Ever feel like you're trapped on the publishing hamster wheel, churning out book after book just to stay relevant? You're not alone. For years, certain corners of the indie publishing world have been pushing the "publish fast, publish often" mantra, leaving authors exhausted and overlooking a goldmine sitting right in their back pocket—their backlist.

In this game-changing episode, we explore how Taylor Swift has mastered the art of keeping her entire catalog alive, relevant, and profitable year after year. From turning a decade-old song into a cultural phenomenon to weaving interconnected stories across platforms, Taylor demonstrates that creative work doesn't have an expiration date. Your books deserve the same treatment.

We break down three powerful principles from Taylor's playbook that any author can apply: finding new hooks for old works, making every release feed the whole catalog, and playing the long game with a cohesive marketing strategy. These techniques transform your backlist from forgotten projects into valuable assets that continue generating income without requiring constant new creation.

Ready to stop treating your books like one-and-done projects and start giving them the life and sales they deserve? Discover how to identify your most profitable backlist titles, use ChatGPT to create promotional content in minutes, and automate your marketing cycles for sustainable success.
