The author's coaching offer guide
How authors build coaching offers from their books
To build coaching offers from your book, turn the result your book promises into a defined, paid package of direct support for the readers who want more help.
Book Profits Club, an online community for authors, speakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs, teaches authors to build coaching offers by naming one reader, one outcome, one format, and one price, then connecting the book to that offer with a simple funnel. Membership starts free, with Premium at $47/month and VIP Elite at $97/month.

How do you build a coaching offer from a book?
You build a coaching offer from a book by treating the book as the introduction and the offer as the next chapter: personal help applying your method. The reader already trusts your thinking. The offer gives them a faster, supported route to the result the book describes.
Most pages ranking for this search talk about sports coaching jobs or leadership coaching skills. Few explain what an author actually sells after the book is out. This guide covers that gap: the offer, the price, the funnel, and the community around it.
When this approach fits best: you have a book (or a clear message) that solves a real problem, and some readers want more of you. When something else may fit better: if you only want more book sales and no client work, a pure book marketing program is a closer match.

- Should my first coaching offer be one-on-one or group?

- Price from the value of the outcome, your experience, and how much access you give, not from the price of your book. There is no single correct number.
