From Book-Seller to Business-Builder

Turn your book into a thriving digital empire.

You poured your heart into your book… but now what?

For most authors, the story ends at publication. The book is out—but the business never begins.

The truth is:

It’s not that you lack the passion or the message.

You're told to “just market harder,” but royalty checks barely pay for lunch.
You're constantly posting content, but it’s not converting into clients or cash flow.
You have valuable expertise, but you’re not sure how to package it beyond the book.
You’re spinning your wheels trying to figure out funnels, lead magnets, or what to sell next.

You just haven’t been given a clear, strategic path to monetize it.

Introducing The Monetized Author Framework

A proven step-by-step system that helps authors go beyond book sales and build a scalable, profitable business around their message.

Whether you want to launch a course, create coaching offers, or automate your income with funnels—you don’t need to guess your way through it. This framework shows you exactly how to:

Shift from writer to revenue-generator
Grow an audience that buys from you—not just follows you
Create and sell digital products based on your book
Build automated systems that bring in income while you sleep
Expand your reach through partnerships, speaking, and authority-building strategies

You don’t need a bestseller to build a business.

You need a business model that starts with your book and scales with your brilliance.

This isn’t just another book marketing course.

It’s a complete business-building system designed specifically for authors.

The Monetized Author Framework walks you through five powerful pillars—each one helping you transform your book into a thriving, scalable business.

Hi, I'm Vanessa Collins – and I Know This Path Firsthand

I’m Vanessa Collins—Publishing Coach, Business Strategist, and creator of The Monetized Author Framework. I’ve worked with hundreds of authors who’ve poured their hearts into their books, only to feel stuck when it comes to actually building a business around them. I know the frustration of chasing book sales and wondering what comes next—because I’ve lived it.

After turning my own book into a six-figure business through digital products, coaching, and automation, I realized the missing piece for most authors isn’t passion—it’s a plan. That’s why I created this framework: to help purpose-driven writers like you go beyond book sales and build a brand, business, and income that matches the power of your message.

Listen, I get it...

It took a while for me to learn how to produce products and services from my first book.

Started With Few Book Sales In 2009- $1500
ebooks And Online Royalties - $525
Turned It Into A Conference In 2012 - $4558
Speaking - $1800
Write Your Book FAST Coaching Programs – $8,000
Social Media Bootcamp For Authors - $600
Other Coaching - $3,178

Total - $20,161 But It Took 7 Years

Then in 2017, it clicked. Not only did I learn to write my book quickly (30 days), I also learned how to produce products and services like Online courses, coaching and membership programs quickly.

2017 - $18,634
2018 - $13,834
2019 - $8,222
2020 - $8,281
2021 - $10,977
2022 - $7,935
2023 - $11,742
2024 - $10,724

Total in 8 years - $90,349

Then in 2018, I levelled up. I sharpened my skills in digital marketing and produced some amazing results…

2018 - $27,392
2019 - $71,614
2020 - $72,461
2021 - $58,392
2022 - $39,988
2023 - $43,826
2024 - $23,777

Total in 7 years - $337,450

So after 16 years and almost $450K from products and services created JUST from books I learned…

People will pay you for solutions they value.
We all have a wealth of knowledge we have not completely tapped into.
Although the quickest way to organized that knowledge is to write your book, you must have a plan that goes Beyond the Book!

This is why I created The Monetized Author Program

You worked HARD to write your book and for good reason. There are so many people who need to hear your message. However, they need more than just to hear it, they need ways to implement what they heard. But, it’s not just about them.

This message can help you provide the financial security you seek for your business and family. Packaged properly, your message can help you build a successful business you can pass on to your loved ones.

Choose Your Monetized Author Path

No matter where you are in your author journey, there’s a clear next step waiting for you. Whether you're building your foundation, launching your first product, or ready to scale, The Monetized Author experience gives you the structure, support, and strategy you need to succeed.
