from The 22 Lions Podcast: AI, Self-Publishing & Book Empire Secrets · host 22Lions.com

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.
