Backlist Cash Machine

Backlist Cash Machine

shows self-published authors, nonfiction creators, and small publishers how to turn older titles into a dependable source of recurring revenue. Instead of treating published books as finished products, Xavier N. Grant teaches readers to manage their catalog like a business asset that can keep working long after launch day.

With a practical, instructional approach, the book explains how to audit a backlist title by title, identify which books have the strongest growth potential, and decide what to fix, bundle, keep, or retire. Readers will learn how to sharpen positioning, improve discoverability, and connect books so each title supports the next.

The book also explores smarter packaging, pricing, promotion, and series strategy to help existing books sell more consistently without relying on constant new releases. Designed for authors who want more stability, more freedom, and more value from the work they have already created, this guide offers a clear path to making older books earn year after year.
