Every great business, movement, or category starts with one thing: an idea.
But turning that idea into something tangible, something that creates real change, is where most people stumble. That’s why this isn’t just a Substack; it’s your roadmap to becoming a Revenue Writer—someone who doesn’t just write for the sake of it but creates a Mini Book that drives revenue, authority, and impact.
Here, you’re not just writing a book—you’re creating a category, a space inside the mind of your customers for your solution.
I’ll show you how to build a revenue machine that uses your Mini Book as the engine to fuel your business. Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling an established brand, this framework will meet you where you are.
You’ll create this revenue machine across 7 stages, or laps. With the 7 Laps Framework, I’ll guide you step-by-step through turning your idea into a Mini Book that powers your business and positions you as the go-to expert in your field.

7 Laps of a Money-Making Business
Lap 1: Chassis (Niche)
The chassis is the foundation of your business and your Mini Book. Without this framework, the rest of your business falls apart. As a Revenue Writer, this step is where you define:
What problem do you solve?
Who is it for?
How does it guide your audience to a specific outcome?

Lap 2: Engine (Mini Book)
Your Mini Book is the engine that drives your business. But writing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. As a Revenue Writer, your focus isn’t on crafting the longest book but the most impactful one—something that solves a clear problem and moves readers to action.

Lap 3: Transmission (Marketing)
A book without an audience is just a journal. Marketing is the transmission that connects your engine (Mini Book) to your audience. As a Revenue Writer, this lap teaches you how to position, launch, and sustain momentum for your book.

Lap 4: Tires (Products)
Your Mini Book isn’t just a book—it’s the key to unlocking multiple revenue streams. Revenue Writers know how to turn their book into an ecosystem of value: courses, coaching, memberships, and more.

Lap 5: Body (Brand)
Your brand is what people think of you—and the outcomes you help them achieve. As a Revenue Writer, you’ll showcase your expertise through success stories, testimonials, and consistent branding across your books, products, and platforms.

Lap 6: Dashboard (Metrics)
Metrics are your dashboard, helping you track what’s working and what isn’t. Revenue Writers use data to make smart decisions, focus on what drives results, and scale their efforts sustainably.
Coming Soon: “Mini Book Momentum” series.
Lap 7: Fuel (Community)
Community is the fuel that powers your Mini Book and business. Revenue Writers don’t just build audiences—they create movements. By engaging authentically and inspiring loyalty, they turn readers into superfans and collaborators.
