TO BE CLEAR...

I am not saying that if you take this course, you will become a multi-millionaire thought leader. (My lawyer would fire me.) I AM saying that this is what I have done to build a seven-figure business. It has cost me ample time, energy and money to get here—it has been the opposite of overnight success. What I'm giving you here is a head START so that you don't have to figure these things out on your own like I did.

"Wait! Do I need to have finished my book for this to work?"

Not at all. In fact, the BEST TIME to learn this information is before you've finished your book (but if you have finished it, it's not too late!)

"Wait! I haven't figured out my brand strategy yet!"

I'm a big believer in figuring out the brand strategy by DOING it. No amount of sitting there brainstorming beats putting yourself out there and letting people KNOW YOU'RE THERE.

Why is being an Author Expert important?

A book is the ultimate business card—a way for business owners, coaches and consultants (or people who may one day be business owners, coaches or consultants) to attract ideal clients while saving money and time.
Here's the deal: the majority of small businesses in the US spend tens of thousands of dollars on advertising and marketing while the average solopreneur wastes tens of thousands of hours trying to DIY often ineffective strategies to get their work seen and heard. 
What are they missing???
A book by the founder/coach/consultant.
But not any old book. It needs to be a book that establishes that founder/coach/consultant as an expert. And the book needs to be accompanied by an author platform that makes the author the person clients feel like THEY HAVE TO hire.
How do I know so much about this? Because we've been able to build Legacy Launch Pad into a seven-figure business without any marketing, advertising, partnerships, publicists or anything of the sort.
We've instead created a business where we field requests rather than pursue clients because of my Author Expertise. In short, we have been able to attract a steady stream of clients because I developed my brand as an expert in book publishing.
This course is a way to attract clients without having to do all that. This isn't an empty promise: I have built a seven-figure business without advertising or promotion.

What does being an Author Expert mean?

It means getting in front of your ideal clients so that you can become the go-to expert in your field, own a corner of the marketplace that is uniquely yours, eliminate the competition and get paid for your ideas, thinking and expertise. 

In short, it's the missing piece of credibility you need to go from hustling for every deal to establishing a steady stream of clients who know what you offer and how you can help them already (because they've already read—or know about—your book!)

The best time to start developing yourself as an Author Expert was 10 years ago.

The second best time is NOW.

In other words...it is NOT too late for you!

I'M IN!

I'm Anna.

I'm a New York Times bestselling author who was broke for years despite being a New York Times bestselling author.

That's because I hadn't figured out how to write books that would make me an Author Expert—or create a business around that.

In 2017, I founded Legacy Pad Publishing, which writes and publishes books for entrepreneurs who want to step into their greatness as experts. The books I now write—and brand I promote—attract a never-ending stream of clients to us.

This course shows you EVERY STEP I took to establish my expertise through books—and then continue to maintain it. By following the SIMPLE steps I lay out here, you can do the same.

Watching the course videos will take less than 90 minutes and implementing all the suggested strategies takes no more than a few hours a week. In other words, you can start making serious progress in terms of your brand awareness IMMEDIATELY (as in, after a lesson or two).

This course is essentially hundreds of hours of my own trial and error (mostly error) distilled into nine videos so you can skip the decades I spent having to figure all of this out. 

I look forward to hearing about you as the Author Expert in your field.

When other entrepreneurs tell me about their Facebook ads and JV partnerships and marketing spends and then ask me my "lead gen strategy," my answer is, "Being me."

I want the same thing for you.
