What is a book funnel?

A book funnel is the steps that you take your buyer through to access the various forms of your content. This depends on how the client is familiar with your content and offers.

You can only do this if you are already a celebrity and your book must attract a very high-interest level. Otherwise, it will mean spending a lot of money to market your book and the margins may not be great.

For self-published authors for example who market their own books, it may take months or years to sell. It is more and more difficult to break-even or even to get your money back.

All hope is not lost though, you can always fasten the process of getting a return on investment. This you can do by creating related products and services.
