Course overview
Turn your book into an income generator beyond collecting royalties
Learn how your book project becomes the center piece of your writing business by unlocking multiple income streams.
Get the exact strategies and tools I used from 24 published books which unlocked a range of profitable opportunities.
They would still be invisible without using the book as a door opener. I even secured my dream job from my writing journey!
These opportunities include launch events, speaking gigs, raving reviews, coaching and consulting, guest podcasts up to online courses as a well-known expert in your field.
Let me inspire you with step by step action items to reach a much larger audience towards gaining financial independence.
This course is for you if...
01
You are a published author with one or more books to your name and wonder how to monetize your writing with further activities.
02
You are an upcoming book writer in the process of writing and publishing your book but feeling lost about bringing all activities together.
03
You are a content creator with a book idea keen to understand the big picture of earning possibilities to get the required boost to succeed.
Key outcomes of this course
Design the income roadmap for your book project
So many authors write their book from intrinsic motivation and only think about earning just before publication. I created a reverse-engineering approach creating income activities first including a launch event with visibility and even a pre-launch.
Discover the elements of your content promotion strategy
Without getting eyes to your content, a book won't see much success which reduces chances for further business success from having it available. Therefore we cover a well-planned content promotion strategy to cover the important aspects before and after the book is released.
Build a portfolio of profitable activities
Authors rarely only earn book royalties. The credibility from having a book published and available adds more business idea. Instead of exploring them accidentally we strategically build a whole portfolio around the book with a roadmap in mind to keep attention and focus.
Setup your launch journey towards a repeatable business
A festive book launch is not just a great moment celebrating the success of a project hitting a milestone - it is also the birthplace for more ideas to monetize afterwards. Therefore we reverse engineer the whole process with the launch in mind.

Gunnar Habitz
Content Creator & Bestselling Author
I published my first book in 1999, a travel guide about my second home town Prague in Czech Republic. From there I published by average one book per year, most of them in the travel industry or business books (and one fairy tale).
Little did I know that those books started my 6-figure writing career which includes blogging, speaking, multiple guest podcast episodes and online courses.
Working in the software industry as my main profession, I am writing daily about various topics and created a weekly series on LinkedIn running already for 250+ weeks.
Thanks to my blog and course the legendary social media management vendor Hootsuite found and hired me. Later I enhanced their Social Selling course as well.
In 2023 I released my business book "Connect & Act - Systematic Social Selling" with more to come. In Sydney I teach topics such as social media for authors, book writing, and online course creation.
Every second week I review business books with comprehensive interviews of fellow authors from Australia, America or Europe with the intent to help upcoming authors to find their voice.
My course "Monetize Your Book" brings the experience of my 24 books, 450+ articles in print media, and years of social media blogging into a dedicated program to help fellow writers to earn in a holistic view - and start to make a living from writing.
Course schedule

If you got stuck over the weekend and would like to ask questions, I dedicate this time slot per week (and for the two weeks after the program) to ask any question or share some of your work to discuss your progress.
7-day Email Course About Earning From Books
In this free email course I will show you that having your own business book out there in the market shouldn't stop with collecting royalties from your publisher.
We will cover various angles from traffic sources up to creating small online courses - all centred around the book as a hook for more.
This works for those who already published a book and others who are still writing theirs.
