Rights Stacking: Turn One Book into 5 Income Streams

Many authors stop at ebook and paperback sales and miss predictable, higher-margin revenue from rights and formats. In this 8‑minute monologue Dan Desmarques breaks down a practical 'rights stacking' system that converts one manuscript into five complementary income streams without sacrificing creative control. You’ll get a clear decision tree for DIY vs. outsource, contract checkpoints to protect royalties, and four numbered steps you can execute in days: inventory rights, prioritize by cost-to-revenue, create asset packages for audio/localization/merch/course/adaptations, and run targeted outreach. Includes a concise case study of an author who added audio and a short course to double annual revenue. The episode ends with an immediate one-page action checklist and a custom CTA to schedule a Rights Strategy call with the 22 Lions publishing team for hands-on packaging and rollout support.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
