Overwhelmed by the Costs of Publishing

and Marketing Your Book?

You’re passionate about your book, but the costs of publishing feel overwhelming, and you’re not sure where to start.

You lie awake at night, worrying about how to pay for editing, printing, and marketing—and wondering if you’ll ever get it all done.

The strategies you’ve tried to piece together aren’t working, and you feel stuck, stressed, and unsure of how to move forward.

You can’t help but wonder: how are other authors managing to fund their books, grow their platforms, and turn their ideas into thriving businesses?

“As a top real estate agent in Florida and the creator of RevUp Solutions & Transaction Management, I’ve always focused on innovation and elevating my industry. Attending Beyond the Book opened my eyes to a new way of thinking—not just about monetizing my book but leveraging strategic collaborations to grow my platform and impact.

I now see how my book can do more than tell a story—it can create meaningful partnerships, drive business, and provide the real estate community with valuable education. Beyond the Book helped me connect the dots between my expertise, network, and book, allowing me to strategically align with collaborators who share my mission.

As someone who mentors and inspires the next generation of realtors, I’m excited to use this knowledge to elevate not just my book and platform but also the industry as a whole. Beyond the Book is a game-changer for anyone looking to turn their book into a powerful, revenue-generating platform."

"As a publisher, author, and CEO of a thriving VA agency, I thought I understood many of the nuances of publishing—until I joined Beyond the Book. Jodi’s framework definitely added to how I approach book funding and sponsorships. Not only did I build out a structured sponsorship chart for my newest book project, but I also gained a new strategy to present with confidence.

Beyond that, I took what I learned and integrated sponsorship into my entire book series, creating a limited edition model that generated $84k for a real estate-focused book alone. The ideas, insights, and real-world strategies I walked away with were invaluable. Now, sponsorship isn’t just an add-on—it’s a core part of how I monetize and scale my publishing projects. If you’re an author looking to take your book beyond just pages in print and into a real business, this program is a game-changer."

"As a brand strategist, I’ve spent years helping entrepreneurs craft their identity and position themselves for success. But when it came to funding my book, I realized I needed a strategy aligned with my vision while allowing me to launch without financial stress. That’s when I found Beyond the Book, which completely shifted my approach.

Jodi’s framework opened my eyes to the power of sponsorships—not just as a funding tool but as a way to create meaningful collaborations that amplify impact. I’m applying this strategy to my upcoming book, The Business Playbook, which supports women launching their own businesses. With sponsorships in place, I’m not only covering my publishing costs but also positioning my book as a platform for empowering female entrepreneurs and elevating my brand in the process.

If you’re looking for a way to turn your book into a profitable, purpose-driven movement, Beyond the Book is the key."

"As a former professional motorcycle racer, author, and riding coach, I know that success comes from preparation, planning, and a “go for it” attitude. Jodi’s program, Beyond the Book,  got me organized, focused, and taking action. It gave me the push and support I needed to finally complete my book sponsorship package—something I’d been putting off for way too long. Now, I’ve got a solid strategy, a polished pitch, and the confidence to go after sponsorships.

With my background in motorcycle racing and extreme sports, I know what it means to push limits—and Beyond the Book helped me do the same with my book journey. I now have the tools to monetize my platform, scale my brand, and fund every book I write moving forward. Beyond the Book has set me up not just for one book, but for a future of fully-funded, high-impact projects."

How it all started...

I made a critical mistake.

I’d always dreamed of writing a book that would not only inspire others but also serve as the launchpad for a thriving platform and business I could be proud of. I was excited to share my story and expertise, believing this book could change lives—including my own.


But as I dove in, I quickly realized the reality: publishing wasn’t cheap. Editing, design, printing, marketing—it all added up fast. Then came the unexpected costs of PR, ads, and building a platform.

I’ll never forget the day I hit my breaking point.


I was sitting at my desk, overwhelmed by mounting invoices, trying to figure out how to keep moving forward when my child walked in, asking if I could come play. I snapped, saying I didn’t have time. The disappointment on their face broke me.


In that moment, I realized the path I was on wasn’t sustainable. I was chasing a dream, but it was costing me everything else. Something had to change.

When it finally clicked, my mind was blown.

In that moment, I realized the path I was on wasn’t sustainable. I was chasing a dream, but it was costing me everything else. Something had to change.

Just when I was ready to give up, I came across a strategy through my publisher —a way to fund my book through collaborations and sponsorships before it was even published.

It sounded almost too good to be true, but I decided to give it a shot.

And then it worked.

In fact, it worked so well that I raised $91,000 before my book was even printed. That funding covered my publishing costs, allowed me to attend marketing retreats, and even gave me the resources to hire professionals for PR, photos, video and a marketing agency.

But it didn’t stop there.

The success of my book collaborations helped me build a thriving platform, scale my business, and create an online course that grew to 7 figures—all while continuing to monetize the book itself.

A Method That Works.

The process I created—one that worked for me and others—is called Beyond the Book.

It’s a proven system that helps authors fund their books, grow their platforms, and scale their businesses before their books are even published.

The key? Leveraging strategic collaborations and partnerships to not only cover costs but create opportunities for lasting growth.

Without this process, you’ll likely face the same challenges I did—working too hard, running over budget, and feeling stuck with no clear path forward.

Beyond the Book Allowed Me to Achieve My Dream.

I built a 7-figure business that generates predictable, scalable revenue—all while being fully present for the things that matter most.

If you’re ready to fund your book and create the platform and business you’ve always dreamed of, I’d love for you to join me.

I’ve created a free training that reveals the exact process I used—and that’s helped hundreds of other authors—turn their books into thriving platforms.
