YOUR QUESTION, ANSWERED

What does the Authority Launch System bring together?

The Authority Launch System combines a 12-week build with a 12-week launch and implementation phase. The existing program connects manuscript and publishing preparation with a reader funnel, course framework, community, visibility assets, and authority development. The written proposal defines the work, approvals, third-party costs, and specific boundaries of each deliverable.

Build the reader experience before expanding the campaign.

A book release creates activity. Without a clear next step, a reader who wants more help still has to work out how to reach you.

Start with the book promise and a useful continuation. An opt-in resource should help the reader apply the material. An educational offer should address a defined need. The funnel should explain each choice without making the book purchase feel incomplete.

The program’s production and launch stages require your participation. Manuscript feedback, asset approvals, offer decisions, teaching material, and delivery capacity affect progress. Review the listed scope against your starting point and establish what must be supplied before each phase begins.

A defined audience An agreed scope A practical next step

Optional six-month social media management is scoped separately. Advertising spend, third-party fees, and any mentorship extension terms belong in the written proposal. Ranking and revenue depend on demand, execution, and market conditions.

Which starting point sounds like yours?

Open the closest match to review the decisions worth discussing.

01I am building from the beginning

Bring the manuscript stage, core expertise, intended reader, and any source material. Identify development and publishing dependencies first.

02I have a book and some assets

Review which files, pages, offers, and accounts are usable. Scope the required work explicitly instead of assuming every asset needs replacement.

03I need clarity on investment

Compare the listed paid-in-full amount with the full installment total. Separate included services from advertising, external fees, and optional management.

Bring the material. Clarify the plan.

Use this optional checklist to prepare. Unfinished items are discussion points, not barriers to applying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens on the strategy call?

We review your idea or manuscript, publishing goals, and starting point. You leave with a clearer view of relevant services and next steps.

How do I choose the right level of support?

Tell us what you have completed and where you need help. We assess the manuscript or existing assets and outline a suitable scope.

What happens before work begins?

Your written proposal identifies deliverables, fees, responsibilities, approvals, and schedule. Review the agreement before authorizing the project.

Is the payment-plan total the same as the paid-in-full price?

No. The page lists $30,000 paid in full and a $35,000 installment total. Review the current written proposal, payment schedule, and terms before choosing a payment option.

Does audiobook-ready mean a finished audiobook?

No. Audiobook-ready manuscript preparation is different from narration, recording, editing, mastering, and audio release. A finished audiobook requires its own defined production scope.

What does the course framework include?

The agreement should identify the curriculum outline, lessons, assets, platform setup, and production work included. Confirm who records content, builds lessons, and supports participants rather than assuming all course production is included.
