both super cool to me via email, when no one knew who I was.
Brian Berni invited me to my first opportunity to speak on a virtual summit.
Jonathan Green accepted me as a book swap partner before he knew who the heck I was.
I just met Tom Antion last week, a hilarious guy and an OG (original gangster) of the digital marketing world.
Karen Ferreira and I connected when we were both launching our first virtual summits (in fact she encouraged me to do it).
Richard McCartney and I were clients of each other, before we knew who each other personally.
I invited Honorée Corder to speak at a summit a year and a half ago, and after the interview we became fast friends.
Kristina Safarova, Philip Duncan, and Kent Sanders are all new friends and partners within the past year. What does this have to do with anything?
As I spent this morning looking at the list of incredible speakers on the Bestseller Secrets Summit, I feel so grateful and blessed.
These are incredibly nice people who have massive amounts wisdom about books, bestsellers, platforms and all things associated with being authors, experts, speakers, coaches, consultants.
And here I am…

(you can find out how you can do that as well, in the session Derek and I have on Day 5) The summit is free and starts tomorrow.

Traveling at Anti-Ludicrous Speed

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

In the 1987 film, Spaceballs (a Mel Brooks parody of Star Wars), Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis in the mock role of Darth Vader) tells Colonel Sandurz (George Wyner) to hurry after Lone Star’s ship.
Lone Star is Bill Pullman’s character who is a combination of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
Colonel Sandurz says: ” Prepare for light speed.”
Dark Helmet says: ” No no no, Light Speed’s too slow!”
Sandurz: ” Light Speed too slow?”
Dark Helmet: ” We’re gonna have to go right to – Ludicrous Speed!”
Apparently, ludicrous speed is significantly faster than light speed.
Reminds me of my journey to that very first book launch.
Everything felt like slow and stressful, kinda like “Anti-Ludicrous Speed.”
When you have no idea what you are doing, whether or not you are doing it right, you tend to slow way down, and in many cases, simply skip launching altogether.
The fact is it doesn’t have to be that way. There are many people willing to share how to do what you want to learn how to do.
And we have 25 of them on the Bestseller Secrets Summit.
It is all about book marketing, hitting bestseller (Amazon, USA Today, WSJ), audience building and much, much more.
It is free, starting next week.
Here’s just a small sample of what you’ll learn during the summit sessions:
How to use Book Ads to Drive Sales on Autopilot
The Secrets To Hitting The USA Today Bestseller List
Multiple Social Media Strategies to suit your style of engagement
Bulk Book Sales Secrets

How not to market your book (in one sentence)

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Got a response to an email I sent yesterday (about the now closed Bookfunnel University).
All it had was a link to a book.
No, ” Hello, my name is…”
No, ” You don’t know me but…”
No ask, no actual understanding if I am even in the target market.
Just a link to a book.
I can confirm this is not how to market your book. Do not send unsolicited links to your book (even if you add a hello, my name is line to it).
That almost never works, and probably has the opposite effect.
Now, if someone subscribes to YOUR email list, then that is totally fair game, and you have already made some kind of connection with them prior.
But when you join someone else’s list, and then attempt to use that for marketing, that is going to be a lot of work for probably zero results.
I get it, when you are starting out, marketing seems like a foreign language.
That is why Derek Doepker and I created the Bestseller Secrets Summit.
It is all about book marketing, and audience building.
And it is free, starting next week. Or for a nominal fee (much less than you would pay for a course) you can keep lifetime access to the expert sessions.
At the Bestseller Secrets Summit, you’ll hear the latest and greatest experts like Nick Stephenson, Rob Kosberg, Alinka Rutkowska, Brian Berni, Paul Brodie, Honorée Corder, Jonathan Green, Joshua Sprague, Karen Ferreira — plus many more!

How Southpark made Tommy Lee Jones funny

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

A few of decades ago, at the peak of Southpark fame, an interesting thing happened at the Oscars.
Tommy Lee Jones (who was riding a wave of popularity from The Fugitive and a slew of other films) was scheduled to announce the Best Picture Award at the end of the show.
It was nearly three and a half hours into the show, and he was waiting backstage to head out for his emcee cameo. The problem?
Tommy Lee Jones is pretty much the definition of a stoic. His standard character in movies is his real life persona, a frowning intellectual and serious guy.
He runs into Trey Parker and Matt Stone backstage (the creators of Southpark and some goofy guy-type films).
Tommy says, ” I wish I was funny like you guys. I don’t even know what to say when I go out there.”
Trey and Matt, say that is easy, just use this one line.
Tommy Lee Jones, walks out on stage, stone-faced, to deliver the announcement of Best Picture to a crowd that has been sitting for 3.5 hours and says… “We have reached the most important part of the evening…the halfway point.”
The crowd erupted in laughter (probably mostly because it was serious Tommy).
You never know when one encounter or idea will create a changing event for you.
Tommy Lee Jones made his big day on stage one where he delivered a great joke, just by his conversation with Trey and Matt.
One idea that can change things dramatically for motivated authors is the creation of a Bookfunnel fits in.
A Bookfunnel is a sales funnel on your website that not only sells your book, but:
Sells other products after the book
Allows customers to consider your book without any other distractions (unlike Amazon)
Creates authority (and partnership opportunities) with other influencers
Gives you your customer data, and contact info to share the next thing
Allows you to build your list (even with people who do not buy), and sell them something else later

