Are you ready to launch your book to support your larger business goals?
But that’s ok. That’s what you signed up for because your message matters and having it in book form is something that will leave a mark on the world. It’ll be in bookstores. Libraries. It’ll win awards. People will be abuzz and excited to share about it across the web.
Sounds great! But…(you knew there was a “but”, didn’t you?)
The unfortunate truth is that the average nonfiction book in the United States sells only 250 copies.
Talk about a downer.
From a financial perspective, it doesn’t make sense when you consider the low royalty you’ll receive (which varies based on publishing method, book size, etc.), the expenses for the editing of the manuscript, the cover design, the layout of the book, and any investment you may make in marketing the book…you can see, you’re not exactly making money.
Why is it even worth all the early mornings, late nights, and weekends away from your family to write this thing?
Because your book is a business card for your larger business.
You have to write and publish your book with this in mind for any chance of making money.
I’m Jayme Johnson, Founder and CEO of Worthy Marketing Group and for 15 years I’ve worked with authors helping them do this very thing: leverage the power of a book to grow their larger business.
Through consulting, speaking, online courses, or physical products, we see the larger picture with all of our clients. We understand how launching a book can exponentially raise awareness and raise revenue for your entrepreneurial venture or established business.
I’ve worked with big-name New York Times bestselling authors you no-doubt know, as well as authors just getting started—some with literally no sizable platform, no email list, zip, zilch—to launch their books and significantly grow their businesses.
I want to help you do the same!

Can’t make the calls live? No problem, we’ll record them and make them available on the learning platform so you can listen at your leisure.
TEMPLATES + SPREADSHEETS + LISTS, OH MY!
I’m literally opening up my kimono and handing over to you the VERY tools I use with my clients every day who pay us $45,000 to strategize and execute on their launches. I’m talking editorial calendars, social media planners, outreach lists, email templates…the WHOLE. NINE. YARDS. I genuinely want you to have EVERYTHING you need to succeed.
AND THE COMMUNITY! AND THE COACHING!!
Yes — EVEN MORE value! I believe there’s nothing better than meeting other authors and learning from one another, so every member of Book Launch + Beyond will have access to a private online community where we can meet one another, ask questions of one another, and share one another’s success stories. I’ll be active in this community to engage with you, too!
PLUS –– your tuition to Book Launch + Beyond gives you access to bi-weekly group coaching calls with me during the training. Every other week, I’ll go live within our online community to dive deeper into the content and answer your specific questions.

Who’s the ideal author for Book Launch + Beyond?
Nonfiction authors who are planning to launch their book sometime in 2020 or early 2021 and are looking for support and strategies around marketing. Ideally, you would also have a larger business behind your book — whether speaking, consulting, coaching, selling online courses or other products, so you can utilize the launch of the book to grow the larger brand & business.
How is the course material delivered?
Before the course begins on March 16th, you’ll be given access to an online learning platform where you’ll access the course material week-by-week for twelve weeks. We’ve intentionally built the course to not deliver all the content at once, to ensure you have time to consume and take action on what you’re learning!
Should I be at a certain “level” to benefit from the course?
I’m a fiction author, can I still benefit from the course?
Perhaps, but not nearly as much as a nonfiction author. The strategies and tactics we’ll be teaching in the course are really geared toward authors with businesses where books are just a small part of their overall business plan. For some great info for fiction authors, check out our friend Sean Platt at Sterling and Stone!
