How Chris Stanley Turned Mini Books into a $750K ARR Business—with Help from AI

Chris Stanley is a 30-time author, founder of IA Path, and the mind behind the Mini Book Model. In this episode, Chris reveals how he built a three-quarter-million-dollar ARR coaching business—serving a micro-niche market—by publishing short, ultra-targeted books.

We talk about:

  • Why 10,000-word books are often more effective than 50,000-word ones

  • The “1-3-1” writing cadence that removes the fear of the blank page

  • How to use AI to create derivative content that stays true to your voice

  • Why authors should think like category designers

  • The power of mini books as marketing assets, not just creative projects

This episode is a blueprint for anyone who wants to transform their expertise into revenue—without spending months (or years) writing a traditional book.
