{"title":"Rights to Revenue: 5-Step Playbook to Turn Your Book into Multiple Income Streams","one_liner":"A concise, actionable 8-minute playbook that shows authors how to inventory, productize, price, and license every saleable right in a book so one manuscript becomes multiple steady revenue streams.","description":"Most authors treat a published book as a single product and wonder why sales plateau. This episode teaches a practical, five-step rights-to-revenue system—inventory rights, productize formats, outreach for licensing and foreign rights, price deal structures, and launch a parallel monetization plan—so a single manuscript becomes ebooks, audiobooks, workbooks, courses, translations, and licensed content. I walk you through each step with clear, numbered actions and a compact case study of a 22 Lions author who converted a nonfiction title into four distinct income lines within 90 days. By the end you’ll have an immediate 30/60/90-day checklist: what to audit, who to pitch, and the one contract clause to protect recurring revenue. This episode is practical, legal-sensible, and designed for authors ready to scale beyond single-format sales.","why_now":"Diversifying rights and formats is a timeless way authors increase income and resilience; the approach works in every publishing cycle and doesn’t rely on fleeting trends.","target_audience":"Authors ready to turn a finished manuscript into a diversified, professional author business—new and experienced indie authors who want practical steps to create multiple income streams from one book.","episode_type":"monologue","estimated_runtime_s":480,"outline":["00:00-00:40 — Hook: The common pain—one book, one income stream.