This surprising #1 Bestseller Secret for Authors

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Next week, I am co-hosting a new summit with Derek Doepker, the Bestseller Secrets Summit.
One of the most eye opening interviews was when I interviewed Derek.
When we started talking, he confirmed that THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of his entire author platform is his email list.
Most authors don’t see it that way. The myth is that email is something you figure out later on.
But Derek not only shares why you should focus on email now, but how you can get started quickly and maintain it easily.
In fact, your email list can and should be entirely tailored to your personality.
There are many, many reasons to start building an email list, even before you publish. Derek shares many of them (some were news to me!).
Also, at the Bestseller Secrets Summit, you’ll hear the latest and greatest experts like Nick Stephenson, Rob Kosberg, Alinka Rutkowska, Brian Berni, Paul Brodie, Honorée Corder, Jonathan Green, Joshua Sprague, Karen Ferreira — plus many more!
Here’s just a small sample of what you’ll learn during the summit sessions:
How to use Book Ads to Drive Sales on Autopilot
The Secrets To Hitting The USA Today Bestseller List
Multiple Social Media Strategies to suit your style of engagement
Bulk Book Sales Secrets
How to Use Email Marketing to create a long term author business
Plus much, much more!

She said, “Scram, before I nunchuck you!”

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

The other night at dinner, we were all eating and chatting away when my eight year old daughter shouted… “Scram, before I nunchuck you!”
I tried to determine if she was talking to my son (11), or just shouting indiscriminately to no one.
Turns out it was the latter.
She had heard it on some cartoon, and simply repeated the phrase. I believe mostly because of the energy and passion of the way it was said when she heard it.
She then had to explain to her mom what a nunchuck is.
The fact that people are energized by things they see, hear and/or read is something to pay attention to.
When we a phrase resonates with us (whether philosophically or energetically), we are bound to remember it.
That is why it is important you share your wisdom, and energy as many places as possible.
Most authors should considering expanding their message to more platforms.
That is where a Bookfunnel fits in.
A Bookfunnel is a sales funnel on your website that not only sells your book, but:
Sells other products after the book
Allows customers to consider your book without any other distractions (unlike Amazon)
Creates authority (and partnership opportunities) with other influencers
Gives you your customer data, and contact info to share the next thing
Allows you to build your list (even with people who do not buy), and sell them something else later
And much more…
Here is the thing…
Most authors think this is something they have to wait on until they are “big time.”
The exact opposite is true. You should consider this now, or at least learn the skill and create a plan for your bookfunnel.
We are teaching a pilot course that starts this Wednesday called Bookfunnel University, and are looking for a few great students who want to work this into their authorpreneur plans. There are some great benefits to the pilot, including coaching calls for your particular situation.
If you are interested learning more, and joining the course now (while it is a pilot) at a substantial discount, with some unbelievable bonuses, check it out here: https∶//www.bookfunnel.io/ (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJx1jstqwzAQRb_G2tXoHXmhRSCEdFtCoMuRPKpFbMnIbo3z9VVCt4XhDtzFuQct05oqJhUzpLesl05qEi2nnFPDZE0mdRskUESutQbPvRCNpAV2V3CYWp8nMlgAVFIJbxjiQUsROvCqVx03of5DIKMd1nVeGnFs-Lnetm2ty_kevlPCsY25dgQniOMFlsH66fwz5-NoPq474tuePi8nTnxOK_j1vbeaOxVMF6hxSnGlq7igwCQp9mk25i_R5nB_mFRdHzBHLE_2y_aPcsOyxJxec__gxC8ABVjn)

Would you rather try to sell 33,374 books or just 579?

