Increase Your Revenue and Book Sales
As an author, your main focus is most likely on your book. By developing additional income streams related to your book, however, you can increase your total revenue as well as increase your book sales with the publicity created through these income streams.
Using your book as the centerpiece of your platform, consider the following:
- Seek out lucrative public speaking assignments that are often available to published authors
- Create passive streams of revenue by selling related reports, CDs, DVDs, and other products
- Host a radio, podcast, or TV talk show
- Develop subscription websites or newsletters
- Become a spokesperson
- Host teleseminars related to your book
- Teach, coach, and consult–both online and offline
This list is just a small sampling of opportunities you can pursue as an author. Get creative and start generating both active and passive income streams that boost your bottom line and promote your book.

Are You Still Connecting with Amazon Connect?
Last year Amazon introduced its new AmazonConnect program, which enabled authors to communicate directly with their readers and provide profile information and blog-like posts on their books’ detail page. If you’re like many other authors, you signed up and entered a few blog posts.
But if you haven’t participated much recently, you could be missing out on some good sales opportunities. I recently checked my web stats and discovered a new surge in traffic from Amazon to my site, all based on my AmazonConnect participation. So take a look at what’s on your Amazon detail pages and add some new content to maintain the spark of interest in your own books as well.
