How to Publish a Bestselling Book to Attract your Dream Clients (Even if you Hate Writing!)
Establish your authority as THE expert on what you do and have your dream clients seeking you out.
I remember when getting clients was the hardest part of my business. I loved my work, and I always wished I could spend all my time doing that, instead of constantly having to promote and market myself.
I was shy, and I was a little afraid of talking to people. But when I did, I always got super excited about their projects. I'd get all caught up in my vision of what we could accomplish together, and I'd pour my heart and soul into the proposal.
I knew I had to continually develop new clients to keep my business thriving. The other choice was the old feast-or-famine cycle. I’d been there, and I had no interest in going back.
But that didn’t stop me from daydreaming about what it would be like to have clients magically come to me, while I spent all of my work time in my zone of genius. While I was at it, I imagined unicorns—and actually taking weekends off!
Then I listened to a webinar about marketing books, and I realized: if I could get my readers from Amazon into my community, my books could do most of the selling for me. I had written a few books, but I'd never gotten them selling well, and my readers weren't making it back onto my mailing list.
A few modifications, and voila: I had leads coming in every week from my books! And I didn't have to do anything to get them. No trying to generate engagement on social media, no reaching out on LinkedIn, no networking functions. What a relief! I could focus on doing what I love, and let my book go out and find me clients.
Nothing says “I’m an expert” and “You should do business with me” more than being a bestselling author on the topic.
—Chandler Bolt
The great thing about leads who have read your book is that they're already bought in. They've just spent a few hours soaking in your voice, your expertise, and your way of doing things, so they're much more qualified than leads from other sources.
They trust you. They like you. They respect you.
They're bought in to your way of doing things, so if they're ready to get support, you're the obvious choice.
Your readers aren't just leads. They're customers. And you don't have to pay to get them. They pay you.
Publishing a bestselling book that showcases your expertise has a lot of advantages.
Establishing your authority as THE expert in what you do
Making more money and making it more predictably by creating a steady stream of incoming prospects. (So long, feast-or-famine cycle!)
Getting booked for speaking gigs and other opportunities more easily
Having dream clients seeking you out, instead of having to work hard to promote your business
More time and energy to focus on doing the work you love (maybe even taking some time off!)
Expanding your reach and being able to help more people—including the ones who can't work with you one-on-one
I have prospective clients reaching out to me every week from my books.
Once I got this right, I had so many opportunities coming in, I couldn't handle them all. I created a certification program and trained 10 people in my method. Now I refer most of my business to them and spend my days doing only what I want to do.
This business model has given me my dream life, and I want to share it.
Introducing Author • Expert • Bestseller
I've created a program called Author • Expert • Bestseller, and it's designed to help you apply the exact same model I used for my books and my clients' books. Here's what you'll learn.
Planning your Showcase Book
- Getting clear on your book's message, so it will speak directly to your ideal clients
- Laying out your process to form the blueprint for your book, so it will help your readers get present to their desires and lead them to want more from you

Selling your Book Long-Term
- How to stay a bestseller long after the launch is over

- Optimizing your funnel to increase sales and profits
The reality is: as many as 80% of people want to write a book. But most never do.
If you want to be the one who "wrote the book" on what you do, it can't be just any book. You need a showcase book that helps your ideal clients:
- "Get" what you do
- Feel a connection with you
- Recognize the pain caused by the problem you solve
- Understand and believe that you can deliver results
Oh yeah, and one more thing:
It has to sell.
If you miss any of those key elements with your book, it will join the millions of books already in Amazon’s junkyard. Unfortunately, most self-published authors miss all five of these key elements.
I know, because I’ve been helping my clients publish their books since 2012. I’ve seen what happens when people get it right, and what happens when they get it wrong.
Did you know that most self-published books sell fewer than 100 copies? That’s not 100 copies a month or 100 copies a year. It's 100 copies total—ever. (Including the author's mom.) You can imagine how many clients the authors get from that.
Nobody is born knowing how to publish a successful book, but anyone can learn. You don’t even have to be a good writer—or a writer at all, for that matter. When you join Author • Expert • Bestseller, I'll guide you through the whole process, from planning and writing your book to publishing it, launching it to bestseller, using it to multiply your reach, and setting it up to keep bringing you leads like clockwork in the long term.
If you're ready to write a top-quality book that stands up to anything you see in the bookstore, establishes your authority, and brings you qualified leads month after month, Author • Expert • Bestseller is for you.
Here's what you'll get.
Author • Expert • Bestseller is an online program, delivered by video.
The six-module video course, guiding you through the entire process of planning your showcase book, publishing it, launching it to bestseller, and using it to multiply your following.
Bonus: Complete transcripts for every video lesson, so you can learn by reading if you prefer
Bonus: Handouts and worksheets covering all of the material, so you can review what you learn and easily implement the process for your book.
Bonus: Printable master workbook, so you can go through all of the course material anywhere
Bonus: Downloadable audio for all video lessons, so you can listen and learn on the go

When I offer this as a done-for-you service, I charge $28,000 and up.
And it’s worth it. Becoming a bestselling author is priceless.
If someone had handed me this system back when I was starting out, I would have paid thousands—and it would have paid for itself many times over, between the impact on my career and all the time I would have saved.
Normally, this program would cost $6000. But you don't have to pay $28,000, $6,000, or even $5,000. Instead, you can join us today for only $2997.
If you win just one new client from your book, the program will more than pay for itself.
But it's not just about that. What's the value of the added authority and visibility of publishing THE book on Your Thing? What's the value of being a bestselling author (a title you get to keep forever)? And what's the value of having a steady, reliable stream of prequalified leads coming to you, already bought in to your expertise and already having spent money with you?
Your bestselling showcase book can open all kinds of doors for you in your business. That's why I created this program, and I hope you'll join today.

One-Year Full Results Guarantee
