Backmatter Revenue Engine: 5 Steps to Turn Your Book's Backmatter Into an Automated Sales Funnel

Most authors spend weeks on drafts, covers, and launches — then let their book’s backmatter underperform or go blank. In this 8-minute monologue Dan Desmarques and Aria Pride style the playbook authors can implement immediately: map the reader journey, design three high-converting backmatter assets (lead magnet, upsell, social proof), write conversion-focused microcopy, set up link infrastructure that tracks and converts, and run inexpensive A/B tests. You’ll hear a concise case study showing how a 22 Lions author added an email magnet and a mini-course upsell in the backmatter and turned dormant sales into recurring revenue within 30 days. By the end you’ll have one immediate action to publish an optimized backmatter update on your live KDP listing and a clear path to scale it into audiobooks, courses, and ad funnels.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