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Sometimes marketing harder is just not the answer.
If you have had any experience marketing your book, especially on Amazon, you know what I am talking about.
The margins are generally so tight, that it can feel like a hamster wheel. And frankly it is.
There are distractions: How often do you stay focused on what you went to Amazon before you start looking at something else. Especially if you are doing something like, just browsing for books.
But take it one step further, and take the time to do the math.
Say the goal is to make $10,000 on your book monthly. Your particular niche dictates that your Kindle book should sell at 99¢. You don’t have much choice, even if your book is much more valuable, because the competition is so high on Amazon.
If you run no ads, after Amazon takes their cut, you have to make 33,334 sales to eclipse 10k in income.
What if you could set up your own site, and sell your book via a Bookfunnel. A Bookfunnel is a sales funnel on your website that not only sells your book, but offers other optional products. It could look something like this:
Your book is free plus shipping (say you charge $9.99 shipping)
You have a bump (upsell) for the book’s Digi Pak (audiobook and eBook) for $27
You also have a course as an upsell for $97
The goal would be to break even just on the book portion (that is called a self-liquidating offer), but on average each sale you make conservatively averages around $19 (some people just buy the book, but some buy the bump and a few buy the course upsell). Your mileage will vary (this is just an example of the math).
In this simple scenario, the revenue per sale is $19, meaning you only have to sell 527 to make 10k (not 33,334).
This is just an example, but every author should do the math on what is really required to reach their goals.
You can’t hope and pray to make 10k a month from a Kindle book, when it is pretty much impossible on Amazon. But you might have a better chance if you think outside of the box.
You can see more of the math I used here, along with other reasons to consider adding your own platform to the equation here: https∶//www.bookfunnel.io/ (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJx1jsFOxCAURb-mLJv3gEfpgsUYY9SVi4mJS2jBYluY0JrG-XqZiVuTu7q5Ofd4g0qB0Fr1PRsNjtJJxaLhwDloFIggCVuJWllHwOvQo-saCcX-uOKntR3yyiZDgxbBd53lgRBISKFID9ID-BE74dlipn2_bI04Nfyp5jiO1uU8h–U_NLGXDvmVxuXZ7tNpry9Sn3AY_xwK51P6eHrPM5syGm3w_4yGsUdBd0H0I6Ik6riAixKVszNbMmfos1hvupUXa_2En25se-2f5R3X7aY0_3uH5z4BbMPVzQ)

He made $62,800 in one hour, illegally

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

One my favorite true stories, comes from the book Catch Me If You Can, by Frank Abagnale.
You may recall the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio (which is not nearly as good as the book).
Frank was a real life conman, chased by an FBI agent for years, nearly died in prison in France, and now works for the “good” guys in securing checks and currency.
The book is all about his life, and his scams. Most are hard to believe he pulled off, or even had the gumption to try.
One of his scams occurred at an airport.
He had noticed that after closing time for airport shops (late night), all the shopkeepers would stop by the Bean State National Bank branch in the airport and drop deposit envelopes into the bank’s nighttime deposit drop-off (basically a slot on the outside of the bank wall).
So, Frank made a quick call to the main bank number, and asked to speak to security. He told them he was a new employee, and his uniform had been ripped by accident. He desperately needed a new one for his shift “that night.”
The bank told him to go to the uniform company downtown, and ask for a specific person there. Which he promptly did, and walked out with a bank security uniform.
He then bought a replica gun from a gun shop for the holster that came with the uniform (to look official and all).
That afternoon, he rented a station wagon and heads off to the airport. He put stickers on each side of the station wagon that said, ” Security – Bean State National Bank.”
At 11:15pm, he was standing “at attention” next to the in-airport terminal bank branch. The deposit vault now had a sign over it that read… “NIGHT DEPOSIT VAULT OUT OF ORDER, PLEASE MAKE DEPOSITS WITH THE SECURITY OFFICER.”
Frank stood next to it, with a big mail bag on a dolly.
Over the course of the next hour, 35 shopkeepers put bags or envelopes into the mail bag without so much as a “hello” to him as he stood their stoically.
When it came time to leave, Frank rolled the dolly toward the exit doors.
The dolly was so weighted down, it got stuck on the weather stripping below the automatic doors.
As he struggled, someone said, “What’s going on, buddy?” As Frank explains… “I twisted my head and nearly soiled my drawers.”
There were two state troopers standing right there looking at him.
So he explained to them that the bank vault was broken, and that he was left alone with the “company” station wagon to get this money downtown. What did they do?
They helped him bring the money all the way to the car AND LOAD IT TOO!
In all, he walked away with $62,800 in cash.
I am not a fan of the bad guys, but I laugh out loud every time I read that story because Abagnale must have had supreme confidence in himself to pull that off.
Especially, when he encountered the two state troopers. So, what do you do if you are a law abiding author, but want to have that kind of confidence (and real financial success)?
One of the best ways to build your confidence is to have something to sell (outside of Amazon) that includes your book and potentially other products.
In fact, having something else is almost a requirement these days to get others just to promote your book. Something that is worthwhile for other potential partners to promote monetarily (not a tiny Amazon affiliate commission).
That is where a Bookfunnel fits in beautifully for authors.
A Bookfunnel is a sales funnel on your website that not only sells your book, but:
Sells other products after the book
Allows customers to consider your book without any other distractions (unlike Amazon)
Creates authority (and partnership opportunities) with other influencers

And much more…
Here is the thing…
Most authors think this is something they have to wait on until they are “big time.”
The exact opposite is true. You should consider this now, or at least learn the skill and create a plan for your bookfunnel.
