With the right strategy, anyone can write a book that elevates their brand.
A book instantly positions you as an expert in your field.
Books opens doors to speaking engagements, media features, and high-value partnerships.
Hi! I’m Travis Cody, a bestselling author and book-publishing strategist dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and experts turn their knowledge into powerful marketing tools. Through my Million Dollar Author system, I guide clients to create, publish, and promote bestselling books in just 90 days—unlocking new revenue streams, attracting high-ticket clients, and boosting their credibility.
Read on to discover how I help make it happen!
Want to be seen as the authority in your space? Here’s a wild truth: A bestselling author holds more credibility today than someone with a PhD.
I saw this firsthand when I watched Deepak Chopra on CNN. His title? Not "Dr. Chopra." It was "Deepak Chopra, Bestselling Author."
That’s because books position you as an expert in a way that nothing else does. Your ideal clients see an author as someone who is worth listening to. It’s an instant shortcut to credibility—and in today’s world, credibility is currency.
Think about it: If you were looking for a financial advisor and had two equally skilled candidates, but one had written The Definitive Guide to Wealth Creation, while the other had no book, who would you trust more? The one with the book.
A book isn’t just a marketing tool; it’s a credibility builder, a business card on steroids, and an entry ticket into rooms you previously couldn’t get into. And the best part? You don’t have to be a literary genius to write one. You just need a clear strategy and the right approach.
So, the question is: Why don’t you have a book yet?
Got a book idea but stuck on where to start? Hit reply and let’s talk.
Most business owners assume writing a book is a massive undertaking - years of effort, late nights, and endless rewrites. But the truth? A well-positioned book can be created in just a few weeks, and it can revolutionize your credibility, authority, and sales.
When I first discovered this, I was ghostwriting for a drug dealer (yes, really). That experience cracked open the secret: A book isn’t just about the content inside - it’s about positioning yourself as the go-to expert in your industry.
A book does something no other marketing tool can: It gives you instant credibility and authority. When you hand someone a book, you are no longer just another business owner - you are an author, and that title carries immense weight. Imagine your ideal client looking at two competitors: one has a book, and the other doesn’t. Who do they trust more? The author, of course.
Beyond credibility, a book opens doors. It lands you speaking engagements, media features, and high-value partnerships. It differentiates you in your industry and makes it easier for clients to say yes to working with you.
Every week, I’ll walk you through various ways that you can write, publish, and leverage your own book to attract dream clients and double (or even triple) your revenue. Stay tuned.
