About this listen
Your book just sold 5,000 copies and earned you £7,500 in royalties. The author next door? Same sales, same publisher — but she made £50,000 last year. What does she know that you don't?
In this episode, we break down the four income pillars that transform a modest royalty stream into a sustainable author career: workshops, courses, speaking, and consulting. Learn why your book isn't the product — it's the door. And discover how to walk through it.
We cover:→ The real economics of author income streams→ How to price your expertise (and why you're probably charging too little)→ Permission-based selling that feels authentic, not pushy→ Which pillar to build first based on where you are→ The long game: seeing your book as a decade-long asset
Plus: A recommendation for writers working on their next book — introducing The Architect's Method podcast.
Episode 5 asked what authors actually earn. Episode 6 asks what authors can actually build.
