You Got A Buyer. Did You Build What Comes After?
from Build First · host Paula Banks
Someone just bought your book. The order confirmed. The reader has it in hand. Now what? If you don't have a clear answer to that question, this episode is for you.Paula breaks down Pillar 3 of the Build First framework — Product Pathway. She explains what a product pathway actually is, why every sale that ends without a next step is a relationship that closes before it ever really opens, and what this looks like specifically for children's book authors —including backlist, institutional buyers like schools and libraries, and high-value extensions like school visits and speaking.The author who is great at writing but never thought about what comes after the book is one of the most common patterns Paula sees. It is not a talent problem. It is a design problem. And in this episode, she shows you what to build instead.📖 Grab Build First: Why Most Authors Build Backwards — And How to Fix It and get the full framework: https://buildfirstbook.netlify.app/✅ Not sure where you are in your author journey?
