It's a book connected to your business, rather than a stand alone.

Similar to how a phone went from simply making calls (or a book being something that people read) to now powering every aspect of your business.

It becomes the single source of truth for everything you do making creating courses, presentations, training docs, or any other smart asset align with your beliefs and messaging that were set by your book.

It's a nervous system for your business.

Sounds like a manifesto, an essay, or perhaps a brochure for the business. I'm sorry to keep asking all these questions, but I'm curious what the difference would be between a smart book and a manifesto?

Totally hear you, Greg.

Think of it like this:

You used to carry around a compass, a notepad, a camera, a voice recorder…

Then the smartphone came along — and connected all those tools in one device.

Now it’s not just the thing you use, it’s the thing that connects everything you do.

That’s what a Smart Book does.

Sure — you can write a manifesto. A mini book. A blog. A sales deck. A social post.

And yeah, they’re all useful.

But they’re also disconnected. Repetitive. Easy to forget.

What if instead of starting from scratch every time,

you had one manuscript, one source of truth, that generated all those things? What if your entire business was run from your smart book platform?

Smart Publishing Studio doesn’t just help you write a book.

It turns that book into a platform:

For your content

Your sales

Your audience

Your belief system

Your business

All from one place.

It’s not about more words.

It’s about finally connecting them all together.

It's an interesting concept; it all comes down to the execution. I’d need to see more to fully comprehend how it will work. I look forward to seeing your own personal smart book.

😁 yes sir, but a smart book is not something for others, it's the core of your business operations.

It's Your command center.

So if I'm understanding your intentions, it's not a marketing tool and it's not for others, so as you say it's a command center or a dashboard for yourself and your team? Sounds like it's an articulated business model, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Manual ... 😕

What is the “problem” that a SmartBook solves?

Chris Stanley's avatar

This is the problem.

Most people don’t connect their book to their business in a meaningful way.

They treat the book like a product, something to sell, instead of a platform to build from.

I’ve seen brilliant experts write books that don’t bring in a single client. I’ve seen strong businesses publish books that fail to generate any momentum.

Smart Books solve that.

A Smart Book turns your manuscript into the single source of truth for your business. It connects to your content, your lead gen, your offers, and your category POV, just like smartphones connect all your apps into one system.

It’s not just something you publish.

It’s what your whole business should plug into.
