In this episode of Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, Harleigh shares how you can take ONE Amazon KDP children's book and turn it into five different income streams instead of relying solely on your Amazon royalties. From maximizing your book formats and selling directly to creating wholesale opportunities, merchandise, and eventually monetizing your expertise, there are more ways to make money from your book than you might realize. 
Harleigh breaks down the income streams she has personally used to grow her children's book business and shares practical ways you can start small and build additional revenue around the book you've already created.

What You’ll Learn
  •  How to maximize the income potential of your Amazon KDP Children's Book listing
  •  How IngramSpark can expand your book formats and wholesale distribution
  •  How KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited can create another source of book royalties
  •  Why you don't need an entire children's book series to start building multiple streams of income
