Here are answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs):
Who is the Golden Publishing Sales Machine for?
The Golden Publishing Sales Machine is designed for people with ideas they want to share through books and courses to help or entertain as many as possible and make sales.
What if I already have published books and courses?
Great, we can breathe new life into your books and courses by combining them in a Digital Experience Edition and promoting them with multimedia and speaking engagements.
What if I am already working with a team through the writing and publishing process?
Good. We can look for ways to augment what they are already doing for you. Perhaps record audio for an audiobook and build a membership program to complement the book.
What do you mean by publishing everywhere that pays?
I recommend creating Print Books, eBooks, Audiobooks, and Digital Experience Editions.
We have used Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark in the past. Here is what I am exploring with my own books:
- Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) for print and eBooks.
- Audiobooks through Amazon’s Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX).
- Publishing everywhere else that pays through an aggregator such as Draft3Digital or PublishDrive.
Amazon is by far the biggest sales opportunity, which is why we start there first, then make the books available far and wide through other platforms.
Is Shared Visions Unlimited the publisher?
While Shared Visions Unlimited could be the publisher, the preference is to set you up with your own accounts on Amazon and others so that you have total control and receive all of the money from sales.
The Digital Experience Editions and Membership Programs are published as collaborations with Shared Visions Unlimited, if not on your own platforms.
Kartra and GoHighLevel are recommended for these offerings.
You could also have arrangements with a traditional or hybrid publisher.
What is the Sales Machine part of the plan?
The approach is to start promoting and selling during the development process through a low-cost membership program and regular online presentations with question-and-answer sessions.
This helps fund development, engage ideal clients, and gather valuable feedback that will make the books and memberships better.
What if I don’t have much time to write and create content?
Greg Dixon offers a Golden Ghostwriter Publishing Retainer in which he collects information from you through books, articles, and interviews, identifies main themes, and uses outlines to work with AI tools to create the book, membership, and marketing assets. You review the draft content for revision and approval.
Is Three Months Enough Time?
For most projects, yes. Some could be longer or shorter.
Publishing four books a year is achievable for most non-fiction authors.
