Catalog Harvest: 5 Steps to Repackage Your Backlist into a Profit-Driving Author Catalog

Most authors sit on a goldmine: a backlist that underperforms because it’s scattered, mispriced, or never converted into audio and bundles. In this 8-minute, actionable monologue Aria walks you through a five-step Catalog Harvest system that Dan Desmarques uses with authors to multiply lifetime value from existing books. You’ll learn how to audit and prioritize titles by ROI potential, pick the right repackaging formats (bundles, revised editions, microbooks, audiobooks, translations), set a pricing ladder that encourages series read-through, and run low-cost promotional sequences that reactivate past readers. The episode includes an anonymized case study showing a fast revenue uplift and a 60-minute audit checklist you can execute today. Practical, platform-safe, and focused on measurable lifts—not hype.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
