Phase I: Writing Your Bestseller

Module One: Jumpstart Your Book
Module Two: Structuring and Compiling Your Bestseller

Even though you'll receive access to the entire program upon enrollment, our recommendation is that you work through the program in phases if you are just getting started. In Phase I the focus is on writing and compiling your bestseller. You'll learn the key components that make up a bestselling book, and begin creating the pieces that go at the front and back of your book such as your dedication, acknowledgments, about the author, resources, appendixes, disclaimer, call-to-action, etc.  You'll also define your ideal reader, and Shanda will show you her quick and easy way to conduct market research so you'll know exactly what they are looking for.

Phase II: Building Your Author Platform

Module Three: Planning Your Author Platform
Module Four: Creating and Delivering Your Bonus Gift/Reader Magnet

In order to set yourself up for long-term success as an author, you'll need to begin working on your author platform while you're writing, and that's the theme of Phase II. You'll learn what to include in your author website, social media pages, how to create your unique author brand, how to begin building your tribe, and much more so that you'll have an engaged audience eagerly anticipating your book upon publication. 

Phase III: Preparing for Your Publishing and Authorship Journey

Module Five: Preparing to Publish
Module Six: Launching Your Bestseller

By Phase III, you'll likely be ready to start looking into your publishing options, and Shanda will break down all of  your options so that you can make an educated decision that's best for you and your book. You'll learn how to create a buzz leading up to your launch, how to host a presale for author-signed copies, how to compile a book launch team to leave reviews, and how to plan a virtual book launch party as well as in-person events. You'll also learn how you can turn your authorship journey into a viable business, with your book at the foundation of it all.

"I will be forever grateful for Shanda Trofe crossing my path! I initially took the 5-Day Challenge and I knew it was my ticket to finally fulfilling my dream of becoming a published author! When the five days came to an end, I realized the value and signed up for her Author Success Academy. An added benefit was being connected with other aspiring authors through a private Facebook community where we could interact with each other. Becoming a published author was at the top of my bucket list and I knew it would be a huge regret if I never got it checked off! I learned all the ins and outs of publishing, marketing, branding, building your author platform, lead magnets, ranking on Amazon and other booksellers, how to reach #1 Bestseller status and more! She is a wealth of valuable information! I finally fulfilled my dream, all thanks to Shanda!
