How to Sell MORE Books
If you’re an author or aspiring to be one, THIS is for you.
Here’s an Eye-Opening Stat:
Only 0.003% of books sell over 1 million copies.
What the heck do those authors do that others don’t?
I needed to know…So I went and asked 100+ of them to share their secrets.
In-person. Got on planes. Stayed in hotels. The whole thing.
And now I want to share what I’ve learned with you.
If you’re an author or aspiring author, keep reading.
If you aren’t an author, feel free to skip this post.
Quick Backstory:
In January 2025, I signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster.
…But I had no idea how to write a book.
“How could I learn from successful authors?” I thought to myself.
“How could I get them to want to tell me their secrets?”
Then I saw somebody say that “If you want a seat at the table, host the meal,” and the idea hit me.
“What if I hosted group dinners for authors so they could network and I’ll pick their brain throughout the conversation?”
The idea was an instant success…
The first meeting had two bestselling authors.
The second meeting had James Clear–who’s sold over 25 million copies!
The next had Gretchen Rubin, then Arthur Brooks, and more big-name authors.
I was also added to a secret WhatsApp with 50+ authors–many of whom are NYT bestsellers.
Then in the summer, I got invited to a secret author mastermind where you have to sell 1M+ copies to join (I was the notetaker for the event).
If you count up all of the authors I’ve met, you’re looking at over 50+ million books sold and $1 BILLION in book sales.
During these private dinners, groups, and masterminds, I learned the real secrets to writing a bestselling book.
The stuff authors don’t share in articles or podcasts.
Insights and lessons you won’t learn from your publisher or find online.
But then something strange happened…
These authors started asking ME for advice.
They were amazed at how I was able to identify the most valuable parts of a book and make posts go viral–even if the book wasn’t well-known.
They started paying me (many) thousands of dollars to edit their books and consult on how to help their book go viral on social media.
You see, after reading hundreds of books, I saw patterns in amazing books and could predict whether a book would be a bestseller before it was even published.
And for the first time, I’ll be sharing a few of the secrets I’ve learned over this past year with you.
But it won’t be just me you’ll be learning from–you’ll also learn from two incredible authors and marketing experts:
1)
: My co-host on the meals. Jon’s sold 200,000+ self-published books. His two recent books both got six-figure deals with HarperCollins Leadership.2)
: Co-Founder of Author.Inc. Known behind the scenes as the smartest person in book publishing. He’s the secret weapon who helped Tim Ferriss, Codie Sanchez, Noah Kagan, and Ramit Sethi edit, position, and launch their books.Together, we’ll be hosting a workshop and covering 3 important topics every author should know in 2025:
The key elements of book titles and covers that sell millions of copies.
How to replace (or amplify) a $100,000 editor with AI prompts and processes.
How to get your book’s content to go viral on social media and sell thousands of copies.
Here are the details:
What: Deep dive workshop into how to write and market a bestselling book.
Who: Myself, Jonathan Goodman, and Charlie Hoehn.
When: October 2nd at 11am EST (recording included if you can’t attend live).
Here’s what other book marketers would charge for this:
Fancy book marketing agency: $10,000+
Online marketing retreat: $6,500
Private consultation: $1,000
But us, we’re charging just $100.
Why so affordable? We love authors and want to help as many as possible.
So if you have a book (or are writing one) and want to sell more copies, this workshop is for you.
I hope to see you there,
–Alex W.
