Why Revenue Writers launch books, not funnels
Free Book With Modern Day Creators Sharing the Exact Methods Use to Turn Our Writing Into Real Revenue
I almost gave up on selling my course.
I had the knowledge. I had a solid offer.
But it just... didn’t sell.
Then I tried something that flipped the whole equation.
I wrote a mini-book. Not a full-on, bloated 300-page thing.
Just 10,000 words that made one big idea land.
I charged a few bucks for it, $5 or $9 depending on the platform.
Nothing fancy. No complicated funnel.
But here’s what happened:
That book did the job my landing page never could.
It built trust. It showed how I think. It pre-sold people on the course before they ever clicked a checkout button.
That shift alone turned crickets into clients.
If you're a writer or creator trying to make a living with your words, this strategy (and many more like it) is inside a new project I’m proud to be a part of:
Profitable Playbooks
It’s a free ebook featuring 20+ creators—including me—sharing the exact methods we used to turn our writing into real revenue.
Here’s my piece:
“How mini books (5,000–15,000 words) establish your authority faster than courses, creating trust that leads to high-ticket coaching and product sales.”
You’ll also hear:
How David McIlroy built a magnetic creator orbit by telling the truth about failure
Why Niharikaa Sodhi’s simple writing method beats productivity hacks
The odd way Leo Quinn used physical mail to get VIP attention
And how some of us use AI as a co-pilot—not a shortcut—to write better
The book’s totally free.
No fluff.. Just a rare look at what’s actually working for creators right now.
I hope something in here clicks the way that mini book clicked for me.
