This is the real start of “Book Planning”, word for word. Tick the boxes and watch the progress bar move.
Every checklist works the same way: a short brief, the steps in the order that actually works, a practical tip under every step, and pro tips at the end.
18 checklists in this volume. 1,556 in the library. No forty-minute videos to decode.
Each one is a complete, follow-along process. Open it, work through it, tick it off. Every checklist comes as an interactive checklist, a printable PDF and an editable Word document.
A book that sells is planned before a single chapter is written. This checklist takes you from a vague ambition to a locked topic, a working title, a defined reader and a clear business goal for the book.
The manuscript is where most would-be authors stall, and it is the one stage where a system beats talent. This checklist covers the full writing pipeline for 2026: outlining, drafting on a schedule, using AI as a drafting and editing assistant without losing your voice, and knowing exactly what you must disclose to Amazon if AI generated any of the content.
Buyers absolutely judge books by their covers, and on Amazon your cover competes as a thumbnail smaller than a postage stamp. This checklist walks you through researching what works in your category, briefing or building the design, and producing every file you need: ebook cover, full print wrap with spine, and the sizes the stores demand.
Between a finished manuscript and a live book sits the unglamorous stage that separates professional books from obvious amateur jobs: front and back matter, print-ready interior files, a clean ebook file, and a plan for the audiobook edition.
Books do not sell themselves, and the marketing assets you build before launch decide how hard every later channel works. This checklist covers the foundations: your marketing asset pack, your press kit, your Dream 100 outreach list, your sales model, and an early review strategy that stays inside Amazon's rules.
CreateSpace is long gone: Amazon merged it into Kindle Direct Publishing back in 2018, and today KDP handles your paperback and hardcover from the same dashboard as your ebook.
Amazon is the biggest bookstore, but it is not the only one, and 'wide' publishing means your book is also on Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play, Barnes and Noble and in library systems.
The Kindle edition is usually the first format live and the engine of your Amazon visibility, so it deserves a careful upload rather than a rushed one.
Amazon advertising puts your book in front of shoppers at the exact moment they are browsing books like yours, which makes it the highest-intent traffic a self publisher can buy.
Beyond Amazon's own ads, paid social and search put your book in front of audiences who were not looking for a book at all, which is exactly where funnels and lead-generation books shine.
The giveaway funnel trades your ebook for an email address: free book, fast list growth, and a follow-up sequence that turns readers into buyers.
The free-plus-shipping funnel gives away the physical book while the customer pays shipping and handling, and it remains one of the best buyer-lead machines in direct response: everyone who completes checkout has pulled out a card, which makes them a buyer, not a freebie-seeker.
A local launch event will not top any bestseller chart, but for authority in your own market it punches far above its weight: press coverage, photos and video you reuse for years, and a room full of potential clients holding your book.
An online launch concentrates all your promotion into one window so sales spike together, rank climbs, reviews land, and the book earns visibility that trickles on for months.
A book is one of the best lead generation tools a business can own: it earns trust no advert can buy, and it works for years after launch week ends.
For most non-fiction authors the book is the cheapest thing they sell and the most profitable thing they never sell directly: its job is to create trust and hand-raisers for higher-priced programs, services and offers behind it.
Event organisers need credible speakers, and 'author of the book on this topic' is exactly the credibility they look for. A book turns speaking from something you chase into something you get invited to, and speaking in turn sells books, builds your list and feeds your backend.
A translated edition opens a market where you have zero competitors from your home market and multiplies the authority the book already earned.
